State Certified Course/Trainer

In regards to Firearms Instructors, GPSTC only certifies LE personnel. It is not a school that civilians can attend to obtain a Firearms Instructor certification.
 
There is no legal requirement in GA for someone to be "certified" to hang out a shingle as a "firearms instructor" and start teaching classes to private citizens, and there is no specified state course for students.

The Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council oversees training and certifications for all peace officers in Georgia, and it certifies instructors to teach classes for peace officers.

The Georgia Secretary of State certifies instructors to teach courses for security guards.
