Important information  before booking

The initial 24-hour training involves three weekly training days, and renewal sessions involve 8-hours of training. Please get in touch with us to arrange personalized days of instruction, including virtual training.

Upon completion of the armed SORA training, the applicant will be eligible for firearms training if they possess the required documents from the state.

Before an applicant can undergo firearms training and carry a firearm in NJ, they must possess the following:

  1. An NJ Firearms Identification Card

  2. Own a firearm. If you don't own a weapon, you must obtain a handgun purchasing permit from the local municipal police department to purchase a gun.

  3. A valid photo ID

  4. Have a permit to carry a weapon. You will obtain the carry application from the local police department.

 

Additionally, the New Jersey State Police has authorized "virtual training" for SORA candidates. Prospective students should contact our office for more information. If you are an interested prospective student, you must supply the following for the virtual training course:

  • Before starting the "virtual/online" training process, a valid government photo identification and a valid SORA Temp/Application number card.

  • Additionally, students must send a digital photo to their instructor before starting the training course.

In addition, a student considering the virtual online course must use the following:

  • a desktop or laptop computer with a web camera

  • Download the free Zoom application.

Due to its unique training, our main office is the site for the in-person CPR Training since it requires hands-on proficiency demonstration. So please call before registration.

So that you know, you must attend the initial training session to receive your SORA and CPR Certifications. 

If you cannot attend a class due to unseen events or emergencies, please contact us at least 8 hours before class. Just letting us know of your absence will help us reschedule the course to finish your certification. 

If you miss one class without notice, you will forfeit your certification, and your payment will be non-refundable. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: REFUND POLICY:

CPS Training will provide its services in good faith. No refunds upon completion of the training service, and the applicant is responsible for ensuring all information entered into the New Jersey State Police (NJSP) web portal is accurate and correct. CPS Training will not be liable for nor give a refund for any error made during the NJSP application process, nor will a refund be given if the NJSP declines to issue a SORA license to the applicant. 

 

Additionally, there is no refund if the applicant fails to meet the state-mandated firearms qualifications. However, they may qualify for a partial refund, minus the non-refundable registration fees, if the applicant provides documentation to CPS Training about unforeseen circumstances that may prevent an applicant from completing the training. Payment for training services represents an understanding and acceptance of this refund policy.
