SCHOOL SAFETY & GUARDIAN PROGRAMS
Guardian Training Built Around the Standard, Not Around the Clock
Florida's Guardian program requires 144 hours of training and an 85 percent firearms qualification standard. Security companies staffing Guardians are losing money on candidates who fail, and losing contracts on candidates who pass but cannot perform. Direct Action Training was built to fix both ends of that problem.
THE PROBLEM WE WERE ASKED TO SOLVE
Security firms placing Guardians into schools carry the cost of every failed qualification, every remediation cycle, and every candidate who washes out after the company has already invested in them. Meanwhile districts carry the risk of a Guardian who holds a certificate but has never been evaluated under stress. The training standard is a floor. It is not a guarantee of competency.

SCHOOL SAFETY & GUARDIAN PROGRAMS
BUILT FOR THE COMPANIES DOING THE STAFFING
FEWER FAILURES
Candidates are assessed before they consume a full training cycle, so the ones who will not make it are identified early.
DOCUMENTED COMPETENCY
Every Guardian is evaluated against a defined standard, with deficiencies identified, corrected and retested — and the record to prove it.
ONGOING PROFICIENCY
Annual recertification and in-service so a Guardian's capability does not decay between qualification dates.
