How Academy Training Is Delivered
Not every certification is available in every format. Our admissions team confirms the formats available for your selected program and the requirements that apply to you.
In-Person Training
Train at our Norcross Academy with access to certified instructors, training materials, classroom guidance, and required practical instruction. Complete assigned coursework and assessments at the pace permitted by your program.
Home Study
Complete qualifying coursework independently with Academy-provided study materials and instructor guidance. Required testing, documentation, and practical evaluations are coordinated through the Academy.
Online Learning
Digital coursework may be offered for eligible programs as Academy course access is activated and assigned. Training formats and access are confirmed by Academy staff during enrollment.
Required practicals are never optional.
Regardless of your training format, armed programs require an in-person range qualification, and certain certifications require instructor-led evaluations. Specific course requirements and equipment instructions are provided by the Academy after enrollment.
Course Completion Policy:
Students have 30–60 days from their date of enrollment to complete all required coursework and testing, depending on their selected training program. Each student is informed of their specific completion deadline during enrollment. Our self-paced training lets students progress according to their schedules while meeting the requirements and deadlines of their program.
