Florida has a large and growing security industry, and the barrier to entry is straightforward when you have the right training partner. Miami Guns has established itself as a go-to resource for individuals looking to enter the field or advance within it.
What is a Class D Security License in Florida?
The Class D Security Officer License is the foundational requirement for anyone working as an unarmed security officer in Florida. If you want to work at a venue, a retail location, a residential community, or any other site that employs private security, the D license is your starting point. It is a state-issued credential regulated by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
At Miami Guns, the Class D course is currently priced at $210, reduced from the standard $240. The course covers Florida statutes related to security work, legal authority and powers of arrest, emergency procedures, first aid basics, communication skills, and professional conduct. Upon successful completion of the course and the required state exam, you will be on your way to applying for your license.
The D license opens doors to a wide range of employment opportunities across Miami-Dade and Broward County. From hospitality and entertainment venues to hospitals, schools, and commercial properties, unarmed security officers are in consistent demand across South Florida.
What is a Class G Firearm License in Florida?
The Class G Statewide Firearm License is the credential required for any security officer who carries a firearm on the job. This is an add-on to the D license and significantly expands the employment options available to you. Armed security positions typically come with higher pay and greater responsibility, making the G license one of the most valuable credentials a security professional can hold in Florida.
Miami Guns offers the full G License course for $289, down from the standard $350. The course includes the required hours of firearm safety training, range qualification, legal use of force, and Florida statutes covering the use of deadly force. You will spend time on the indoor range at Miami Guns, which makes the shooting qualification portion of the course seamlessly integrated into the overall training experience.
If you already hold a G license and need to renew, Miami Guns offers a four-hour G Renewal course for $150, reduced from the standard $210. Keeping your license current is essential if you want to remain eligible for armed security work, and the renewal course at Miami Guns is designed to be efficient without cutting corners on the required content.
Combo Packages for Maximum Value
If you are entering the security industry for the first time and need both licenses, Miami Guns offers bundled pricing that makes the process more affordable. The D and G Combo is available for $469, down from $510. For those who also want to obtain a Concealed Weapons License at the same time, the D, G, and Concealed Carry Combo brings everything together for $479, compared to $609 if purchased separately.
That last package is particularly valuable for individuals who want to carry a firearm both professionally and personally. Completing all three certifications in one place, with one training team, keeps the process streamlined and avoids the inconvenience of coordinating multiple courses across different providers.
Concealed Carry Licensing for Civilians
You do not need to be pursuing a security career to benefit from the training programs at Miami Guns. The concealed carry course is open to any Florida resident who wants to apply for a Concealed Weapons or Firearms License. The course is currently offered for $79, down from the standard $99.
Florida’s Concealed Weapons License allows holders to carry a legally owned firearm in a concealed manner in most public places across the state, with certain exceptions. The course covers the legal framework surrounding concealed carry in Florida, safe handling and storage, and the responsibilities that come with carrying a firearm. Upon completion, you will receive the certificate required to submit your license application to the state.
One practical benefit of holding a Concealed Weapons License beyond the legal right to carry is that it eliminates the waiting period when purchasing a firearm in Florida. For customers who also shop the gun store at Miami Guns, this can be a meaningful convenience.
Why Train at Miami Guns
There are training providers scattered throughout the Miami area, but Miami Guns offers something that standalone training companies cannot: an integrated facility where your classroom instruction and live-fire qualification happen in the same building, managed by the same team. The ten-lane indoor range is outfitted for serious shooting and gives every student real, hands-on time behind a firearm in a controlled, supervised environment.
The instructors at Miami Guns bring practical knowledge to every course and are invested in seeing each student succeed. Smaller class sizes mean you get actual attention during the instruction and qualification phases, not just a seat in a crowded room where the instructor barely knows your name.
Pricing at Miami Guns is transparent and competitive. There are no hidden fees or upsells once you enroll. The discounted rates currently offered across the D license, G license, renewal, and concealed carry courses represent real savings compared to what many other providers charge in the Miami market.
