Question from JC E.
I'd like to know if you already have fingerprint and A PERC card can I still get a certificate license with my name on it? Do I need to use your PERC card? Can I bring my own PERC card?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi JC! The Security Instructor said the fingerprints depend on where this person had them done. The PERC card and certificate are both through the state. The prospective student would have to register for the 20 Hour Unarmed Security class and the Instructor would take a look at everything before he can give accurate answers.
