Hmmm... company specific training, I doubt they would want all and sundry knowing all their secrets, best you can do is make sure you're well rested & take a spare pen!

I am planning on getting into armored car when I hit 21 myself. I will be watching this thread with intrest.

Good luck to you.

3 days isn't much. The training is probably job specific showing you their procedures and possible shadowing the route you are taking with your future partners. I know a few who have people who have worked in the Armored Car industry and they all told me the training is nothing special.

Congratulations on getting the job.

I would have to agree, the training is probably company and client or route specific. Three days seems a little short, so I bet it will be intensive. I would be prepared for just about anything .... from classroom work to even some practical lab training.

Best of luck to you.

Its probably things like, "How to get into the truck." "How to get out of the truck." "How to cover an approach." "No, the gun ports don't work." "If anything happens, drive."

A large part of that training will be getting certified in CPR, First Aid, handgun/shotgun, (carry permit). You will be going to some classes, taking tests, passing tests. It all should be paid training, so good luck and shoot straight!!

"No, the gun ports don't work."

Wait?!?! Are you serious? So, I don't have to worry about getting shot by an armored car operator through those things when I stop an armored car for traffic violations? For some reason, they never want to open their doors and we always get in a shouting match which generally puts them in extreme risk of arrest.
