Missed Classes
The student understands that ALL deposits and/or payments for courses are to reserve a dedicated space for that student, and as such, course payments are non-refundable unless authorized by the management of Firearm Safety & Training Academy (FSTA). In the event the student fails to attend any FSTA course which they enrolled, they forfeit the total class fee paid. The student understands that no student in any course is guaranteed a “Certificate of Course Completion”, nor certification of any kind, merely as a result of having paid for any course. The student further understands that failure to pass prerequisite written and range (if needed) or practical examinations, required by each course, will result in non-certification.

The student further understands that failure of any final examination of any course will require the final examination to be retaken at the convenience of FSTA, and a fee assessed of $ 25.00 per written re-examination (depending on class) and $50.00 per firearms range re-examination. The student understands the NRA or other certifying/credentialing agencies require specific total hours of training, and failure to be at the training(s) and in the classroom at the appointed time may result in disqualification from taking the qualifying exam for that class session, and the student may be required to retake the course in its’ entirety or make up the missed time if authorized by the FSTA management. The student understands these determinations are at the sole discretion of Firearm Safety & Training Academy (FSTA) and through its’ appointed representatives.

Unforeseen Class Absences
If a student is unable to attend a class session due to accident or sickness, the student shall be able to re-schedule or attend following scheduled class. A student who completes the course of instruction, but fails the qualifying examination is not due a refund in any case. The student may retest at the following test date at the student’s expense.

Exam Failure
If a student fails a final examination, the student has the opportunity to retake the final exam. A processing fee of $25.00 can be accessed for each attempt written exam and $50.00 per firearms range re-examination(depending on the class). If a student fails a practical examination, such as a range test, a processing fee of $ 50.00 will be accessed for each attempt, and the student will be responsible for associated costs, such as range fees, and ammunition.
