Firearms Training You Can Trust
Follow Florida Licensing Rules
Florida requires strict training for Class D and G licenses. In Tampa, FDACS spot-checks employers, and missing records can shut down contracts overnight. Our courses align with every state requirement—so you walk away not only trained but legally covered.
Keep Records Ready for Audits
Across Florida, compliance audits are routine. Companies lose jobs because guards can’t show proof of training. We give you certified documentation you can hand over anytime. Local firms in Hyde Park, Westshore, and Downtown Tampa trust our system to stay compliant without stress.
Show You’re Ready for the Job
Even trained police officers hit their target only 30–40% of the time in real encounters. Accuracy under stress isn’t automatic—it’s earned. Our Tampa instructors, drawn from law enforcement and military backgrounds, put you through realistic drills that prove you can act safely, decisively, and on target when it counts.
Training Made Simple for You
Easy Sign-Up and Scheduling
Life in Tampa moves fast. That’s why our courses run evenings, weekends, and even on-site for groups. Whether you’re renewing a Class G or starting your Class D license, you can enroll online in minutes and pick a schedule that fits your job and family.
Learn by Doing, Not Just Reading
Paper tests don’t prepare you for real threats. In fact, most defensive shootings happen within just a few yards, leaving no time for second chances. Our courses use live-fire, low-light, and scenario drills—so you practice the exact skills you’ll need in Tampa workplaces, parking garages, and public spaces.
Get Records You Can Use Anytime
From Avila to Westchase, employers expect security officers to show proof of training. That’s why we deliver clear, state-ready documentation after every class. Your records are digital, easy to access, and accepted by Tampa employers, insurance carriers, and FDACS auditors.
Grow Your Security Career
Training That Keeps You Safe and Legal
Florida law makes one thing clear: if you’re armed on duty, you’re liable for every round you fire. Lawsuits from negligent discharges in the U.S. have cost millions in damages. Our Class D and G courses train you to operate safely, follow the law, and protect both yourself and your employer from risk.
Certifications That Meet Top Standards
In Tampa’s growing security market, certifications are your ticket to better jobs. Completing your Class G license can move you from entry-level positions into higher-paying armed roles. Our programs follow FDACS standards to the letter, so employers know your credentials hold weight.
Skills You Can Use in Real Life
Accuracy in real-world encounters is often lower than most expect—police officers only hit their mark in 30–40% of shots fired. That’s why our training doesn’t stop at the classroom. You’ll learn to handle stress, low light, and moving targets—the skills Tampa employers value and the courts expect.
Security Training for Your Team
On-Site Safety and Compliance Help
Florida Statute 768.0706 puts a duty of care on businesses to keep staff and visitors safe. That means training isn’t optional—it’s liability protection. We bring certified security courses directly to your Tampa office, school, or facility so your team learns in the spaces they’ll need to protect.
Training That Matches OSHA Rules
Workplace safety isn’t just about slips and falls. OSHA recognizes workplace violence as a leading threat, especially in healthcare and hospitality. Our corporate security and active shooter response programs are built to match these standards, reducing risk for both employees and executives across Tampa Bay.
Custom Programs Built for Groups
From Hyde Park law firms to Westshore event venues, Tampa companies face unique security needs. We design custom training plans that fit your space, schedule, and staff size. Whether you’re preparing for large events or daily operations, we create programs that scale—without ever losing sight of Florida law and real-world application.

Training and Licensing FAQs
What You Need Before Class
For the Class D course, bring government ID and be at least 18 years old. For the Class G license, you must already hold a valid Class D. Firearms are provided for training unless you prefer to qualify with your own duty weapon.
How Renewals and Re-Qualifying Work
Florida requires annual requalification for all Class G license holders. That means live-fire training and paperwork submitted to FDACS each year. We schedule frequent requalification dates in Tampa so you don’t risk suspension or gaps in employment.
