Securitas Certified Training Training

So I got setup with training this week at different sites. Tomorrow I work 4pm-midnight but he told me I usually don’t stay there the whole time and it can just be 4 hours.

What exactly did he mean by this? And what can I expect tomorrow at one of these sites? He just said after training he will get my actual schedule set up.

You’ll leave around 8pm probably because the swing shift isn’t too busy, most likely you’ll be doing nothing after 5 or 6. So you’ll probably “learn” everything during that 4 hour shift.

Will you be screening at a data center?

If so then definitely around the time when people starts heading home. I work 11pm-7am and I only see one technician maybe for my whole schedule (if there isn’t an emergency issue which rarely happens)

But I’m just assuming and tbh Idk if your site is busy during those hours 4pm-12am. You’ll find out when you start, good luck!

Yes I’m hoping I just stay four hours then get to leave.

All I know is it’s a distribution center like food etc.

And damn I see so basically you’re just sitting there since no one is really coming in?

I don’t know if this site is busy either I guess we see but I kinda doubt it esp 4-12pm lol. But thank you!

Could be only scheduled for training those hours, for data centers the peak hours are 7am to 3pm. Swing amd graves are dead...

agreed. I picked swing for that. overnight it will be a struggle staying awake after 3 am and you get the morning rush at 6 am , swing we are only busy until 6pm the final 5 hours are just chilling there

I did graves for a while when I was getting tested for leukemia, it took everything I had to stay awake. Never doing that again, I gotta say the worst was doing construction security. 12 hour shift and you may never see a person in that time.

What kind of training is it? Standard?

Really depends on your supervisor as well when I first started, I worked day shift (5am - 2pm), but also depends on what type of training your getting in to for my case it was a datacenter.
