Within two weeks before the class, a refund will not be given; however, the class may be rescheduled for another class anytime within the next 6 months, subject to the class schedule and availability of seats in each class. Within 48 hours of a class, the participant may notify ASDI that they will not be attending the class and choose to reschedule for another class within the next 6 months with a rescheduling fee and, subject to the class schedule and availability of seats in each class. The rescheduling fee is $20 for Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Arizona Concealed Carry classes taught in their respective state, $40 for Utah Concealed Carry Classes taught outside the state of Utah, and 40% of the class fee for any other courses, classes, or private training. Any student who has already been transferred previously waives their right to a refund and will be subject to the rescheduling fee for each subsequent transfer, regardless of how far away the class is they are registered for. Failure to arrive at class without prior notification will result in the loss of all fees and/or prepayments.

Live Ammunition

For the safety of the students and the instructor, live ammunition is strictly prohibited from all ASDI classrooms and lecture halls. Live ammunition is allowed at the portions of classes held on or at shooting ranges; ammunition must be left in its box until the instructor or range safety officer instructs the participants of the class to remove it.  Any student not following the instructor or range safety officers’ directions may be removed without refund or reimbursements.

Class Cancelations

ASDI rarely cancels scheduled classes, but on occasion, classes have been canceled due to insufficient registrations or other reasons. ASDI may at its discretion cancel any class for any reason. Free class transfers will be given to students, with paid registrations, directly impacted by a class cancelation. In the event of a cancelation due to force majeure, such as but not limited to weather, a rapidly spreading virus, pandemic, or natural disaster, the class will be rescheduled, and free class transfers offered. Class refunds will not be given for class cancelations due to force majeure, such as but not limited to weather, a rapidly spreading virus, pandemic, or natural disaster.

Course Completion

Most courses end with some sort of certification or certificate of completion. Leaving a class early or failing to complete/pass required tests may preclude a student from receiving such certifications. These certifications may come in the form of an instructor’s signature on an application, instructor’s stamp on an application, a physical certificate, or a digital certification depending on the course taken and applicable laws. Failure to complete or pass a course does not entitle a student to a refund. If a student attends and passes a course but does not receive their certification, by their fault or otherwise, ASDI will make reasonable accommodations to make sure the student receives said certification. Such accommodations may require the student to meet an instructor in person or mail, at the student’s expense, their application to the appropriate instructor. Instructors will attempt to meet the student or mail back a completed certification in a reasonable time frame. Depending on the location of the students and instructor, mail may be the only way to complete such certification. If an application is submitted to attend another class or receive a permit, wherein such certification is required, and the application is rejected, ASDI shall not be held responsible for the student’s failure to obtain said certifications. ASDI shall not be held responsible for rejected applications, for any reason.

ASDI courses fees only cover the course and other associated services but do not include any fee required by state or federal governments for prepossessing or background checks, all of those fees can be paid directly by the applicant to the appropriate Agency, Bureau, Etc. It is the applicant's responsibility to make sure that any such fees are paid in the appropriate time frame as to not delay or cause a denial of their application.
