You able to take the 103 class without the other two? Sounds interesting. Let's see if I get my back ordered 9mm by then.

Quote HistoryQuoted: You able to take the 103 class without the other two? Sounds interesting. Let's see if I get my back ordered 9mm by then. Per their web page : This course is Step 3 of 3 in our foundational handgun series. We strongly recommend Handgun 102 or equivalent before you attend Handgun 103. The student MUST know and be able to demonstrate how to safely load, fire, and unload a handgun as well as have demonstrated competence in working from a holster and performing reloads. Students failing to meet and maintain our safety requirements and/or who cannot meet and immediately demonstrate the minimum skills required for the specific class may be removed from training. Please ensure you have read through the class description and fully understand our prerequisites before registering. Also called to confirm you can sign up for 103 without the other classes but as stated above : The student MUST know and be able to demonstrate how to safely load, fire, and unload a handgun as well as have demonstrated competence in working from a holster and performing reloads. |

I had the HANDGUN 102 class yesterday at VCGHC. I really got a lot out of it and am looking forward to HANDGUN 103, next.
I didn't do the SSN/background check thing and they still let me take the class. The instructors said that Sig Academy has already decided to add more classes and they will be year round and not just seasonal (winter). I think it helps that several of their regular instructors are already local to the area. |

Also....the have ammo for the course!
$18 per 50rd box of SIG-brand FMJ. ($0.36 per round is a deal now.) They just charge the same credit card as was used to book the course. They only had 9mm, but that is what everybody had in the class. You don't have to buy their ammo, but even though I brought (and used) 250 rds of my own I still bought their ammo to replace what I used. Bring a mag loader, but don't pre-load. The drills are often with a specific number of rounds (we did 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 15rd mags). |

Going back through and it appears they may have changed the signup process as it looks like a CCW permit gets by having to do a background check.
Well, that sucks. The class i wanted is already sold out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well, that sucks. The class i wanted is already sold out. The instructors said that they could see more classes out to April scheduled for Florida. It's just not on their public website, yet. More class types are being added with this, too. There are supposed to be the "Skill Builder" (additional work on the prior classes drills before taking the next one) and HANDGUN 104 (Shooting-while-moving). Probably some others. I asked about carbine classes and was told they had to secure a guaranteed block of ammo before they could schedule it. (Where is all the effing ammo going?) |

SIG Academy just added 20+ more classes to the schedule, going out through the end of March.
Mix of more of the courses already scheduled and new courses of Handgun 104, 2 Skill Builders, another Red Dot class, and a specific Concealed Carry course. |

Nice, thinking about that red dot class assuming 1. My P320 FCG comes through so I can build the gun And 2. There’s any 9mm left in America by that time |

I actually e-mailed them last week about Handgun 104 and was told there are no plans for that class. ETA After reading the class descriptions, I think the 103 class seems to be more of what I am looking for. Not sure why these newly added classes are during the weekday. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 2. There’s any 9mm left in America by that time They have ammo available at the class (9mm SIG brand FMJ). It's optional to buy but they were selling it for less than current market rate ($18 per 50rd box) and just charged the same card as used to book the class. The instructor didn't know if the price would go up in 2021 but said they wouldn't schedule a class if they couldn't provide ammo. |

Thanks for the info. I've only bought their 10mm defensive ammo but it's been pretty good stuff. |

Based on the above I attempted to sign up using CCW permit but apparently you still need to provide the SSN.
How where you able to simply provide your CCW without having to submit your SSN? |

Ok, I am a computer guy and it just wasn't that intuitive.
Went back and first created an account (uploaded CCW photo) then went through the same steps while logged in. Going through this way and was able to register, but will wait to see if they come back indicating I didn't provide all necessary info. The class/date I wanted was sold out but then 1 slot opened up. |

Well, that didn't take long.
Due to not providing SSN I can't take the class. For those who claim they didn't provide one, did you just ignore that requirement and show up for the class anyway? |

How did you get told you couldn't take the class?
I filled out a user profile. Signed up for the class. Looked at the 3rd party website to do the background check and just didn't do it. |

Can anyone give deals on what is the difference between the Handgun 103 and the Skill Builder class?
|

I think Skill Builder 1 is more practice and execution of the drills from Handgun 103.

No idea how those getting to take the course are bypassing the background check.
They just dropped me from the class for not getting it done. |
