Additional Notes from Your Instructor
Important Notes – Court-Ordered Firearms Safety Training This course is designed to meet court-ordered firearms safety education requirements and is delivered in a professional, non-tactical, safety-focused manner. Live Firearms & Weapons Handling Live firearms handling, ammunition, or live-fire range instruction will NOT be conducted unless explicit written authorization is provided by the ordering court, probation office, or supervising authority. When live fire is not authorized, instruction will be limited to classroom education and the use of inert training aids or dry-fire simulators only. This course does not include tactical training, scenario-based defensive drills, or combative instruction. Instruction is educational in nature and does not constitute legal advice. Training Location Requirements (Out-of-State Instruction) For court-ordered training conducted outside of Virginia, an appropriate instructional location must be secured and approved in advance. Acceptable locations may include court facilities, probation offices, or other approved classroom spaces. Client-provided or instructor-arranged locations must be professional, quiet, and suitable for instructional use and are subject to instructor approval. Any facility rental or usage fees associated with instructor-arranged locations are the responsibility of the student or referring agency and must be paid in advance. Payment & Attendance Policy Full payment is required at the time of class registration. Registration is not confirmed until payment is received. No refunds will be issued for no-shows or failure to attend. Court-ordered training requires reserved instructional time, materials, and administrative preparation. Missed attendance cannot be refunded. Rescheduling Policy Students who are unable to attend their scheduled class must notify the instructor at least 24 hours in advance to request rescheduling. One (1) reschedule may be granted at the instructor’s discretion, subject to availability. Requests made with less than 24 hours’ notice, or failure to appear without notice, will be treated as a no-show and will forfeit all fees paid. Additional rescheduling requests may require payment of a new class fee. Hardship Consideration Verified hardship situations (such as medical emergencies, documented court conflicts, or other extenuating circumstances) may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Requests must be communicated as soon as reasonably possible and may require documentation. Approval of hardship rescheduling or fee consideration is not guaranteed and remains at the sole discretion of the instructor. Repeated hardship requests may require coordination with the referring court or probation office. Court Compliance Attendance and completion are documented as required by the ordering court or probation office. Certificates of completion and attendance verification are provided upon successful completion. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all court-ordered deadlines and reporting requirements.
