Advanced Security Training FAQ:

What is the process if you fail the AST exam?
  1. The process for AST rewrites is that the student emails AST@jibc.ca to request the rewrite (the first attempt is covered in the registration price – if you fail or no-show the first exam, you will have to pay for the 2nd attempt).
  2. JIBC will reply to that email with the phone number to call Finance and at the same time let Finance know to accept the payment. Students will not be able to pay for the rewrite until the first email AST@jibc.ca has been received and replied to and Registration will not be able to assist with AST rewrites.
How to print your AST Certificate?
You login where you wrote the exam and go to the “Final exam” then download the certificate. It may take a few days after you pass the exam for your certificate to be processed. You require a copy of your AST certificate to upgrade your security licence. You have 30 days to download. Make sure to save a copy.
How to update your security licence with AST?
Go to the Security Programs website and update your licence. You will need your security licence num and access code to do this online. If you have any questions contact Security Programs 1-855-587-0185 press 11.  It is $20 to make the change and upload your AST Cert.
