Operational Firearms Safety and Firearms Mechanical Training – 8 to 11 hours
This portion of the curriculum is intended to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical operations of a rearm
and how to handle rearms safely.
A written examination of 100 questions will be administered covering the portions of the curriculum dealing with legal use and operational/mechanical training.
Firearms Qualification – 8 hours
This segment of the training course includes practical exercises in the handling of rearms – stance, grip, sighting, etc. – as well as topics pertaining to range safety and range commands. The instructor will require students to re
144 rounds as part of the rearms qualification for initial licensure (48 rounds of practice re
+2 cycles of 48 rounds for initial qualification).
No more than eight hours of the 28 hours of training shall consist of range training.
A Class “K” instructor can, at his or her discretion, administer as few as 5 hours of range qualification training if the student(s) demonstrates sufficient mastery of the core principles of safe rearms handling (to include shooting a qualifying score) without the full eight hours of range training. However, reducing the number of hours of range training will require teaching additional hours elsewhere in the curriculum so that the cumulative total of rearms training amounts to 28 hours as required by s. 493.6105(5), F.S.
