It's been about a year now since I did the 832 Arrest last August here. I came back to do the…read morefirearms portion. They offer like 2 night and 2 day classes a month. Each class is 3-4 days long. I did the night one as it was sooner and that is Thursday and Friday 6-10pm. Then all day Saturday and Sunday at the range. I came from SoCal so it's a lot of driving. They now have you prepay to reserve your spot in class. $90 for class, $95 for livescan, $100 for ammo, $8 for textbook, and some cash for food and drinks. I so dearly want to give this place 5 stars but still have the communication issue with admin staff. The DOJ clearance letter may take a few weeks, but mine came in 3 days and many many people said it came within a week. YOU MUST BRING THIS ORIGINAL TO THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS. A few people didn't and they couldn't do the class. Be sure to bring VOLUME 5 of textbook and not 4 like it says on the website. I had to order the right one on day 2. The instructors were amazing!!!!!! Led by Mr. Terry who is experienced, clearly knows what he is doing, and great with the class. We all had great things to say about him! We had 18 in the class which I heard is mid sized to larger for this class. The range is very nice but can get really hot, bring a chair and a cooler. Only wish they would do this class once or so during the week so you don't have to do the weekend. Maybe hire more people in admin to get more efficient with responses and requests.

I took the December 2nd - 4th PC 832 Firearms class. I took the daytime format and the class was…read moreled by Mr. Terry with the help of four other instructors. They did an excellent job and I learned a lot. Any of the instructors will work with you one on one until you feel comfortable and give you many opportunities to improve. All of the instructors are either current or retired peace officers (corrections, BPD, probation, Kern Co. Sheriffs Office etc.) and several were the range master of their agency. By the time I took the test I felt very ready and was able to pass. Make sure you have your DOJ letter on the first day and your BOG paperwork if you are a BOG student. If you don't have all of your paperwork they will not let you take the course. Make sure you follow all of the guidelines on what to bring posted on the course website. I will definitely be coming back when it is time to recertify!
