What is the minimum age requirement to apply for SORA certification?

The minimum age requirement to apply for SORA certification is 18 years old. This is established to ensure that applicants have reached a level of maturity and responsibility appropriate for the role of a security officer. At 18, individuals are legally considered adults in many jurisdictions, enabling them to take on the responsibilities associated with carrying out security duties, such as understanding legal obligations, managing situations that may arise in a security context, and effectively communicating in potentially stressful environments.

Additionally, this age requirement aligns with common practices in various fields that require a level of physical and mental maturity, ensuring that those who enter the profession are capable of handling the challenges it presents.
