CCW Training Academy works to provide every student with professional, well-organized firearms training and sufficient instructor time. Because many classes require advance scheduling, range reservations, equipment preparation, and travel, the following reschedule and refund policies apply to all registrations and training appointments. Our privacy policies are set to protect our students.

Payment and Registration

All training must be paid for in advance. Registration for a scheduled group class is not complete until payment has been received. Class space cannot be guaranteed without payment. Private training, in-home training, and other individually scheduled training must be arranged by telephone before payment is submitted. Please call CCW Training Academy first so that the date, time, training location, and availability can be confirmed. Do not submit payment for private or individually scheduled training until the appointment has been confirmed.

Student Cancellations and Rescheduling

CCW Training Academy understands that schedules sometimes change. When at least 48 hours’ notice is provided, the student may choose one of the following:

• Reschedule the training
• Receive full credit toward another CCW Training Academy class
• Receive a refund of the amount paid

When a cancellation or rescheduling request is received less than 48 hours before the scheduled starting time, the student will receive a credit equal to 50% of the amount paid. That credit may be applied toward another CCW Training Academy class or training session. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before training are not eligible for a cash refund.

Failure to Attend

A student who does not attend the scheduled class or training session and does not provide advance notice will be considered a no-show. A no-show forfeits the entire payment. No refund or training credit will be issued.

Late Arrivals

Students who arrive late will receive the training that can be completed during the remaining scheduled time. The scheduled ending time will not automatically be extended because of a late arrival. Missed instruction may be made up only when the instructor’s schedule permits. Additional time is not guaranteed. Students should plan to arrive early enough to complete any required range paperwork, waivers, equipment checks, or safety orientation before training begins.

Weather and Unsafe Conditions

Outdoor firearms training may be affected by rain, lightning, severe weather, range conditions, or other circumstances that could make training unsafe. When weather or another unsafe condition requires a class to be postponed, CCW Training Academy will contact the affected students. Whenever reasonably possible, notice will be provided at least two hours before the scheduled starting time. Unless you receive an email, telephone call, or text message stating that the training has been postponed, plan to attend as scheduled. Training postponed because of weather or unsafe conditions will be rescheduled. A student who cannot attend the replacement date may choose a full credit toward another class or a refund.

Cancellations by CCW Training Academy

CCW Training Academy may occasionally need to postpone or cancel training because of severe weather, an instructor emergency, a range closure, unsafe conditions, or another circumstance beyond the Academy’s control. When CCW Training Academy cancels a class or training session, the student may choose to:

• Attend the rescheduled session
• Receive full credit toward another class
• Receive a refund of the amount paid

Range Fees and Range Requirements

Some live-fire training requires the use of an independently operated shooting range. Unless the course description specifically states that range fees are included, range fees are separate from the CCW Training Academy instructional fee. Range fees are almost always paid to the range through your instructor. This is generally the most economical and least expensive way to handle the range charges. CCW Training Academy and your instructor do not retain any portion of the range fees. Students must comply with all rules, waivers, reservation requirements, and safety procedures established by the range.

Ammunition Requirements

Only new, commercially manufactured factory ammunition may be used during CCW Training Academy live-fire training. Reloaded ammunition, handloaded ammunition, and remanufactured ammunition are not permitted. Students are responsible for bringing the correct type and caliber of ammunition for the firearm they will use unless other arrangements have been made in advance.

Required Equipment

Students will be informed of the equipment required for their particular class or training session. Depending on the course, required equipment may include:

• A safe and serviceable handgun
• A suitable holster
• A sturdy belt
• Extra magazines
• Eye protection
• Hearing protection
• Approximately 200 rounds of factory-manufactured ammunition

Equipment requirements may vary by course. Students should review their registration information and contact CCW Training Academy before class if they are uncertain about what to bring.

Agreement to These Policies

By registering for or submitting payment for a CCW Training Academy class or training session, the student acknowledges and accepts these Training, Scheduling, Cancellation, and Refund Policies and infers that they are legally allowed to handle firearms. Questions concerning scheduling, equipment, range arrangements, or these policies should be resolved before payment is submitted.
