Questions Students Ask -
Questions from prospective students with correct answers from S.A.N.Y.:
Q1. How much will it cost to get my security license from Albany?
Ans. $142.00. This price includes your electronic finger prints.
Q2. Can I apply for my security license before I get my security training certification?
Ans. No you can't. The legal process will not allow this procedure.
Q3. After I apply, how long before I get my license?
Ans. Depends on the work load in Albany.
Q4. Why is your package only $75?
Ans. It's a fair price for the economy that we are presently in and for unemployed individuals.
Q5. How can I verify that you and your school is legal?
Ans. Call us at 646 942 1457 and ask for our school code, name of company and instructor(s)name. We will also give you the number for Albany so you can varify everything.
Q6. Can your company guarantee me a security job like some other schools do?
Ans. No we can't. It's insane to believe that you can be hired over the phone. We garantee interviews. Getting the job is up to you and how you present yourself. Instructor(s) are well linked to security companies.
Q7. How much will I have to pay to take the training classes the second time around, if I failed the first time?
Ans. That question is for another school. We will not charge you the second time around, because there will not be a second time around. It may please you to know, that after several years in the security industry, we are yet to experience such a dreadful event. No one has ever failed any of our exams. Our instructors are highly trained with years of experience.
Q8. What is the starting salary for a security guard?
Ans. There is no starting salary. Your salary will be based on your location. Each location/client will pay your security company based on a contract. You will also be paid based on that contract. Some clients pay extremely well and some don't.
Q9. Is $75. a downpayment or the final price?
Ans. It's the final price. $75 is all you pay. Nothing more.
Q10. I have friends with the required training and license but cannot find a job...why?
Ans. One or more of the following reasons will be responsible for this:
A) laziness. B) waiting for a "good" paying job. C) waiting for a job close to home. D) not willing to work certain schedules. E) not willing to work at certain sites. F) not able to work weekends. G) going to interviews not properly dressed or reaching late. H) many other reasons.
Q11. I am willing to pay you to find me a job. I can pay up to $400. What will it cost?
Ans. You can pay the $400. to another school and prepare yourself to be very frustrated,unemployed and broke. Job guarantee over the phone to 50 persons on a daily basis is not something we at S.A.N.Y. will promote. It's not possible to find jobs for hundreds of people on a weekly basis. We will guarantee you interviews, the rest is up to you.
Q12. Is the fire guard license needed to become a security officer or to get a higher salary.
Ans. No, that's not totally true. However, as an employer myself...I highly recommend everyone get a fire guard license. I will explain why during your training.
