We may be in a position to help, or soon will be… but: No promises.

Instructor Registration: Support & Regulatory Compliance

If you represent a Licensed Security Agency in Arizona (or one acquiring or renewing agency licensing) and you need to register one of our licensed security guard instructors and/or firearms-safety instructors for your agency to satisfy the mandates of A.R.S. § 32-2613(C) and A.R.S. § 32-2632, please submit a contact request by using the form at the bottom of this page; or emailing us directly.

Important Employment Status Notice:
To protect our instructors’ career track toward becoming a Qualifying Party under A.R.S. § 32-2612(B), registration requires the hiring agency to onboard the instructor under a Full-Time Supervisor status with a flexible/discretionary commitment.

• Duration Lock: This status must remain active for the entire duration of years impacted by the association, defined as whichever is longest of either your agency’s license/renewal cycle or the instructor’s certified license/renewal cycle.
• Operational Expectation: They are technically “on-call” full-time to oversee your training division’s regulatory compliance, but their physical hourly obligation is completely flexible (allowing for zero operational hours on any given week) so they can maintain their primary commitments with our instruction agency to instruct your employees (and those of similarly affiliated agencies).
• Identity Security Policy: To protect our personnel from unauthorized agency registration, we do not publish full legal names or license numbers publicly. Background details are only released after our formal Mutual Non-Disclosure and Non-Circumvention Agreement (NDNC) is fully adopted and signed by your agency via its qualifying representative.
• Curriculum Policy: If your agency does not currently have an independent curriculum approved by AZ DPS, or your current curriculum is found to be flawed and otherwise does not meet current CII standards for instruction, CII must make a curriculum for specific use with your agency for the training of your agency’s employees by our instructors before training begins. Any CII developed curriculum is the proprietary property of CII and is not available for circumvented use by your agency without the purchase of its copyright from CII.
  
  

NOTE: The Above mostly applies to Licensed Security Agencies employing Licensed Security Guards which require initial training and annual retraining and to acquire and maintain AZ DPS licensing. For in-house security instruction, CII currently has the necessary 16hrs of curriculum. Our curriculum (including the CII AZ CCW Certification Course, CII Defense Pistol training, and NRA courses) complies with ARS requirements for training and retraining in-house armed security guards ~ individually or for any private company; see the applicable ARS statute below:

ARIZONA REVISED STATUTE
Title 32, Chapter 26, Article 01; ARS 32-2606

This chapter does not apply to:

3. A company that employs security guards solely for use of and service to itself and not for others and that complies with the following requirements:

(a) If the company’s security guards are armed, each guard must complete sixteen hours of firearms training initially and complete an additional eight hours of refresher training each year thereafter.

Attendance, Late Arrival, and No-Show Policy

By registering for a course, you agree to the following terms:

Concealed Carry & Defense Pistol
These courses do not carry hourly minimums mandated by any certifying body, and so… we allow a minor buffer. Arriving slightly late (no more than 15 minutes) is permitted, provided it does not disrupt the class. Arriving excessively late will result in an immediate refusal of service.

For the following courses, subject to Arizona Department of Public Safety or National Rifle Association rules, there is no buffer:

NRA and Security Guard Training
The National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) strictly mandate the exact number of instructional hours required for certifications. You are not allowed to short us. We are not allowed to short you. Total attendance is [explicitly] required!!!

Late Arrival, Conditional Policy: If you arrive late to an NRA or security class, or return late after a break, you may sit in to receive the remainder of the training that session. However, you will not receive certification at the end of training. To earn the certificate after a late arrival, you must independently finance and schedule private, 1-on-1 makeup training with an instructor to account for every missing hour; rounded upward from a single minute. We are well aware of the game less ethical instruction agencies play pertaining to this, and that is a line we do not cross at CII.

No Refunds for Late Arrivals or No-Shows

Strict Policy: All course fees are non-refundable if you miss your class or arrive too late to participate.
Rescheduling: If you do miss the window, you will be graced with a single opportunity to reschedule.
Refunds are simply not possible due to facility, insurance, equipment, and travel expense overhead.

NOTICE: Our in-class training is 100% Ammunition-Free across all training blocks.

Firearms may only be present with written authorization, pending inspection and the documentation of presence by the instructor, unloaded, for cleaning and function checks before and after firing range training. This is NOT a violation of your Second Amendment Rights. This is to guarantee the safety of all students, faculty, and facilities, and for compliance with our facility use agreements and insurance riders.

This carry prohibition explicitly applies to any and all firearms, carried open or concealed, with or without a valid concealed carrying permit. Authorized firearms may only be loaded at the firing range when instructed to do so, and ammunition may only be present there and then.

Signs constituting sufficient legal notice are posted at classroom entrances to reinforce this.
Be aware that venues may have additional prohibitions. Please follow venue rules.
Violations will likely result in a Criminal Trespass process proceeding.

Your understanding and cooperation are non-negotiable.
