NYS Unarmed Guard Classes In order to work as an unarmed guard in New York State, you will need to take an approved NYS Eight (8) hour course. We conduct this course both during the week and on weekends. Once you have the unarmed guard license you will need to take an Eight Hour Annual In-Service Training Course for unarmed Guards each year. The 16 hour “On the Job” class is usually taken after you become employed at the direction of your employer – but it can also be taken before you become employed.
