NSI UAE is a private security training institute that provides various security training programs for different security guard ranks. These programs include basic, refresher courses and specialized training fitted for security guards, supervisors, and managers. The NSI course fee varies depending on the type of training, and you should pay the fee before enrollment.

NSI collaborates with the PSBD (Private Security Business Department) in the northern Emirates and the PSFRD (Private Security Firm Regulatory Department) in Abu Dhabi.

Security guards must complete specific training at NSI or another licensed security training institute before obtaining their license from PSBD or PSFRD to work in Abu Dhabi or the Northern Emirates.

Individuals cannot perform security duties without a valid security guard license, and companies cannot provide security services in the United Arab Emirates without proper licensing.

NSI is responsible for training newly hired security guards and provides refresher training to current security personnel every two years.

If you are planning to come to the UAE as a security guard or are looking for a security guard job in the UAE, it is essential to know what you will study in the BSG (Basic Security Guard) training.
