The primary purpose of the Firearms Instructor Update Course is to provide instructors an overview of significant changes made to the Florida Basic Recruit Training Program Criminal Justice Firearms Course and the Firearms Instructor Course. This update course is mandatory for all Firearms Instructors to renew your Firearms Instructor Certification. All agency Firearms Instructors will need to take this course prior to July 1, 2024 or they will lose their certification and have to take the entire Firearms Instructor Course again. Students will be required to qualify on each course. Failure on any course is an exit point from the Update Course. There is NO remediation for Instructor level courses. Students must pass with a score of 85% or better on the written exam. Pre-Requisites: Current CJSTC General Instructor Certification AND Current High Liability Firearms Instructor Certification.
