    If you complete the 40-hours while you are looking for work, you can tell an employer that you have already completed all 40-hours.

It is conducted by a PointBlank Training Center Instructor who is a certified law enforcement training instructor. Handcuffs are provided for use during the class.

    The USCCA’s AR-15 Fundamentals Training Classes are practical! This is not like the high-intensity, high-speed, fad AR-15 training you see on social media. These rifle training classes are actually focused on and effective for civilian use. The goal isn’t to train you like you’re part of an elite tactical unit, rather, this training provides instruction that builds a strong foundation for real-world self-defense regardless of experience level.
