Most training providers focus only on delivering the state minimum for certification. PPS training is built to produce deployment-ready officers — not just certificate holders.

Key advantages of PPS training:

  • Field-experienced instructors — Active security professionals, not classroom-only academics

  • Scenario-based, hands-on learning — Real situations, not just lecture and multiple-choice testing

  • Industry-specific knowledge — Tailored to the environments PPS guards actually protect: retail, healthcare, commercial office, manufacturing, and hospitality

  • Dual-state certification — PPSB (NC) and SLED (SC) certification available from a single provider in Charlotte

  • Employment pathway — Training graduates are immediately eligible for consideration for open PPS guard positions

  • Continuous development — PPS officers receive ongoing training after hire, not just at onboarding or renewal

  • Best pricing in the Charlotte area — Competitive rates with corporate and group discounts available
