Nevada State 20-Hour Casino Security Guard Supplemental Training Course

The 20-hour supplemental course was created by TwoProtect Training Institute and Terry Brown to provide the supplemental training that is needed for security guards in Nevada, but is not currently required by the state of Nevada. This same type of security guard training is required in California, Arizona and many other nearby states, which is why this course is highly recommended for all security guards in Nevada, particularly those working in Casinos.

Although this is listed as a Casino Security Guard course, it is relevant for all Security Guards in Nevada.

NV-100: Total Hours - 20

Unlike most other states, Nevada does not require a guard card for unarmed security guards, however, each security guard does need a Nevada state work card from the Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board (PILB) (also referred to as a state registration card). For security gures, the work card is specifically listed for security, and in order to obtain one, security guards need to pass a specific security guard open-book test from the PILB.

Unarmed Security Guard Requirements

Nevada also differs from other states (such as California and Arizona)  because it does not require mandatory pre-assignment classroom training for unarmed guards. Instead, security guards candidates must meet basic background qualifications and pass an open-book exam from the PILB.

Because of the lack of a training requirement, TwoProtect Training Institute also recommends that you take our 20-Hour Nevada State Casino Security Guard Course to be better prepared to work as a securiy guard in Nevada.

Minimum Qualifications for Nevada State Work Card

• Age: Must be at least 18 years old.
• Citizenship: Must be a U.S. citizen, legal permanent resident, or possess a valid employment authorization card.
• Character: Must be of good moral character and temperate habits.
• Criminal History: Must have no felony convictions, no convictions involving crimes of moral turpitude, and no offenses involving the illegal use or possession of a dangerous weapon.

The PILB Security Exam (See below for the Study Guide)

• You must take a written test based on Nevada state statutes and administrative codes.
• Topics include powers of arrest, citizens' rights, limits of authority, and recognizing law noncompliance.
• A perfect score of 100% is required to pass, but the exam can be completed online during your registration application.

Application Steps & Fees

1. Create an account and complete the application via the online PILB application portal.
2. Upload a passport-style color photo, a government-issued photo ID, and your Social Security card.
3. Submit a fingerprint receipt or two physical fingerprint cards for an FBI background check.
4. Pay the processing fee: $85 for standard processing or $129 for expedited processing

We have put this study guide from the PILB into an EASILY READABLE FORMAT, unlike the PDF Version from the State of Nevada, which is poorly formated and hard to read.
