Illinois Statutes Chapter 225. Professions,Occupations and Business Operations § 447/30-20. Training; locksmith and employees

(a) Registered employees of a licensed locksmith agency shall complete a minimum of 20 hours of training provided by a qualified instructor within 30 days of their employment. The substance of the training shall be prescribed by rule.

(b) It is the responsibility of the employer to certify, on a form provided by the Department, that the employee has successfully completed the training. The form shall be a permanent record of training completed by the employee and shall be placed in the employee's file with the employer for the period the employee remains with the employer. An agency may place a copy of the Department form in lieu of the original into the permanent employee registration card file. The original form or a copy shall be given to the employee when the employee's employment is terminated. Failure to return the original form or a copy to the employee is grounds for disciplinary action. The employee shall not be required to repeat the required training once the employee has been issued the form. An employer may provide or require additional training.

(c) Any certification of completion of the 20-hour basic training issued under the Private Detective, Private Alarm, Private Security and Locksmith Act of 1993 or any prior Act shall be accepted as proof of training under this Act.
