All participants must take either a 16- or 8-hour class. Participants with only 4 hours of credit must take the 16-hour class but will receive a corresponding reduction in the price of the class to acknowledge their 4 hours of credit.
Although veterans are granted an 8-hour exemption, we highly recommend that those former service members who did not carry a handgun while in service take the full 16 hours.
Students without proper documentation will be directed to register for the next available 16-hour class.
Refunds
Once a class is completed, NO REFUNDS will be given.
