    In NYS you have to take an 8 hr course. It is generally offered by the Company you apply to. I think the cost is still about $40. There are some independant courses offered at about the same cost. A few Companies will pay for the course but most do not...Once you have your certificate it is good for any other company you choose to go to.

    Work for a security company and they will pay for it. They do FBI back ground checks and finger prints. They take it out of your first pay check it's like $80. in Washington state.
