    FAQ

    Questions

    Who is the academy for?

    Xtreme Security and Securiwatch officers, new hires and people preparing for security work.

    Is a certificate the same as a security licence?

    No. It is a certificate of completion for internal company training. It does not replace your provincial licensing course or licence. Your licence comes from your province, state or territory regulator.

    Why do you ask for my date of birth?

    Only to tell apart people who have the same name. It is never printed, never shown on the verify page and never stored in your browser.

    What score do I need?

    80% on the final quiz (8 out of 10). You get 3 attempts. After 3 attempts, the quiz locks for 24 hours, then you get 3 new attempts.

    Can I rush through the lessons?

    No. Each lesson has a minimum reading time before you can complete it, and the quiz unlocks only after all 4 lessons.

    How is a certificate verified?

    Scan the QR code, or enter the certificate ID and the 8-character verification code on the verify page. There is no public search by name.

    How long are records kept?

    As described in the Privacy Policy: 7 years after a certificate expires, is revoked or is replaced; 24 months for accounts with no certificate; 3 years for quiz attempts.
