As a non-leo and non-gun store employee, can I take the glock armorers course? Does Glock hold these classes in different locations, or only in Ga? Tried searching but I couldn't come up with much

I took the armors course about 3 years ago, not sure about your area but even as an LEO I had to wait over a year to get in a class. I will say that the class was great, the instructer was a very knowledable and a pretty neat guy to talk to during lunch. I leared alot about the history of the Glock company.  However other than having someone there to help you right away if you ran into a problem, you could learn just about everything I did from buying one of the vids or books on total Glock maint. They are not that hard to figure out.

I dont know this for sure, but I have heard that if a Class is not full anyone can attend for the $100 fee. I would go with Hot Rods suggestion first.

Did you have Doneburgh? I had him last year. He was a wealth of knowledge.

I get to go in March, I think it says that Burke is the instructor.

There is one here in my area in March or April, it is the Glock Armorer/Instructor Course, 3-4 days.  My Chief signed me up for it, it is LE only, and cost is $375.  I would think that the Armorer only course would be for anyone that wanted to pay the cost of admission.

No Glock won't let you in unless your an LE or work for a Glock stocking dealer. (Unless perhaps you know someone.) There is a gunsmithing school in Denver that hosts one, and the students there get all the open seats.

They will also allow you to attend if you are Military.
