Course Information
The armed guard refresher class is an 8 hour course designed for currently licensed armed security guards that need to satisfy the annual training requirements each calendar year, or for those armed guards needing to renew their license every 2 years. All students must demonstrate a knowledge and proficiency of armed security guard issues by passing a written test with a minimum score of 70 percent at the conclusion of the class. Students will also be required to display shooting proficiency by firing a 50 round qualification and achieving a score of at least 70 percent. In total, a minimum of 50 rounds of ammunition will be used during this course. At the conclusion of the course, for those interested and qualified, we will assist students with their application for an Arizona Concealed Carry Permit (CCW).
At the conclusion of the course, students who have completed the course requirements are eligible for an Arizona Concealed Weapons Permit (CCW). AZSG will provide the paperwork and required documents at no charge upon request. The permit fee is currently $60.
Armed classes are held once a month on Saturdays from 8am-4pm at our Tempe Location. Check our calendar for course dates. All paperwork, fingerprints and photographs are included in the cost of the course, but does not include the AZ DPS licensing fees if taking this course for a 2 year renewal. Those completing their annual refresher training do not need to submit payment to AZ DPS.
