DPSST ARMED REFRESHER COURSE

Oregon DPSST requires that the ARMED Refresher be 4 hours. RPG requires that all students who are not previously certified by RPG complete an additional 2 hours, for a total of 6 hours, in order to ensure that the student accurately and sufficiently reflects the standards of both DPSST and RPG. At the instructor's discretion, a waiver for the additional 2 hours may be granted provided the student has been previously certified through a RPG-approved instructor. The course is comprised of both lecture and range time.
