TO BE A SECURITY GUARD TRAINING INSTRUCTOR YOU MUST BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF PRIVATE DETECTIVES AND GUARDS AND USE A BOARD APPROVED TRAINING PROGRAM.
The Transcend Inc. Security Guard courses are the premier licensing programs in the State of Hawaii.
Our founder Jeff Owens CTM, CSP created our State of Hawaii Board of Private Detectives and Guards (Board) approved Initial Security Guard Instruction (ISGI) course to obtain the GDE license. Our course is widely acknowledged as the leading program to meet the initial guard card license training requirements.
He is also the author of the Board approved Security Guard Continuing Education (SGCE) courses for GDE license renewal, which became the standard used by the Board of Private Detectives and Guards for the 2018-2021, 2021-2024, and the current 2024-2027 triennial renewal class. We offer a very favorable and affordable license program (low initial License Fee and Student Admin fees) that allows for both in-house and 3rd party training that is transportable with the approved Instructor.
To license a Transcend Inc. Board Approved Program
You must have received your Letter of Approval to be a Security Guard Training Instructor from the Board of Private Detectives and Guards. The application forms with instructions are in our Helpful Information/FAQ section under DCCA forms. Or, you can use the following links:

Once you have received approval from the Board, you can contact us to discuss approval to be licensed by us, the fees and business agreement. If we enter into a business agreement and after payment of the initial License Fee, we’ll schedule a training materials orientation and a review of your ability to present the course materials effectively.
Approved Instructors will receive:
- A Comprehensive Instructors Manual of the Board Approved Instructional Program.
-
- This is a turnkey program – not videos and outlines from which you have to create your own lesson plans (which would then need to be submitted for approved by the Board)
- Visual Aids (PowerPoint deck).
- Instructional Material Orientation session(s) (as many as you need to be comfortable with the material).
- Needed Forms.
- Test Material and Answer Sheets (Not all courses require testing).
- Access to our exclusive Instructors On-Line Portal for Certificate creation

- Assistance in qualifying to conduct online classes.
- Ongoing support; we don’t just sell you a program, we’re here to help you succeed.
Please be aware that not all Instructors may qualify to license our program. While we respect the knowledge and skill of all Instructors, we require those to whom we license our programs to have demonstrable presentation and classroom management skills.
