BERETTA ARMORER TRAINING COURSE GUIDELINES
In order to maintain the Beretta weapons in excellent serviceable condition - ready for trouble free field performance - and extend their service life at minimum cost, armorers must have an in-depth knowledge in appropriate maintenance.
The Beretta Armorer Training Courses are designed for the Law Enforcement/Military armorer or gunsmith. These courses provide complete, detailed answers to specific questions concerning the mechanical functioning, operating procedures, field stripping, inspection, trouble shooting, and maintenance of our firearms. The Certification allows these individuals to work on the Beretta firearms (on which they are trained) without voiding their warranties.
Courses are held both at the Beretta USA facility in Accokeek, MD, or in the field. Please contact our administrator for details on scheduling an In-Field class.
Each firearm is covered in a one-day course and is open to qualified armorers/gunsmiths employed by law enforcement agencies, the military, or private security companies. (At this time Beretta is not able to provide training to private individuals, firearm dealers or civilian gunsmiths).
The fee for each course is $300.00 per student.
Certification will be provided by Beretta USA upon successful completion of the class and is valid for a period of 3 years.
