Gentlemen, Is there any interest in attending a Glock Armorer Course in 2009?. If there is interest, among the forum members, I will arrange for a Factory Glock Course asap in the greater Boston area (Northshore). I need to prove interest, before I engage in arrangements. I can't book a course, with the hopes of "tire-kickers", and then have everything go "Tits-up". I can Do.....but will only Do with serious interest.

Do you have a ballpark price, course hours, and maybe a curriculum you could post? That would help people make a more educated decision.
From what I've read sometimes they're restricted to LE or dealers by Glock themselves.

Yes, Sorry sometimes I assume too much. For Glock Armorer course, check the Glock website, for course info. Course cost will be tailored to the facility and # of students. "LE required" - I can tangle with that, once determination of interested parties. I would like to gauge interest before moving forward.
I'm 95% in!

My certification from Glock has a couple of years left, but I can highly recommend this course. If you get a chance ask for Mark Doneburgh as the instructor. I've taken the class 4 times (certs expire every few years), and Mark does an exceptional job.
I am very interested in taking the course. Please count me in, but pending further details regarding date/time/cost I cannot commit 100% at this time.
I would prefer weekend class time if at all possible.

I'd be in for this, pending date approval. Weekend would be best for me.

I could do $150 ![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
I'm in!
good progress
OK, Some good responses and levels of commitment. I have interest with some MA State Police, Local City Police, Local Aux. Police, Massport Police, and National Guard. So, this might have good legs. Let this post run for a couple more days, give some more people a chance to position themselves.

These classes are generally held during the week, and often in conjunction with police only instructor workshops. The only civilian dominated class I am aware of is the one that is generally done just before the Shot Show. If the organizer can get Glock to do a course and allow persons without the necessary LE or stocking dealer status to attend, this would represent a rare opportunity.
I'm interested too. Just depends on the day, the price is fine.

Time for some clues:
1. The Glock factory training is open only to LE and stocking dealers.
2. If you get them to offer a course admitting NES members, that will be a GREAT accomplishment, for which Glock should be thanked and you should be congratulated.
3. Trying to get Glock to do a course on a weekend, particularly if there will be police attendees as well (remember, this is a work day for them) is pushing it. If Glock offers to do a weekday course, the appropriate response is not "Gee, my non-LEO, non-dealers forum members would like a weekend course" but rather than "Thanks, I'll see you there".

Which is specifically why I added the caveat to my response.
Thanks for the continued Interest.
As to Point#1. I took the course as Military. "ONLY" is sometimes defeatable and relative.
As to Point#2. I am not trying to do an NES Glock Course. I am checking interest levels and feasability of sponsoring/conducting a Factory Glock Armorer Course. For which, I anticipate participants from LE (State and Local), Military, Gun Dealer, and "Gun Guys" from a place like NES. Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but I have a plan in mind. A plan which might just work. In point of fact, the LE participation is the toughest to count. Because the LE guys say - YES I'M there!. And then they (LE) get the Police Detail call or Overtime call for a $300.00 - $500.00 day, and blow off the training.
As to Point #3. The proposed date would be over a Weekend. The expected majority of LE attendees would be Massachusetts LE. LE in Massachusetts, have what WE call "Details". Those "Details" pay $300.00 or more, and are mostly done on typical week-days (m-f). Details are less available on Weekends, Thus LE is more apt to attend training on the weekend, because chances are they can't work or get a "Detail" anyway. See comments Point#2. So, I'm Not "Pushing It" as sugested. Look around on the MA. Roads: Weekday- LE doing Details everywhere, with every work crew in sight, Verizon,Comcast,Water Dept.,Light Dept.,Highway Dept., National Grid, DPW...ETC. Weekend- LE hopes a water pipe breaks, hopes the VFW has a wedding reception, hopes a telephone pole goes down, all so "They" can collect a payday.
Keep up the good work. Convince ME....that this is worth doing.
