Florida Security D License Training
The Florida Class D security license requires a 40-hour state-approved training course, an application to the FDACS Division of Licensing, electronic fingerprints and a cleared background check — and our Class D training program takes you through every step with instructors who work the posts themselves. Most focused students complete training in one to two weeks, and Global Security hires from its own applicant pool. Call 239.217.0581 for the current class schedule.
