As a state licensed security training academy using templates established by Texas DPS, our course certificates of completion are to be accepted by every security agency licensed in the state of Texas in regards to the Non-commissioned, Commission, and Bodyguard courses. DPS licenses and empowers TCTA to teach the course and hand those certificates of completion out to the students on behalf of DPS.
If a security agency does not wish to accept our state-approved training certificates because they are upset that you went to the competition instead of them, or creates false reasons why those certificates are no good in order to have you sign up and pay for their classes (or a school they recommend), then they have crossed ethical boundaries. If they are making you believe that our certificates are no good yet encourage you to sign up and pay for their class when you don’t need it, they are then walking the line of committing fraud by deception and that company needs to be reported at once.
That being said and just to clarify we’re talking about security guard training certificates that a security company being their employer must accept. If there is a security training academy that is handed you certificates that are partially signed and partially filled out and you expect us to sign their forms where they have left blank areas, no we would not accept that because we do not do business with any other training academy or have any other arrangement with any outsourced instructor.
