We are a fully accredited institution, offering a full range of courses leading the student toward a certificate or degree upon completion. The degree program is 64 credits designed to be taken over 2 years. The 30 credit certificate program can be completed in 1 year. After study, the student will graduate with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Gunsmithing and /or a Journeyman's Certificate. Both programs are located on the Prescott Campus.
In response to the changing needs of the trade and requests from students, we have gone to a year round, full-time delivery system. Instead of attending classes that are broken into multiple sections spread throughout the week, we are initiating a system that has the student attending classes every school day. In addition, other shop hours are available to our students.
