The Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) requires that all security guard instructors pass the Certified Trainer examination in order to be licensed to conduct security guard training for the private security industry. The DOL web site lists numerous links that those interested in becoming certified trainers can explore to help prepare them for the challenging exam. Visiting all these web sites and combing through the hundreds of pages of material is a very time-consuming and cumbersome process. Michael Jaquish of STSI (Security Training Services International) has refined the process by doing all that work for you and compiling the study material into this book that will serve as both a study guide for passing the exam and as a reference manual.
