MCAS works closely with numerous security firms to connect them to qualified candidates and these firms need employees! We offer a variety of Security Officer training programs to prepare students to pass the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) guard card exam and begin employment with a company. More than 70% of MCAS students are hired with an MCAS partner security firm before they even begin training.

MCAS has a public-private partnership to provide the highest quality instruction for students. This partnership means that many classes are held away the MCAS campus closer to Los Angeles to help students overcome barriers of transportation.
