I did my classes for armed and unarmed here I finished my unarmed November 3 and my armed November 5 I paid for my perc and FOID card at the beginning of these classes not only did they sit on my Perc Card since Decenber 2 and didn't inform me I went in to check on my FOID card on May 3 to see what the hold up was and was informed my FOID card application was never submitted even though they took the money up front and you cant get any refunds for anything you purchase here... my app was not put in until I went in to inquire about how long it was taking ...unprofessional and incompetence is all I can say dint recommend at all

My experience at Ptc was very educational and comforting. Seldom do you get an instructor who is understanding and patient especially when you haven't been to a range in awhile. I will be doing all my requals at Ptc from now on.

whats included in the $100 armed class? does live fingerprint included? If we do not have our own semi is its an addit $20 ? How many days is class?. How many states does the carry concealed cover?

$100 fee covers you for 20 hour armed security 3 days training class. (If you have already completed the 20 hour unarmed training class). You will have to pay $70 range fee. You can pay $124 for the Utah concealed carry which covers every state except Illinois and New York. Fingerprinting is not included. Do you already have a F.O.I.D card? Do you already have 20 hour unarmed certification? And also, FYI the concealed carry and armed security are two separate courses.

They have a list of employers, many of them needing security officers but you have check if there are 24 hour accounts. Factories and the better known banks, Chase, Harris etc, usually are 24/7 365

No one ever answers the phone here and tbh you guys should just get rid of it. Besides that How long is the actual class? and when will i receive my Perc card???

A Google User | Oct 26, 2020
Jessica Johnson | Oct 26, 2020

J.C Embry (JMoney) | Oct 26, 2020
Latasha Black | Oct 26, 2020

Yes that's for the class it has nothing to do with the perc card but the information you will learn and class exercises definitely are well worth it....

How Old Do You Got To Be To Attend?

Do they do the 20 hour security class every day?

Chumyia Powell | Oct 27, 2019
Renee Walker | Oct 27, 2019

Classes start on Monday morning at 9am and you will do two 8-hour days and a half a day on Wednesday that would count for your 20 hours on Mid Wednesday and Thursday and Friday he starts another class and I believe that class is the firearms class your instructor name is Lois Phillips very renowned own instructor for all his accomplishments experience and teaching skills great place to get trained if you are still interested.
