No Academy class meets in Hapeville. The classroom is at 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201, in Duluth, in Gwinnett County. City Hall is on North Fulton Avenue, and no city building hosts Academy sessions.
Hapeville is compact enough that the city publishes a golf cart map for local streets, but that map ends at the city limits. For class you need a highway route north. Open the directions link on this page, switch the origin to your own address and check the trip at the hour you would actually leave. Hapeville sits beside major interstate and airport traffic, so look at the specific morning, not a general estimate.
If you plan to leave for class straight from a job near the airport, map the route from the workplace instead of from home, since the starting point changes the trip.
Armed students should read each Bookeo listing for range details, because range qualification is separate from the Duluth classroom. If session hours decide whether the trip works, call 678-878-3152 before paying the deposit.
According to the Hapeville Depot Museum, the town grew after Samuel Hape bought 500 acres in the 1860s along the Atlanta & Macon railroad for an orchard and nursery business. A flag stop opened in 1875, and the depot handled passenger and freight trains for close to a century. In the 1910s the old Candler Speedway land began serving barnstormers and air mail pilots, the start of the aviation activity that defines the area.
The museum also documents Ford's Atlanta Assembly Plant, opened in Hapeville in 1947. Today Porsche describes One Porsche Drive, its North American headquarters and Experience Center, as located in the cities of Atlanta and Hapeville with part of the track in Clayton County. The complex includes two driving tracks, a heritage gallery, a technical training center and a restaurant. Corporate campuses that host visitors and valuable vehicles involve reception posts, credential checks and patrols.
Downtown Hapeville keeps a busy local calendar, with live music, book signings, comedy shows, an independent film series and a holiday tree lighting. Next door on Delta's campus, the Delta Flight Museum hosts events in historic 1940s hangars. Event nights in small downtowns and hangar venues both depend on officers who handle door control, crowd questions and incident notes without fuss.
These settings near Hapeville illustrate the skills security officers use. Venues are named for context only and are not job offers.

No. Academy courses meet in Duluth at 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201, and Hapeville students travel there for each session. Range qualification for the Armed course is listed on each Bookeo date and is not at the classroom. The directions link on this page opens a route you can set to your Hapeville address.
Corporate campuses such as One Porsche Drive, event venues like the Delta Flight Museum hangars, downtown Hapeville event nights, airport-area hotels and freight sites all illustrate patrol, access control and reporting skills. Naming them describes the area, not a job offer, and training does not guarantee employment.
Golf cart routes are for local streets inside Hapeville and do not help with a trip to Gwinnett. Use the Google Maps link to compare driving and transit from your address for the time you would leave, and confirm every connection before relying on it for a class morning.
No. The Academy provides state-required training, and the Armed course provides qualification documentation for the state process. Employers have their own hiring steps. The State of Georgia makes all licensing determinations, and completing a course does not issue a license automatically.
Reserve any course with a $100 non-refundable deposit through Bookeo and secure Square checkout. The rest is due when you attend: $150 for the $250 Unarmed course, $275 for the $375 Armed course or $450 for the $550 Complete Package.
If you are new to security, begin with the 24-hour Unarmed course: patrol, emergency response, legal authority, access control, report writing and American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED. If you are 21 or older and want armed work, the 40-hour Complete Package bundles both courses for $75 less than buying them separately.
Armed training is for students 21 and older. Georgia's Board sets 21 as the minimum age for armed security licensees, and armed registration runs through a licensed security employer, so the course alone does not authorize armed work. Each Bookeo listing shows its requirements.
Successful Unarmed students receive a Certificate of Completion, and Armed students receive firearms training and qualification documentation to use in the state process. Neither one is a license, and employers run their own hiring. The State of Georgia makes all licensing determinations, so completion does not automatically license you.
