The Hamblen Group provides handgun re-certification for security officers, bail bonds, and private detectives. You are required by both, the DOL and CJTC to qualify with your handgun once per year. This requirement is set by both the DOL and CJTC.
A current DOL issued armed license is a requirement. The course is a 4 hour process. First we cover highlights from the basic certification course. We cover the highlights to ensure that you are prepared for the testing procedure.
The agent/officer/guard/investigator then will take the written part (closed book) and the hands-on range testing. Testing is the same as the original certification, but the classroom instruction is a review.
Students are advised to study for the test as a 100% is required per Washington State CJTC requirements and the test is closed book.
Prior knowledge of Firearm safety, weapons handling, and accurate shooting are a requirement for this session.
Please remember this is a Washington State Firearm licensing and Washington State Weapons Qualification.
No extensive hands-on weapons training is conducted. We do allow and recommend, a warm-up session. During the warm-up, our instructors are able to give coaching to increase your qualification score. In addition, we do allow two attempts ($25 per attempt) to qualify and will certify you with up to 2 handguns at no additional cost.
If you require more in-depth training, we also provide that: Firearms Training. The firearms (handgun) training is flexable and can be targeted to meet shortcomings and to enhance your skills.
If circumstances force you to cancel your class 50% is refundable. Classes are much like a concert or sporting event. The instructor must be paid even if no one comes to the class.
A $30 per person deposit is required to secure your re-certification.
Although we do not like last minute changes to our schedule and we know you don't either, we do reserve the right to cancel any class in the event of an emergency. Of course, refunds will be issued. Please know that we will always do our best to accommodate you.
The firing range is outdoors, so please consider the weather and dress appropriately.
Prior to the class you are sent a liability waiver. It is a standard waiver, but please read it so that if you have questions you can ask.
