Firearms Requalification Does Not Count Toward CLEET Continuing Education

This is in the rule explicitly. Firearms requalification courses will not count toward mandate training.

A lot of armed license holders assume the annual requalification handles both their firearms requirement and a chunk of their CE. It does not. Qualification and continuing education are two separate requirements with two separate hour counts.

For an armed security guard, that means 8 CE hours per licensing period AND annual firearms requalification. For an armed PI or combination license, 16 CE hours AND annual requalification. Missing either one delays your renewal.
