Hosting a training course is a great way to save money ensuring your unit or agency receives needed training and credentialing. Course hosting saves on travel and lodging costs as well as productive time away from work greatly reducing training expenditures. Hosting a training course is easy.
Listed below are the requirements necessary for hosting a training course at your facility:
Facility

Access to a live fire range. 25 yard minimum distance, 50 yards preferred. For rifle courses longer ranges are necessary and will be discussed on a case –by-case basis.

GPS coordinates, address and driving directions to the nearest location for emergency services.

Student Enrollment
Courses will only be conducted for class sizes of 10 or more students or as needed on a case-by-case basis. Students may come from the host agency or any other agency within the 50 U.S. states and approved foreign agencies.
