The exam

What the Manitoba security guard exam involves

To work as a security guard in Manitoba you must complete the mandatory 40-hour Manitoba Security Guard Training Program, delivered by an approved training provider, and pass the final provincial licensing exam set by the Registrar. The questions in this app are built from the program's official Participant's Manual published by Manitoba Justice.

What is the pass mark for the Manitoba security guard exam?

You must score 75% or higher to pass. This is set in Manitoba law: the Private Investigators and Security Guards Regulation (164/2010) requires a grade of 75% or higher on the examination established by the Registrar.

  • Pass mark: 75% or higher (official, Manitoba Regulation 164/2010)
  • Format: multiple-choice
  • Delivery: hosted online by E-proctor

How many questions are on the Manitoba security guard exam, and how long is it?

Manitoba Justice and the Registrar do not publish the number of questions on the final exam or a time limit. The officially confirmed facts are that the exam is online, e-proctored, and requires 75% to pass. Our practice mock uses a timed 60-question set so you can rehearse, but treat that as practice, not the official exam length.

  • Official question count: not published by Manitoba
  • Official time limit: not published by Manitoba
  • Exam fee: $30, paid to E-proctor when you schedule

How many times can I take the Manitoba security guard exam?

You have three opportunities to pass the final exam. If you do not pass within those three attempts, you must repeat the full 40-hour training course before you can test again. There is a zero-tolerance policy for any breach of the exam conditions, which protects the integrity of the exam.

  • Attempts: 3, then repeat the full 40-hour course
  • Integrity: zero-tolerance policy for breaching exam conditions

What topics are on the Manitoba security guard exam?

The training and exam follow the 10 modules of the official Participant's Manual:

  • General duties & responsibilities
  • Professionalism
  • You and the law
  • Patrolling
  • Writing notes & reports
  • Bomb threats
  • Access control & alarm systems
  • Traffic control
  • Fire
  • Working safely (WHMIS & the Workplace Safety and Health Act)

How do I get and renew a Manitoba security guard licence?

All security guards in Manitoba must be licensed under the Private Investigators and Security Guards Act, complete the mandatory 40-hour training, and pass the provincial exam. Check your licence and the Manitoba Justice private investigators and security guards program for current requirements and your renewal date before it expires.
