Loganville is grouped with Gwinnett on this site because part of the city lies there, but most of Loganville is actually in western Walton County. Schools follow that split: the Walton portion is in the Walton County School District and the Gwinnett portion in Gwinnett County Public Schools. For training, the county line does not matter. Every student goes to 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201, in Duluth.
From the east edge of the metro, the trip to Duluth is one of the longer ones on this list of training cities, and it varies a lot with the hour. Check the live directions from your address at your real departure time before you pay a deposit.
Because Loganville sits where U.S. 78 and SR 20 meet, the map may send you north through Grayson and Lawrenceville or west on 78 depending on conditions. The right answer can change from one class morning to the next, so look at the live route each day rather than memorizing a single path.
Loganville City Hall on Lawrenceville Road is not a classroom. Armed students will find range details on their Bookeo date.
Loganville's Events and Marketing department runs a full calendar centered on the Town Green at 235 Main Street. Groovin' on the Green fills the lawn at 7:30 p.m. on the third Friday from May through September, and beer and wine are permitted. Autumnfest, held on the third Saturday in October, brings more than 175 vendors and thousands of visitors to Main Street. Events with alcohol, vendors and evening crowds need people who can spot trouble early, de-escalate and document incidents, skills covered in the Unarmed course.
The city also hosts two Masters Car Shows downtown, including a Back the Blue show benefiting the Loganville Police Department, and a Public Safety Night with local fire and law enforcement equipment on display. An Independence Celebration with Walton County at West Walton Park ends in fireworks. Car shows and fireworks nights mean parking fields, pedestrian crossings and a crowd leaving all at once.
Rental halls add another layer. The Historic Rock Gym seats up to 250, the Ag Building and Anna Holbrook Building host smaller events, and the covered Town Green pavilion is also rentable. Private events in public buildings often call for door checks and someone to close up.
Loganville describes its Events and Marketing work as an effort to make the city a destination for visitors, which means more weekends with crowds downtown and more need for people who can manage them calmly.
These roles reflect settings found in Loganville and nearby. They are illustrations, not job offers, and completing a course does not guarantee employment. Private Eye Protection hires through its own application.
Outdoor concert series where alcohol is allowed may need entry posts, crowd watch and calm de-escalation. See event security.
A fall festival with 175-plus vendors can call for booth-row patrol, lost-child response and first aid.
Rental halls hosting private parties may use door staff, guest-count checks and end-of-night lockups.
Shopping centers on the Atlanta Highway corridor may use patrols, loss reporting and lot visibility.
Subdivisions on both sides of the county line may use patrols and visitor logs. See residential security.
Armed work requires a Georgia license, which may need age 21 and a licensed employer. See armed security.
Unarmed builds the base. Armed adds firearms and live-fire qualification.
Georgia Board rules set a 24-hour minimum for basic training.

Yes. Most of Loganville is in Walton County and part is in Gwinnett, and either is fine. All students attend class at 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201, in Duluth, with the same prices and the same $100 deposit. Use the directions link from your own address.
Loganville is on the east side of the metro and the trip varies with the hour. Open the Google Maps link from your home at the time you would leave, and call 678-878-3152 to confirm session hours before booking. Expect the map to choose between U.S. 78 and SR 20 depending on conditions.
Loganville runs summer concerts with beer and wine on the Town Green, a large fall festival, car shows and a fireworks celebration, plus rentable event halls. Those use entry, crowd, parking and door posts. The course builds the skills; it does not give you a job at any city event.
Not from the county. You reserve directly through Bookeo with the $100 deposit. Check the course listing for its requirements. Remember that the Academy provides training only, and completion is not an automatic license. The State of Georgia makes all licensing determinations, so plan for that process after class whichever county you live in.
The 24-hour Unarmed course costs $250, the 16-hour Armed course $375 and the 40-hour Complete Package $550. You hold your date with a $100 non-refundable deposit through Bookeo and Square, then pay the remaining $150, $275 or $450 when you attend the training.
Unarmed (24 hours) is the usual first step and includes American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED. Armed (16 hours) focuses on firearms safety, Georgia firearms law and live-fire qualification, with no CPR. Complete (40 hours, $550) combines both with First Aid/CPR/AED and costs $75 less than buying them separately.
You must be at least 21 for armed training. Georgia's Board requires armed security licensees to be 21 or older, and armed registration runs through a licensed security employer, so the course alone does not let you work armed. Check each course listing in Bookeo for its requirements before you reserve.
Not automatically. The Academy provides state-required training. Successful Unarmed completion earns a Certificate of Completion, and the Armed course provides firearms training and qualification documentation for the state process. Completion is not an automatic license. The State of Georgia makes all licensing determinations.
