Class G training
in Hialeah
Security guard G license training, right where you already are. Our indoor live-fire range is in Hialeah — Florida Gun Center on West 38th Place, straight off the Palmetto. If you work security anywhere in the northwest county, this is the closest your requalification is going to get.
Alpha One's indoor live-fire training runs at Florida Gun Center, 1770 W 38th Pl, Hialeah, FL 33012 — off the Palmetto Expressway, easy to reach from Hialeah Gardens, Miami Lakes, Medley, and Opa-locka.
Class G licensing, annual requalification, and civilian courses, taught in English and Spanish by a Florida Class K licensed instructor.
Entrenamiento en español
Let us be direct about why this page exists. Hialeah is one of the most Spanish-speaking cities in the United States, and a large share of the security officers working in and around it would rather be taught in Spanish — particularly the legal block, where the difference between understanding and approximately understanding is the difference between a defensible decision and an indefensible one.
Frank teaches in both languages. Not a translated handout, not an interpreter — the actual instruction. Tell us which you prefer when you book. Vea esta página en español →
The range
Florida Gun Center, 1770 W 38th Pl, Hialeah, FL 33012. Indoor, climate-controlled, and positioned right off the Palmetto for anyone coming from Hialeah Gardens, Miami Lakes, Medley, Opa-locka, or the industrial corridor along Okeechobee Road.
Indoor matters more here than people expect. South Florida summer afternoons regularly shut down outdoor training, and an indoor bay means your requalification does not get pushed to the following week because of a thunderstorm — which, if your qualification is about to lapse, is not a minor inconvenience.
Who we train in Hialeah
The northwest corner of Miami-Dade is warehouse, distribution, and industrial territory, and the armed posts follow. Officers we requalify out of the Hialeah range typically work:
- Warehouse and distribution facilities along the Okeechobee Road and Palmetto corridors
- Retail and commercial centres across Hialeah and Hialeah Gardens
- Medical facilities and clinics
- Residential and gated community posts
- Contract posts for Class B agencies operating countywide
What we run here
- Annual Class G requalification — four hours and a 48-round qualification, required every 12 months.
- Class G licensing — the 28-hour statewide firearm course.
- Florida Complete Carry — for residents, not just officers.
- Pistol Levels 2–5 — the defensive ladder.
Classroom and simulator work runs at our Miami training facility; live fire happens here.
Hialeah-area agencies
If you run a Class B agency with officers concentrated in the northwest county, the Hialeah range is usually the efficient place to cycle your roster through requalification — short drives, indoor reliability, and split groups so you are not pulling every armed officer off post the same day. See agency training.
Frequently asked questions
Where exactly is the Hialeah range?
Florida Gun Center, 1770 W 38th Pl, Hialeah, FL 33012 — right off the Palmetto Expressway. Which range your class uses depends on the course and the day, and it is confirmed when your class is scheduled.
Is a “security guard licence” the same as a Class G?
Same job, different word. Florida's official term is security officer — that is what appears on the licence and throughout Chapter 493 — but in everyday speech almost everyone says security guard. The unarmed licence is the Class "D"; the armed one is the Class "G". So if an employer told you they need a "guard with a G", they mean a Class D holder who also holds a Class G.
