ABST Practice Test Alberta 2026 – Free Alberta Security Guard (ABST) Questions

• A. The person once visited the property with a customer.
• B. The person holds any licence issued in another province.
• C. The person simply wears clothing marked SECURITY.
• D. The owner authorizes the person to give notice not to trespass.

The Act’s definition concerns authorization by the owner to give notice not to trespass. A uniform, unrelated visit or licence alone does not supply that property-specific authorization.

• A. An available safe route under the evacuation plan.
• B. The route visitors used when they entered the building.
• C. The shortest route regardless of the smoke.
• D. The route that brings people closest to the fire for observation.

An exit must be safe in the actual conditions. A familiar or short route can become unusable, so directions must follow the evacuation plan and current hazards.

• A. Passing the complaint through the authorized process.
• B. Hiding the complaint to protect a colleague.
• C. Explaining the appropriate employer complaint channel.
• D. Recording the information received without adding facts.

The required code prohibits withholding or suppressing complaints and reports about another licensee. Professional loyalty does not justify hiding a complaint.

• A. They remove the need to identify the notebook’s owner.
• B. They allow the guard to remove pages without explanation.
• C. They make the guard’s personal opinions become evidence of guilt.
• D. They help preserve an identifiable chronological record.

An identifiable notebook and orderly entries help show continuity of the record. Numbering is not permission to remove pages or substitute opinion for fact.

• A. Mark the key returned to keep the register balanced.
• B. Give the worker another key and omit both transactions.
• C. Record and report the discrepancy through the site procedure.
• D. Wait for the next shift without telling anyone about the key.

Key-control records should show the actual issue and return status. A missing key is a discrepancy to report, not a reason to falsify the register.

• A. Explain the authorized next step without guaranteeing an outcome.
• B. Tell the witness their answers will certainly stay secret from every investigator.
• C. Ask the witness to make the story match another person’s account.
• D. Promise that the witness’s preferred person will be convicted.

A professional close thanks the witness and explains what can properly happen next. The guard cannot guarantee a court result, manufacture agreement or make an absolute confidentiality promise that conflicts with lawful reporting.

• A. Any visitor who objects to another visitor’s behaviour.
• B. An owner, lawful possessor or person authorized by either.
• C. Any employee of a neighbouring property, without authorization.
• D. Any licence holder, regardless of a connection to the property.

The property branch identifies the owner, person in lawful possession or their authorized person. It also requires finding a criminal offence on or in relation to that property and meeting the timing conditions.

• A. The employer can waive the regulation’s uniform requirements.
• B. The exemption allows any police-style uniform the worker prefers.
• C. The worker may replace required security lettering with any title.
• D. The uniform worn must still comply with the regulation.

Section 22 exempts specified classes, including loss prevention, from the general requirement to wear a uniform. If the employer requires one, section 22(2) says it must comply with section 21.

• A. Report the covered change in writing within 30 days.
• B. Wait until the current two-year licence expires.
• C. Report it only if the employer changes as well.
• D. Wait until a member of the public files a complaint.

Section 3(3) sets a 30-day written reporting period for changes covered by SSIA section 18. Do not confuse this with the 24-hour rule for a lost licence or specified arrests and charges.

• A. Other hazards and safe-work procedures still need attention.
• B. The equipment removes the need for communication or assistance.
• C. Any task is permitted even without the required training.
• D. All hazards associated with the task have been eliminated.

Protective equipment is one part of safe work. It does not remove every hazard, replace training or make the communication and assistance procedures unnecessary.
