Our Learnership Program

We are involved in a Learnership Program, whereby we go into rural areas and give matriculants the opportunity to become involved in the security industry. We offer them the opportunity to further themselves by empowering them with employment. We give them training and offer them housing as we are involved in a housing project scheme.

Our main focus as an accredited security training college is to draw a fresh pool of security personnel to the industry.With changes in legislation in October 2009 Maxi Security has registered with SASSETA, and our accreditation number is 061905002446. We have already completed 150 learnerships and we are in the process of converting our existing guards to the new SASSETA standards.
