Saves $75 vs. booking separately. Armed portion: 21+.

The Academy trains everyone at 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201, in Duluth, so each session means a trip from south Cobb up to Gwinnett.
Mableton covers a lot of ground between its Austell and Smyrna edges, so two neighbors can face quite different trips. The Get Directions button opens Google Maps; change the start to your own address and check the route for the hour class begins.
Armed students should read the range qualification details on their Bookeo date. Anyone unsure about session hours can call 678-878-3152 before reserving.
The Mable House Complex on Floyd Road, operated by Cobb County, combines an arts center, an amphitheater and a historic house, with events through the year. An outdoor amphitheater crowd can test several skills at once: ticket and bag checks at the gate, keeping exits clear, and staying calm during a medical call after dark. The Unarmed course covers emergency response and includes First Aid/CPR/AED certification.
The Mableton Improvement Coalition, a volunteer community organization, cites almost 77,900 residents and tracks local zoning cases, including a proposal for a 61 unit senior apartment building. Apartment and senior living properties can call for front desk access control, visitor logs and consistent overnight rounds.
The same coalition runs the Taste of Mableton festival and keeps an HOA network for neighborhood associations. Association patrol, amenity checks and incident reports written for a board are practical security tasks. The report writing practiced in class is what lets a board, a property manager or a responding officer understand exactly what happened, and the legal authority unit helps an officer know where observation ends and police work begins.
South Cobb's newer housing also brings package rooms, shared amenities and gated entries. Skills like verifying visitors against a list, noting license plates and describing a person accurately in a report are basic but valuable, and they are the kind of habits the Unarmed course builds through its access control and report writing units.
These illustrative examples reflect settings found in Mableton and south Cobb and the skills they can require. They are not promised jobs, and finishing training does not guarantee employment. Private Eye Protection accepts applications separately.
Outdoor concert settings can call for ticket scanning, bag checks, exit watch and medical response. See event security services.
Association neighborhoods can involve marked patrols, pool and amenity checks, and written board reports.
Apartment and senior communities can require front desk access control, visitor logs and overnight rounds. See apartment community security.
Warehouses along south Cobb corridors can involve gate logs, trailer checks and perimeter patrol. See warehouse security posts.

No. Private Eye Protection Academy holds all courses in Duluth at 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201, and Mableton students travel there for every classroom session. Use the directions link with your own address entered, check the route at your real departure time, then book in Bookeo with the $100 deposit.
Not for enrollment. Any student who meets the course requirements can book, and everyone attends the same Duluth classroom. Where you live only affects your commute, so check the trip from your own street rather than relying on a neighbor's experience before you reserve a date.
Outdoor venues and association neighborhoods lean on access control, patrol, emergency response and clear reports written for a manager or board. Those topics are part of the Unarmed course. Places named here are illustrative examples, not job offers, and training does not guarantee employment.
It can help you understand what trained patrol officers learn, including observation, legal limits on authority and how a proper incident report is written. Taking the course is not a substitute for hiring licensed security, and the State of Georgia makes all licensing determinations.
Unarmed is $250, Armed is $375 and the Complete Package is $550. You pay a $100 non-refundable deposit through Bookeo and Square checkout to reserve a date. The remaining balance of $150, $275 or $450 is paid when you attend the training.
American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED certification is included in the 24-hour Unarmed course and in the 40-hour Complete Package. The 16-hour Armed course does not include it, and the Academy does not sell a separate CPR class. Certification is earned once that portion of the training is completed.
You must be 21 or older for armed training. Georgia requires armed security licensees to be at least 21, and armed registration is processed through a licensed security employer, so the course by itself does not authorize armed work. Review the requirements in each Bookeo listing before you reserve.
No. The Academy provides state-required training and issues a Certificate of Completion for successful Unarmed completion. The Armed course provides firearms training and qualification documentation used in the state process. Completion is not automatic licensure. The State of Georgia makes all licensing determinations.
