Common Security Training Questions

Choosing the right security school is an important step. These answers help future students and organizations understand courses, enrollment, and career paths before getting started.

Which course should I take first?

For most students, the Florida Class D (Unarmed) Security License Course is the right starting point. It builds the legal, professional, and operational foundation every security officer needs. Once you hold your Class D license and want to pursue armed assignments, you can advance to the Florida Class G (Armed) Security Course.

Our training is practical and mission-focused. You will study legal responsibility, professionalism, communication, observation, reporting, emergency response, and real-world security procedures. The goal is not just to pass a licensing requirement, but to prepare you to think clearly, act lawfully, and perform confidently in the field.

Start on our Admissions & Enrollment page or contact our team. We will walk you through course dates, required documents, tuition and payment, and what to expect on your first day. Individuals, current officers seeking advancement, and businesses enrolling multiple employees are all welcome.

You will typically need a valid government-issued photo ID and any documents noted during enrollment, along with something to take notes. Specific requirements for your course are provided when you register, and our Student Resources page lists forms and class-preparation guidance.
