RS&A INTERNATIONAL FIREARMS EXAMINER TRAINING ACADEMY


This academy is an accelerated firearms training program, and it is incumbent on each student to make sure that the assigned readings are completed before arriving at the academy.  The students will also be responsible for keeping up with the fast-paced learning environment which may include late night study sessions and/or research.

There will be written exams given weekly or by topic and comparison practicals throughout the academy.
THANK YOU TO OUR FIREARMS ACADEMY SPONSORS
Where are you going to find fully trained Firearms Examiners to fill your future vacancies?
There are always more vacant positions than there are qualified Firearm Examiners to fill them.

Are you willing to invest the 2-2 years needed for your senior staff members to apprentice new trainees to the point where they can contribute to case production? If so, what’s the REAL cost of this approach, and will you then find yourself in a continual training mode?


We understand your staffing needs and believe there is a better way. RS&A is launching another International Firearms Examiner Training Academy. This carefully designed, intense training program will produce a Firearms Examiner who can immediately substantially impact your operation.

Students must meet stringent educational, ethical, and visual acuity standards to be accepted into the program. They will be routinely tested throughout the academy to ensure their competence in each instruction module. They will be ready for supervised casework as soon as they arrive at your agency. They will have been tested through written examinations and comparison practicals.

RS&A is internationally known as the premier forensic identification training company, with a cadre of world-class instructors.

The academy will be held at the Meridian Community College Workforce Development Training Facility. This new state-of-the-art training facility is in Meridian, MS. It offers spacious classrooms, new computer labs, and a break room. Mock court training will be held in an actual courtroom setting where students gain invaluable courtroom experience.

Students will be provided information for the host hotel , and each student will be provided with their own room. Each room offers access to Free Wi-Fi internet, cable TV, housekeeping services, a business center, and a fitness center. A special discounted rate is given to each academy student who registers at this hotel.

Transportation for each student is highly recommended and is the sole responsibility of the student or sponsoring agency.

The per student cost of the International Firearms Examiner Training Academy is $21,500.00, which is far less than what it would cost your agency to complete this same level of training utilizing in-house case working analysts. Your agency will get a trained Firearms Examiner in a fraction of the time it takes your agency to train one in-house. How is this possible? Academy students are in a full-time dedicated teaching/learning academy without daily distractions. Students have full access to a team of highly skilled and fully committed RS&A staff who are dedicated to ensuring your employee's success.

The Future is Bright! It is anticipated that there will continue to be additional academy sessions. We have the facilities and instructors to accommodate the training needs of the forensic industry.
