Which of the following is NOT a required component on the completion certificate for security guard training?

The completion certificate for security guard training must include essential information for verification and record-keeping purposes. Among these required components, the date of training completion, the specific courses taken, and the number of training hours provided are critical because they provide a clear record of when the training occurred, what specific training the individual has undergone, and the duration of that training.

In contrast, the cost of the training course is not a mandatory component of the completion certificate. While it may be relevant information for some contexts (e.g., budgeting or comparative analysis of training programs), it does not impact the verification of the training itself. Therefore, the absence of cost information does not affect the validity or acceptance of the completion certificate in accordance with the California Private Security Services Act. This distinction highlights the focus on training credentials rather than financial details when it comes to certification documentation.
