About this exam

The Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board Unarmed Guard Card Examination is for people seeking registration to work as unarmed security guards in Nevada. It assesses knowledge relevant to carrying out guard duties responsibly; passing the exam is one part of the process and does not by itself guarantee registration. Applicants should check the Nevada PILB’s current requirements, including any employer or training requirements, because application procedures can change.

Review practical security-guard topics such as post orders and daily duties, patrol routes and perimeter checks, observing and reporting suspicious activity, and access control and visitor screening. Preparation should also cover professional conduct, communication, incident documentation, and responding appropriately within a guard’s role. Candidates often benefit from studying the course material actively, then using practice questions to identify weak areas and explain why an answer is correct. Confirm current exam instructions with official Nevada PILB materials rather than relying on outdated summaries.
