What Our Graduates Are Saying
“I work for a competing Security Company. Our Corporate office is in Nashville so we are limited in office and training space. I was able to get all of my North Carolina and South Carolina Officers through the Piedmont training course. This is about 25-30 people total. Vincent Cardieri was the instructor. He delivered a strong class supported with years of job experience and classroom control to back it up. I did see a visible improvement in my officers awareness and attention to detail. The guard card classes definitely set a high standard for performance and expectations. I now use this Piedmont team for all of our Charlotte area needs.”
“I had zero security experience when I signed up for the unarmed course at PPS. Two weeks after finishing, I was working my first post as a certified security officer. The instructors made the legal material easy to understand and the classroom environment was professional. I’m now working toward my armed certification.”
“We send all our new hires to PPS for their NCPPSB training. The instructors are thorough, the scheduling is flexible, and our officers come back ready to perform on day one. The fact that PPS understands the security industry from the inside makes a real difference in training quality.”
“After completing my unarmed training with PPS, I came back for the armed course. The firearms instruction was hands-on and safety-focused. I passed my day and night qualifications on the first attempt. The pricing was the best I found in the Charlotte area.”
