The unarmed guard card class is an 8-hour classroom training session held at our Tempe facility on Saturdays from 8 am-4 pm. When you complete the class you will have the basic knowledge to qualify for the Arizona unarmed guard card. This class will also satisfy the requirements for a renewal license every 2 years as the new and renewal courses are the same.
The course consists of several basic topics that will allow students to gain a solid understanding of the functions, roles, and responsibilities of security work in Arizona. All course material is approved by the Arizona Department of Public Safety. All required paperwork is included in the cost of the course, but does not include the AZ DPS licensing fees.
Our unarmed guard training covers essential topics for a career in the security industry.
While our class provides the basic knowledge you need to apply for an Arizona Unarmed Guard Card, there are a few additional requirements you should know.
Out of respect for our students, the door to our classroom closes when the class begins at 8:00 am. After that time, admitting late arrivals is at the discretion of the instructors.
Prints and photos can be obtained for $20. Select the option during your registration for the course, and all will be completed at the conclusion of the training course.
The $75 course fee does not include license fees paid to AZ DPS. As of 2024, the cost of the unarmed guard license is $72. DPS can only accept the following forms of payment, made payable to the Arizona Department of Public Safety: cashier’s check, money order, or check drawn on a business account.

Students should bring a valid government-issued photo I.D. card. We also suggest bringing note-taking materials, water, and a couple of snacks. If your employer has provided you with paperwork, please bring that too.
