Palmdale students looking for a Guard Card class can start with CPS online. As an Antelope Valley-based company, CPS understands the value of a clear local connection while providing training that reaches applicants across California.
PALMDALE / A BETTER START
Local roots, statewide online access
Palmdale applicants may be building a career around aerospace, manufacturing, construction, property, retail, or community work. CPS is based in the Antelope Valley, but this training is not limited to Palmdale or Lancaster. The course is online for students statewide, so the local connection does not become a misleading classroom claim.
CPS is based in Lancaster, can provide security services in Palmdale around project needs, and can support local relationships there. The Guard Card course is offered online throughout California; this page does not claim a physical classroom or office in Palmdale.
