The Wait is Over: Immediate Forms and Certificates Delivery

Security Training Center^® today announced the implementation of immediate guard card application delivery for online courses. In a major update to the Security Training Center^® Learning Management System (LMS), students have immediate access to pre-filled guard card applications, certificates of completion, and application submission instructions. There is no additional cost for this program enhancement. The implementation applies to all existing and future online courses.

"This is a significant enhancement for our individual students as well as our corporate partners," stated Alex Haddox, M.Ed., CFO of Security Training Center.^® "Our competitors only offer certificates of completion to their online students, which is often out of compliance with state regulations," he continued. "We always offered full and pre-filled applications to our students in full regulatory compliance. However, there was a two-day delay for manual processing. That delay has been eliminated."

Online students can access their Transcripts page, 24x7, and download their forms and certificates on demand, right after completing their course. There is no waiting. There are no problems with disappearing emails. There are no problems with lost certificates. The certificates and forms are always available when desired.

"This is also a huge boon to our corporate partners," explained Mr. Haddox. "Our corporate partners have 24x7 access to their staff profiles, and with them, their certificates and forms. Managers can download copies of the certificates directly from the LMS for their training compliance records. They no longer must ask, and wait, for their staff to provide copies. That is a significant win."

With the astronomical growth experience by Security Training Center^® in 2020, the certificate and form automation system is a scalable solution. Whether there are 1,000 certificates in a month, or 100,000, Security Training Center^® can easily handle the volume.
