This is a two-segment program.

 

The first day is classroom based with updated regulations and presentations about the required subject topics. As a renewal, you can also do dry-fire (non-shooting) practice.

We review the actual target that is used in the qualification process and show the distances required for the qualification to allow the student to better prepare for the range day.

 

The second day is hands-on covering safety, marksmanship, firearm handling, culminating with the required qualification course(s) of fire. Upon successfully completing both days, participants will receive a renewal certificate to submit to their authorizing law enforcement agency.​​
