Classes are not held anywhere in Chattahoochee Hills. The Academy meets at 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201, in Duluth, which is in Gwinnett County. Check the route from your own road before you pay anything.
The city is built from historic crossroad communities, Rivertown, Rico, County Line/Redwine, Goodes and Friendship, plus newer places such as the Crossroads and Cedar Grove communities, Rico Lake and Serenbe. Your starting point among them changes which road reaches a highway first. Open the directions link, replace the general Chattahoochee Hills origin with your own road, and check the route at the hour you would leave on a class morning.
Armed course students should know that range qualification is not at the Duluth classroom. Each Bookeo date lists its own range details. If timing is a worry, call 678-878-3152 and ask for the session hours on the date you are considering before the deposit goes through.
Chattahoochee Hills incorporated on June 19, 2007, after a year-long referendum effort led by residents, and the city's site still calls it a place of intention. Much of it is open land, with logging activity notices and a barn quilt trail on the city pages. Security work here looks different from a downtown post: properties are spread out, buildings sit far apart and an officer may patrol alone, so observation, radio discipline and written reports matter even more.
Serenbe, a New Urbanism village with entrances on Hutcheson Ferry Road and Atlanta Newnan Road, has three hamlets: Selborne for visual and culinary arts, Grange with an agricultural theme and Madoa focused on health and healing. Serenbe's site lists an inn, restaurants, weddings, conferences and retreats, and annual events such as a fall trail race and a holiday market. Settings like that involve guest arrivals, event perimeters and overnight property checks.
Under its business section the city also handles film production and special event permits and promotes a Camera Ready City listing. Film sets, private events and rural venues can bring in security to watch equipment, closed areas and visitor access. The 24-hour Unarmed course teaches the patrol, access control and reporting skills those assignments call for.
Posts around Chattahoochee Hills lean toward property, event and site work rather than office towers. The examples below describe settings and the skills they draw on, not job offers.
Rural venues and village inns host weddings and retreats that need parking direction, guest list checks and a calm presence. See event security services.
Productions permitted through the city can use officers to guard equipment, staging areas and closed sections overnight.
Wide parcels and farm properties call for vehicle patrols, gate checks and detailed logs of anything out of place.
Guest lodging and restaurants in a walkable hamlet need low-key visibility and careful incident notes. See hotel security services.
Hamlets and neighborhoods with shared amenities use patrols, amenity checks and visitor management. See apartment security services.
Remote sites sometimes request armed officers. Georgia armed licensees must be 21 or older and register through a licensed employer. See armed security officers.
Unarmed builds the base. Armed adds firearms and live-fire qualification.
Georgia Board rules set a 24-hour minimum for basic training.

No. The Academy has a single classroom, in Duluth at 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201. Students from Rico, Rivertown, Serenbe and every other part of Chatt Hills come there for class. Armed range details appear on each Bookeo date rather than at the classroom address, so read the listing before you pay the $100 deposit.
Open the Google Maps link on this page and change the origin from the city name to your exact road, since the crossroad communities sit well apart. Check the route at the hour you would actually leave for class. Timing shifts with your starting point and the day, so a live check beats any single number.
The area includes a village inn and restaurants, wedding and retreat venues, film and special event permits, planned communities and large rural properties. Those settings can involve patrol, access control and event posts. This describes the type of work, not current openings, and training does not guarantee employment.
Start with the 24-hour Unarmed course. It covers patrol, emergency response, legal authority, access control and report writing, plus American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED, which matters when backup may be some distance away. If you are 21 or older and want armed work later, the 40-hour Complete Package combines both courses for $550.
The 24-hour Unarmed course is $250, the 16-hour Armed course is $375 and the 40-hour Complete Package is $550. You pay a $100 non-refundable deposit when you book in Bookeo, with Square handling checkout, and the remaining $150, $275 or $450 when you attend.
The 24-hour Unarmed course is the usual first step. It teaches patrol, emergency response, legal authority, access control and report writing, and includes American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED. Students 21 or older who plan on armed work can choose the 40-hour Complete Package, which saves $75 compared with booking both courses separately.
Yes, 21. Georgia's Board requires armed security licensees to be at least 21, and armed registration goes through a licensed security employer, so finishing the course does not by itself allow you to work armed. Read the requirements on the Bookeo listing for your course before reserving.
No. The Academy delivers state-required training. Successful Unarmed students receive a Certificate of Completion, and the Armed course provides firearms training and qualification documentation used in the state process. The State of Georgia makes all licensing determinations, so completion is not an automatic license.
