Training Policies & Registration Terms

PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING

At Pretty Shooters Firearms, we are committed to providing a safe, professional and welcoming training environment. Please review the following policies before registering for any of our courses.

These policies apply to all Pretty Shooters Firearms training programs, including firearms instruction, CPR/AED, first aid, preparedness and other safety related classes.

​

1. Payments & Refund Policy

ALL COURSE PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE ONCE PAYMENT IS MADE.

Please ensure you have selected the correct course and are available on your scheduled training date before registering.

Course payments reserve your seat and cannot be transferred to another participant without prior approval. Missed classes, no-shows and voluntary cancellations do not qualify for refunds.

Rescheduling options are outlined below.

​

2. Missed Classes, Rescheduling & Cancellations

Student Rescheduling:

• 72 hours or more before class: One complimentary reschedule is permitted with proper notice.

• Less than 72 hours before class: A $35 rescheduling fee applies.

• No-shows: Course payments are forfeited. Additional fees may apply to book another session.

• Additional rescheduling: After the complimentary reschedule has been used, additional fees ranging from 50% of the original course price may apply, depending on the course type and circumstances.

• Group Classes who cancel in less than 72 hours, forfeit their deposit. Additional fees may apply to book another session.

All rescheduling is subject to availability and must be approved by Pretty Shooters Firearms.

​

Courses Canceled or Rescheduled by Pretty Shooters

Occasionally, unforeseen circumstances like emergencies, weather conditions or insufficient enrollment may require us to reschedule a class.

Certain courses require a minimum of five registered students. Classes that do not meet this requirement may be moved to the next available date, generally within 30 days.

Students will receive full credit toward the rescheduled course. Private training may also be offered when available.

If Pretty Shooters cannot provide the purchased training, any refund obligations required by law will be honored.

​

3. Student Conduct & Safety

SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY.

All students are expected to follow instructor directions, respect fellow participants and maintain appropriate conduct throughout training.

Pretty Shooters Firearms reserves the right to remove any participant for:

• Threatening, aggressive, harassing or disruptive behavior.

• Failure to follow instructor directions or safety procedures.

• Attending class while intoxicated or otherwise impaired.

• Any conduct that places instructors, students or others at risk.

Participants removed for serious misconduct or safety violations will not receive a refund!

 

Bringing Personal Firearms to Class

DO NOT bring a personal firearm to training without prior authorization from the lead instructor.

Personal firearms may be permitted in designated courses, including Basic Pistol 2, private sessions and firearm cleaning classes.

All approved firearms must be unloaded, properly secured and inspected by the instructor before use. Firearms that fail inspection will not be permitted on the range. NO EXCEPTIONS!

​

4. Private Training & Additional Expenses

Semi-Private (No more than 3 people) and one-on-one training sessions may involve additional expenses not included in the instructor's fee.

Depending on the training package, participants may be responsible for range fees, ammunition, firearm rentals and other necessary supplies.

Targets and certain protective equipment will be provided at no additional cost.

All inclusive training packages may be available upon request. Please confirm what is included before booking.

Invoices & Billing

Invoices must be paid by the stated due date unless other arrangements have been approved.

Overdue invoices are subject to a $25 late fee, with an additional $5 assessed every five days for up to 15 days, as permitted by law and the applicable payment terms.

Unpaid balances may affect eligibility for future training.​

5. Certificates, Documentation & Permit Approval

Certificates & Replacement Documents

Students who successfully complete an eligible course will receive the appropriate certificate or training documentation.

Students are responsible for maintaining their records.

• Replacement documents (lost, destroyed and not expired) requested within one year of training are subject to a $45 fee per document.

• Replacements are subject to verification and record availability.

• Documents that are expired per the state, even if never used can not be given. Retaking the course may be necessary.

​

Licensing & Permit Approval

Completion of a Pretty Shooters Firearms course does not guarantee approval for any firearm permit, license or government issued credential.

All licensing and permit decisions are made by the appropriate issuing authorities.

Students are responsible for meeting eligibility requirements, completing applications and submitting all required documentation and fees to the appropriate state.
