Virginia DCJS security officer training

These are the classes that get you licensed and keep you licensed in Virginia. No filler, no wasted hours. Each one meets the DCJS compulsory minimum training standard and ends with the paperwork you submit for your registration, and we help you file it so you are not left guessing. Each class name below links to its own page.

Firearms and concealed carry classes

Our firearms training is about more than the job. We teach the Virginia concealed carry (CHP) class that meets the state permit requirement in one in-person session, so you leave with the certificate the courthouse wants. Want to go deeper, at your own pace? Our private firearms instruction is one-on-one, for first-time owners through experienced shooters, and includes NRA courses.

Why Fidus

Why train with Fidus

Our instructors are DCJS certified and have worked in the field they teach. Classes stay small enough for real instruction and trigger time, not a crowded room and a slideshow.

  • DCJS certified instructors who have done the job
  • Small classes with real trigger time
  • Ready for the job, not just the test
  • We handle the DCJS paperwork with you

On-site training

Where we train

We are based in Manassas, but our training does not stop at the county line. Our DCJS and firearms classes serve students across Northern Virginia and reach through Virginia and into Maryland, and we are expanding our instructor certifications into DC and West Virginia. For law enforcement, government, and corporate clients, we bring the training to you, in state or out, nationally and internationally. If you need a program somewhere, ask us. The answer is usually yes.

Law enforcement, government, and corporate training

When an agency or a company needs real training, we build it and bring it to them. Active-threat exercises, specialized firearms and tactics, and more, scheduled to your needs and delivered at your location, in or out of state. Tell us what your team needs to be ready for and we will scope it.

Training for churches and organizations

We train groups of every kind, including church safety team training, plus active-threat response, de-escalation, CPR, and first aid. We come to you and build it around your people and your building, because that is how the training actually sticks.
