They're specific about requirements: If you fail a qualification, you may get a reduced-rate code to retake at the instructor's discretion. Second failure requires full-price re-registration. Out-of-state armed licenses don't count—Arizona requires an Arizona-issued card regardless of prior training.
Annual training for armed guards is mandatory (8-hour refresher every calendar year). The refresher covers mental conditioning, tactics, use of force review, statutes review, and shooting qualification.
