Security CEU

What Security CEU does

SecurityCEU is a U.S.-based online training and compliance platform focused exclusively on the security, fire, and life safety industry, founded in 2004 and operated as a brand of CMOOR Inc. (part of The CMOOR Group, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky). The company delivers self-paced continuing education, certification, and compliance content to alarm system installers, access control technicians, IP video and networking professionals, fire alarm specialists, and the manufacturers and trade associations that serve them. Its content is approved for state-specific CEU credit in 15+ U.S. states, and the PACE program provides a Level One equivalent certification approved for alarm contractor licensing in multiple jurisdictions.

The platform is built on a standard learning management system architecture with animated text, images, audio voiceovers, and interactive quizzes, and offers roughly 40+ courses and certification series across IP video, IP networking, access control, perimeter detection, wireless, troubleshooting, cyber security, fire alarm, structured wiring, codes and standards, and soft-skill/business courses. SecurityCEU monetizes through three streams: a la carte individual course purchases ($25–$225+), an annual Library Subscription providing 12-month access to the entire core catalog, and customized enterprise training programs developed for specific manufacturers, service providers, and labor organizations (e.g., Allied Universal, TELAID, IBEW Local 353, Comcast). The Obsequio product extends the offering into compliance management software.

The go-to-market model is predominantly self-serve e-commerce through catalog.securityceu.com, supplemented by a B2B enterprise sales motion targeting security manufacturers, dealers, integrators, and trade associations (PSA, TMA, WBFAA, ADI). The company has no disclosed venture funding, no public revenue or headcount figures, and operates as a privately held, bootstrapped small business.
