Pre-registration is required for all classes conducted by the Criminal Justice & Security Institute of Virginia. 

A registration form and full payment shall be received at least seven (7) days before class. Registration may be done in person or over the phone with a credit card.

All class payments are non‑refundable. If an employer schedules an employee for a course and the employee does not attend, the employer will still be responsible for the no‑show fee (50% of the class fee). Any class time missed during a paid course must be made up within 30 days.

CJSI reserves the right to cancel any class that has an inadequate number of registrants (three or fewer). CJSI also reserves the right to extend classes and adjust schedules as necessary to accommodate required training hours and practical exercises.

CJSI reserves the right to refuse services or training to any individual for conduct, behavior, or issues involving instructors or staff.

The smell of Marijuana will not be permitted at all, and you will be asked to leave whether you consumed it or not. You will not be issued a refund.

No cell phones, audio, video, or still photography is allowed in the classroom or any practical exercise or range.

Class begins promptly on the hour. Each trainee must complete every hour of every scheduled session as scheduled. Any trainee who does not complete every scheduled hour of every scheduled session risks forfeiting his or her course fee. Tardiness will be unacceptable.

Students are responsible for submitting their DCJS 99# to the instructor within five (5) days of completing the class. Failure to provide this number will prevent the student from being entered into Lotus and will result in no credit being awarded for the course.

All course materials provided by The Marksman / CJSI are proprietary and may not be duplicated in any form.

The attire for class is casual: classes that involve physical activity require appropriate clothing and shoes. Jewelry worn during physical activity will be worn at the trainee’s own risk.

Trainees are strongly encouraged to bring the following items to the range for all firearms courses: a directional‑draw holster and enclosed‑toe shoes. The following items are recommended but not required: eye protection, hearing protection, and duty gear.

If you plan to qualify with your own firearm, you must bring three magazines compatible with that firearm and a directional‑draw holster that properly accommodates it.

Any trainee who fails a written examination must retest within one week. Written exams may only be taken twice. If the exam is not passed on the second attempt, the student will be required to retake the entire course and pay the full course fee.

Range failures scoring below 225 points (75%) are permitted one re‑shoot at a cost of $25.00. If the trainee does not qualify on that re‑shoot, they will be required to complete a private lesson at a rate of $60.00. If the trainee still does not qualify after completing the private lesson, they must retake the initial entry‑level course at full cost.

Classes involving practical exercises may be hazardous or involve risk to one's health. Concealed weapons are permitted only with the express permission from the training director.

A ten-minute break will be given after every 50 minutes of instruction. No smoking or vaping of ANY kind will be permitted in the building. Drinks and food are allowed in the classroom. A one-hour meal break will be given during every eight (8) hour session (Note: breaks do not count toward class time).

Cheating on examinations and practical exercises will not be tolerated. Anyone caught cheating will immediately be dismissed from class. No training completion credit will be given, fees will not be refunded, and notice will be sent to the Department of Criminal Justice Services. Trainees caught cheating will not be allowed to enroll in future classes with The Marksman / CJSI

I acknowledge that with any type of physical training or firearms training the possibility always exists that injury may occur to the registrant or other participants. I agree not to hold any student and/or participant, CJSI, or any agency affiliated with this program responsible for injuries, adverse health conditions, or death I may sustain during this course. I will report any injuries incurred immediately.
