Nor-Cal Training Academy

Super mellow. For a place where you take certification classes to arrest people and carry firearms, it’s so laid back and homey. It literally IS a home, albeit one laced with cameras and security measures.
Part of the tranquility is the time. Be patient and chill as you wait for people to arrive and things to get started as much as an hour and a half after you expected. Yet this same no-​hurries-​no-​worries ambiance makes the classes and tests a thorough learning experience — each piece of information is very calmly explained (and re-​explained) till your questions are cleared up and you understand.
Show up well-​rested and alert. The sessions go for the entire morning and afternoon, though it’s not uncommon to end early. Good luck.
