Certification from a Kentucky or other firearms instructor course
offered by a state or federal governmental agency; or
4.
Certification from another firearms instructor training course that has
been determined by the Commissioner of the Department of
Criminal Justice Training to be equivalent to one (1) of the above
listed courses.
Certification as a firearms instructor trainer shall be valid for a period of three
(3) years during which an instructor trainer shall:
(a) Conduct or assist in at least one (1) firearms instructor course; or

(c) Attend an instructor trainer/instructor in-service training course of not

The department shall conduct in-service training for firearms instructor trainers
and certified firearms instructors. In-service training courses shall be held not
less than twice each year in each congressional district and shall be offered at
various times during the year ensuring that the maximum number of persons
can attend. Preference shall be given to conducting in-service training classes
on a Friday or a Saturday. Notice of the time, date, and location for in-service
training for each calendar year shall be sent to each firearms instructor trainer
and certified firearms instructor by mail or by e-mail not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the beginning of the first class for each calendar year. The cost of
the in-service training shall be not more than fifty dollars ($50).
At the end of the certification period, the department shall issue a new firearms
instructor trainer certification to a person who has completed the provisions of
this section, unless that firearms instructor trainer notifies the department in
writing that he or she desires not to be recertified or is otherwise ineligible to be
recertified. There shall be no charge for recertification. A firearms instructor
trainer who has permitted his or her certification to expire may take the

(180) days from the date of expiration of the certification without having to
repeat the requirements of subsection (2) of this section.

hundred dollars ($100). No portion of the fee shall be refunded to any student
who fails or who does not complete the required course of training.
Any state agency or public university which owns a firing range shall make that
range available to the department for the conduct of in-service training without
charge if the department determines that for any particular year's in-service
training that range firing is required.
