Can a guard-card applicant who only speaks Spanish obtain a guard card?

For a guard-card applicant who only speaks Spanish, obtaining a guard card is indeed possible with the assistance of a translator. Regulations do not explicitly require applicants to be fluent in English, recognizing that individuals who speak other languages can fulfill the necessary requirements. The involvement of a translator would enable the applicant to understand the training materials and examinations required for the guard card.

This approach also aligns with the overarching goal of inclusivity within the private security sector, ensuring that individuals are not excluded based solely on their language capabilities, provided that they can adequately communicate and understand safety protocols and legal guidelines with the help of a translator.

The other options do not accurately reflect the pathways available for non-English speaking applicants. Requiring proficiency in English would unjustifiably limit opportunities for those who can effectively perform their duties in security roles through other means of communication. Additional training and Spanish classes may be beneficial, but they are not strict prerequisites for obtaining a guard card when a translator is available.
