Online Security Guard Training for Colorado Licensing
The Pilum Online Academy is the on-demand training division of Pilum Defense Agency. It gives new and working security officers a self-paced way to complete the classroom training required for city guard licensing in Colorado, plus professional development courses that sharpen skills on post.
Courses are hosted and delivered through pilumtactical.com, the dedicated platform for Pilum's online certifications.
How Security Guard Licensing Works in Colorado
Colorado has no statewide security guard license. Licensing is handled at the city level, and each jurisdiction sets its own training hours, background checks, and renewal cycle. A guard working in Denver meets different requirements than one working in Colorado Springs or Pueblo.
The Online Academy is organized around that reality. Each certification course maps to a specific city’s requirements, so you complete the training that applies to where you’ll actually work.
Licensing rules change. Confirm current requirements with your city’s licensing authority before you enroll.
Who the Online Academy Is For
- New officers completing required training before applying for a first guard license
- Licensed officers finishing renewal training on time without missing shifts
- Security employers who need a consistent, documented training source for new hires
- Officers moving between cities who need the training specific to a new jurisdiction

Built by Operators, Not Course Publishers
Pilum is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business founded by Marine Corps and Navy SEAL combat veterans. The firm runs armed security, executive protection, and school security operations across Colorado, Florida, and New York.
The Online Academy curriculum comes from that operational work. Report writing, observation, de-escalation, and threat recognition are taught the way Pilum expects its own officers to perform them on post.

How long do the courses take?
It depends on the course. The Pueblo certification is 16 hours, and the Safety Awareness & Threat Management course is 4 hours. Because courses are self-paced, you can complete them across several sessions.
