Part 2 classes at the Culver City classroom are taught by Paul Fields, lead instructor at World Academia.
Paul spent 33 years with the United States government: twenty years in the U.S. Armed Forces and seven as a federal agent with the Departments of Justice and, after 9/11, Homeland Security. He then spent six years in Iraq and Afghanistan as an advisor under contract to the Departments of State, Defense and Homeland Security.
He has since worked in security services as a site supervisor, close protection operative and corporate security investigator, and works throughout Los Angeles as a private investigator when he is not teaching.

No. We are a BSIS licensed training provider, not the licensing agency. We issue a certificate with a CERT number when you complete your training. You then complete Live Scan fingerprinting and submit your application to BSIS. BSIS processes and approves guard card applications, and we cannot guarantee approval.
