11 Feb JIBC Basic Security Training (BST) Update – Changes Effective March 31, 2026
JIBC Basic Security Training Update
The Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) has announced important changes to the delivery of Basic Security Training (BST) in BC that will affect security training providers and students across the province.
Changes aimed at quality assurance and improved student experience
As part of a multi-year review of the BST delivery model, JIBC has confirmed that in addition to providing online Basic Security Training (BST), it will reintegrate in-person Basic Security Training back to JIBC directly.
As a result, most Approved Provider Agreements will not be renewed after March 31, 2026.

What This Means for BST Students in British Columbia?
If you are completing or planning to complete Basic Security Training (BST) in BC, here are the key updates you need to know:
1. In-person or online training will be conducted through the Justice Institute of BC in New Westminster.
JIBC has recognized the importance of maintaining partnerships with organizations that serve:
- Remote and Indigenous communities
- Public post-secondary institutions
- Large security employers training their own staff
Sting Executive Group International Inc. (SEGI.ca) has proudly partnered with the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) for over 20 years. We remain committed to continuing this long standing relationship by delivering Basic Security Training to remote and Indigenous communities, training our own personnel, and supporting our private security partners across British Columbia.
As changes unfold, we will continue to monitor updates closely and communicate any developments that impact our students.
2. No More Certificates of Completion
JIBC will no longer issue Certificates of Completion for Basic Security Training.
Instead:
- Students must download their official transcript through the MyJIBC portal
- Your MyJIBC transcript serves as proof of course completion

- Ensure you have all your documents ready to go – passport quality photo, government photo ID, proof of citizenship, confirmation of fingerprinting slip and transcript
- Upload or submit your unofficial JIBC transcript HERE
- Use it as proof that you successfully completed BST
There is no certificate required – your transcript is the official document.
