Q: What ongoing training is required for NC security officers after initial certification?

Unarmed NC officers: No additional classroom training is required at annual renewal — only a timely renewal application submitted within 90 days of expiration.​

Armed NC officers: Must complete 4 hours of continuing education (CE) annually and requalify on the live-fire range (day and night, 50 rounds each, 80% accuracy) every year to maintain their PPSB Firearm Registration Permit.​
