Peachtree Corners covers the southwest corner of Gwinnett, with the Chattahoochee River on its western edge and Berkeley Lake and Norcross as neighbors. The Academy classroom at 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201, in Duluth is to the northeast, and that is where every classroom session meets.
The city is large, from Technology Park and the Town Center on Peachtree Parkway to river neighborhoods near Jones Bridge and Simpsonwood. Use the live directions from your own street at the hour you would set out.
Some Peachtree Corners residents work inside Technology Park and may head to class straight from the office. If so, run the route from your workplace rather than your home, and check it at the hour you would really leave. Plan to arrive early on the first day to find Suite 201.
City Hall and the Town Green are not class locations. Armed students will find range details on the Bookeo date they choose.
The city runs Curiosity Lab, a living laboratory inside a 500-acre technology park with a 5G-enabled, 3-mile autonomous vehicle test track where, according to the city, thousands of people and vehicles interact every day. The city describes Curiosity Lab as open free of charge to startups, Fortune 500 companies and academic researchers. Offices and test facilities like these tend to depend on badge access, visitor control and accurate logs, which are core parts of the access control unit in the Unarmed course.
The Town Center is the other hub: a 21-acre development with more than 15 restaurants, shops, offices, townhomes and a 2-plus-acre Town Green that hosts the Peachtree Corners Concert Series and Flicks on the Green. The green has a VoxStage, a 22-foot display, a splash pad, a dog park and a veterans monument, and a pedestrian bridge crosses Peachtree Parkway to the Forum. Concerts on a public lawn next to busy retail mean steady foot traffic and people crossing in and out of parking areas.
Along the river, Jones Bridge, Simpsonwood and Holcomb Bridge parks offer fishing, tubing and trails. Trailheads and boat put-ins benefit from patrol presence and from officers who know basic first aid.
The Corners Connector, the city's pedestrian and bicycle trail system, links the Town Center with surrounding areas, so foot and bike traffic flows between offices, apartments and retail all day.
The post types below reflect Peachtree Corners' mix of tech, retail and parks. They illustrate where the skills fit, not job offers, and course completion does not guarantee a job. Private Eye Protection hires through its own application.
Office and test facilities in a large technology park may use badge checks, visitor escorts and after-hours rounds.
Free concerts and movie nights on a public lawn may need crowd watch and clear paths to parking. See event security.
Restaurant and retail districts can benefit from foot patrol, lot visibility and closing checks.
The city notes its hotels; hotel posts mean lobby presence, guest assistance and incident logs. See hotel security.
Multifamily housing near the Town Center may use access control and overnight patrols. See apartment security.
Armed positions require a Georgia license, which may need age 21 and a licensed employer. See armed officers.
Unarmed builds the base. Armed adds firearms and live-fire qualification.

No. Peachtree Corners students attend class in Duluth at 3250 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Ste 201. City Hall and the Town Center are not training sites. Armed range details are on the Bookeo listing for each date, so review them before you pay the $100 deposit.
Starting near the river is different from starting near Technology Park or the Town Center. Open the live Google Maps link on this page from your address at your planned departure time. Peachtree Parkway and the Town Center area can be busy at concert times, so check the map again on event evenings.
Tech offices and test sites generally use badge control, visitor sign-in, escorts and precise logs. The Unarmed course covers access control and report writing, which apply directly. Training builds the skills; it does not place you with any company in the park.
Each Bookeo date shows its hours before you reserve. Compare them with your work schedule and the drive to Duluth. If you work in Technology Park or the Town Center and need to leave from the office, plan the route from there. For help choosing a date, call 678-878-3152 on a weekday.
Unarmed is $250, Armed is $375 and the Complete Package is $550. Every course, whichever you choose, is reserved with a $100 non-refundable deposit through secure Bookeo and Square checkout. The balance, $150, $275 or $450, is due when you attend the training.
Start with the 24-hour Unarmed course. It covers patrol and observation, emergency response, legal authority and use of force, access control and report writing, and includes American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED. If you are at least 21 and plan to work armed, the Complete Package bundles both courses and saves $75.
No. Armed training requires you to be at least 21, the same minimum Georgia sets for armed security licensees. Armed registration is handled through a licensed security employer, so the course alone does not authorize armed work. Read the requirements on each Bookeo listing before you reserve.
No. The Academy provides state-required training and issues a Certificate of Completion for successful Unarmed completion, and the Armed course provides firearms training and qualification documentation that you use in the state process. Completion is not an automatic license. The State of Georgia makes all licensing determinations.
