The fees for doing so, however, are not included in your training and you must pay DCJS directly for fingerprint processing and registration fees. Please plan for your training days to be full. This course is primarily classroom theory and practical application of the skills we will be covering.

Day one of class begins at 1pm on the day scheduled*. GSE offers a student break room with a refrigerator and microwave if you’d like to bring a snack. Intermittent breaks are given as scheduled by the instructor. Students may bring a lunch for day two or go out for lunch.

GSE offers a 10% discount to all active-duty military, honorably discharged veterans, and law enforcement. Proof of service is required.
No weapons are authorized to be carried during this course. If you are a sworn law enforcement officer bound by general order to carry off-duty, please identify yourself to the lead instructor upon entering the building.
If inclement weather is expected on the day of training, GSE will decide to cancel/delay class start time no later than 6am the morning of the training. For students outside the area, please pay attention to the forecast in Frederick County as it often differs from areas east of the Shenandoah Valley.
This will be an educational experience and a great time for everyone involved. If you have any further questions, please contact us. Thank you and we look forward to training with you.
