Class Audit and Do Over Policy

Here at Texas Defensive Firearms Training your training goals are important to us. We realize that individuals may have the best of intentions to complete a series of courses and get sidetracked by life, for this reason we developed the Do Over program.

The Do Over program allows you to retake any class at a discounted rate. For example if you took Defensive Pistol I in Spring of 2010 and now wanted to take Defensive Pistol II, but needed to refresh your skills you could use the Do Over program. With the Do Over program retaking Defensive Pistol I would cost you 35% - 40% of the listed price plus range fee.

With this program we hope to build confidence in our students with each level of training they advance to.
