BST Testing

Currently taking BST course for JIBC.
I was wondering what the format would be for the final test.
ie...written, multiple choice etc..

Im fine with both, just anticipating.

Thanks.

^yea, apparently, they changed the course now.
BST2 is now some advanced training. Only need BST1 for LPO's.

Yeah, try landing a LPO position now or even go as far back as a year ago without your BST (1+2) and/or any previous security experience and see if you can land a LPO position straight off the bat.

If you can land one, A) you must've given them head.. B) your employer is retarded..

Ah, ok. Can someone answer a question for me?

If I had BST 1 + 2 and a FAC are there many jobs available for me in this market?

FAC...hmmm maybe Armored Car Services as well?

If you have your FAC, you might as well go right ahead to amoured vehicle services as the pay is better. However, if that's not your forte, you're welcome to apply for work at my company, we are located in the Downtown Eastside, currently seeking Door Guards and LPO. The pay is higher than average.

It's a job certainly not for the weak.

cause it's in the Downtown Eastside, you're pretty much dealing with the same demographic that VPD deals with, definitely something that most security guards are not accustom to nor willing to work in. The shit we deal with is far from an average bank security guard handles nor anything like watching concrete pavement dry for 8 hours.
