How many attempts do BLET students have to pass the handgun and combat course qualifications?

The requirement for BLET students to pass the handgun and combat course qualifications stipulates that they have two out of three attempts for both the handgun and the combat courses. This structure allows students to demonstrate proficiency while also accounting for the possibility of minor errors or unforeseen circumstances during their attempts. The configuration of having two attempts provides a balanced opportunity for students to improve and succeed, thus ensuring they meet the necessary skills competency without being unduly stressed by the pressure of a single attempt. This approach reflects the training goals of ensuring both safety and skill in firearms handling, which are critical components of the law enforcement occupational training.
