Take the next step in your security career with the Florida Class G (Armed Security Officer) license course. This 28-hour state-mandated program provides the firearms safety, marksmanship, legal, and practical training required to apply for the Class G license through the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (FDACS). Taught by a licensed class "K" instructor, the course combines classroom instruction with live-fire qualification at the range.

Florida firearms law, liability, and security officer responsibilities.

Safe handling, storage, and transport of firearms.

Fundamentals of marksmanship: stance, grip, sight alignment, trigger control.

Malfunction clearing, reloading, and weapon retention basics.

Required range qualification course with handgun (minimum 70% accuracy required by FDACS).

Use-of-force decision-making and the ethical/legal considerations of armed security work.

• Course length: 28 hours (minimum), including classroom and range components.
• Certificate: Upon successful completion and passing qualification, you’ll receive the training certificate required to apply for the FDACS Class G license.
• Annual refresher: Florida requires 4 hours of requalification training each year to maintain the Class G license.

• Licensed Class D security officers ready to advance to armed roles.
• Security professionals seeking employment in higher-paying, armed positions (bank security, armored car, high-value asset protection).
• Individuals needing state-recognized firearms certification for licensed security work.

• Must be 21 years or older.
• Must already hold a valid Class D license or be applying for it concurrently.
• Must be legally eligible to possess firearms under state and federal law.
• Bring a valid photo ID. FDACS requires fingerprints and a background check as part of the licensing process (completed separately from this course).

• Duration: 28 hours
• Format: Combination of classroom and live-fire range instruction.
• Equipment: Will be discusses after sigining up.

• Successful completion of this course does not automatically issue the license — you must still apply to FDACS with your certificate, fingerprints, and fees.
• Class G is a serious professional credential; students are expected to uphold the highest standards of safety, responsibility, and ethical conduct.
• Ongoing training and practice are strongly recommended beyond the state minimum.
