Ensuring Compliance with Online Security Training Standards

With the increasing demand for online security training programs, it is essential to adhere to the strict guidelines and regulations set forth by governing bodies. One such set of regulations is outlined in the 5N-1.132 Firearms Training rules. These rules establish the requirements for initial firearms qualification, annual requalification training, firearms instruction, instructor recordkeeping, and online training standards. This article will explore how the STG platform aligns with these regulations, providing a comprehensive and secure online environment for firearms training.

1. Initial Firearms Qualification:

The STG platform offers a robust training program that satisfies the 28-hour range and classroom training requirement. Through live online instruction facilitated by Class "K" firearms instructors, participants can successfully complete the training while ensuring their identity, attendance, and successful completion are verified.

The STG platform goes beyond providing online instruction for firearms training. It also offers a comprehensive solution for students to register for the crucial 8 hours of in-person range training, which focuses on safely handling and storing firearms. This range of training is essential for individuals seeking initial qualification and is conducted in collaboration with STG's affiliate Class "K" instructor partners throughout the state.

By incorporating the in-person range training into our program, STG ensures that students have access to a complete and well-rounded firearms training experience. This aspect of the training allows individuals to gain hands-on experience and practical skills under the guidance of qualified instructors.

STG's commitment to meeting the state requirements for the statewide firearms license is reflected in the design of our robust firearms training program. By combining online instruction and in-person range training, we provide students with a comprehensive training curriculum that covers all necessary aspects of firearm safety, handling, and storage.

Our platform enables students statewide to conveniently access and complete the STG firearms training program, ensuring they meet the state's rigorous standards. With our network of affiliate Class "K" instructor partners, we can offer training opportunities across different locations, making it easier for individuals to find a suitable training facility nearby.

STG aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to safely and responsibly handle firearms. By providing a seamless online learning experience and facilitating in-person range training, we strive to ensure that our students receive the highest quality firearms education while complying with the state's requirements for obtaining a statewide firearms license.

2. Annual Firearms Reporting Requirement:

To meet the annual requalification training requirement, the STG platform allows participants to submit the required Certificate of Firearms Proficiency for Statewide Firearms License. This submission can be made online by the state by the K instructor, ensuring a streamlined process and eliminating any delays in reporting. By complying with the submission deadline specified on the license, licensees can maintain their qualifications seamlessly.

3. Firearms Instruction:

The STG platform provides access to the Firearms Training Manual Student Handbook and Study Guide, which complies with the instruction material requirements for both initial qualification and annual requalification training. Class "G" applicants and licensees can access this resource online, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the training material. Additionally, the platform supports the Firearms Training Manual Instructor's Guide, assisting Class "K" licensed firearms instructors in meeting the instructional requirements.

4. Firearms Instructor Recordkeeping Requirements:

The STG platform caters to the recordkeeping requirements for instructors conducting online courses. Detailed records of training sessions, instructor information, and compliance with security protocols are easily maintained within the platform. Instructors can ensure transparency and cooperation with department investigators by providing immediate access to records.

7. Firearms Online Training: Compliance Features for an Online Learning Management System
