The TASER Training Academy is designed to provide training on the use of TASER brand electronic control devices. Training is geared toward the special needs of law enforcement officers, medical personnel, the military, private citizens and instructor certification. Force options and decision making, tactics, medical issues, weapon maintenance and personal safety are just a few of the topics covered in the offered courses.

Located at TASER International's headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, the TASER Training Academy features a state-of-the-art automated classroom facility complete with 40 desks equipped with power and wireless internet access, safety mats, and the Ti Training Use of Force Interactive Training Simulator.

Each agency is responsible for creating their own use of force policy and determining how TASER devices fit into their use of force policy based on legal and community standards.

Master instructor certification is valid for 2 years. To re-certify, you must attend the Master Instructor School in its entirety. The Master Instructor School is generally usually offered once a year in conjunction with the annual TASER Conference.

Instructor certification is valid for 2 years. To re-certify, the full Instructor Course must be attended.

User certification is valid for 1 year. Yearly re-certification consists of firing at least two live cartridges in addition to any departmental mandated training.

TASER International only needs the signed User Warnings, Risks, Liability Release and Covenant Not to Sue forms. All other certification documents, like the user test, user application and instructor evaluation form need to remain on file at your agency for your records.

You must register from one of the classes listed on the Training Events page of our website, www.TASER.com.  Please choose the link listed for that particular class.  Since you may not be registered in the system of Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC), you may have to “Create a New Agency”.  Once done, it will allow you to create students or manage students.  When all names and information is listed (please TAB through the fields), it will prompt you for a credit card payment.

 You will receive an email confirmation from NWTC with your username and password.  You must use those to gain access and complete the online block of training.  Online training will open three weeks from the practical days and close four days before the practical session.  You MUST complete each section at 100% in order to be admitted to the in-classroom portion of the training.  You can complete the online in sections, stopping and picking it up later if necessary.  If you have further questions, please feel free to contact TASER Training at Training@TASER.com.

Absolutely!  We do not require that your agency already have them before the instructor course is attended. It is a great idea to have someone already certified so that when your agency does purchase them, you have an instructor ready to train the officers at your agency.

No. Exposure during the Instructor Course is not required, it is voluntary.  TASER International also does not require officers to be exposed to a TASER device to be certified as a User.
