PSARA Security Guard Training MOU: 160-Hour Curriculum, Weapons Training & Certified Centers in Pune

Mandatory Security Guard Training MOU under PSARA in Pune

One of the non-negotiable statutory pillars of the PSARA framework is mandatory guard training under Section 9(2) and Rule 5 of the Maharashtra Private Security Agencies Rules. A security agency cannot deploy untrained personnel to guard critical corporate assets, cash transit vans, or commercial premises. Every applicant agency must demonstrate in-house training infrastructure or execute an official Training MOU with an authorized Security Guard Training Institute.

The prescribed curriculum demands a minimum of 160 hours of comprehensive instruction (100 hours of classroom theory and 60 hours of field practical drills) spread over 20 working days for civilian guards, or 40 hours for ex-servicemen. Curriculum components include physical fitness, fire fighting, crowd control, frisking procedures, first aid, and basic legal rights.
