OPOTA Firearms & Private Security Courses
Bee-Safe® provides OPOTA firearms training for professionals who need recognized instruction, clear standards, and a course environment that takes performance seriously.
This Training Is Not Built for a Checkbox
A certificate matters. Performance matters more. Bee-Safe® runs OPOTA training with clear expectations, real standards, and practical instruction designed to build confidence, discipline, and better performance on the range. People leave qualified. They should also leave sharper than when they arrived.
Who This Training Is For
These courses are built for private security professionals who need initial certification or requalification, and for law enforcement personnel who need firearm requalification. If your role requires you to qualify, requalify, or stay current, Bee-Safe® provides the structure, instruction, and standards to get it done right.
Why Train with Bee-Safe®
Because weak instruction wastes time and creates bad habits. Bee-Safe® provides serious OPOTA training for students who want clear direction, strong standards, practical firearms instruction, and a course environment focused on safety, readiness, and successful completion. Going somewhere else for an easier day is the wrong mindset. Train where the standard is taken seriously.
What You Need to Know Before You Attend
Show up prepared. Bring the required firearm, ammunition, gear, identification, and documentation for the course you are attending. Bee-Safe® makes expectations clear up front, including attendance requirements, dress standards, required paperwork, and disqualifying issues, so there is no confusion on training day.

Training Standards Matter
Not all training environments are the same. Bee-Safe® treats OPOTA instruction like it matters, because it does. Safety matters. Preparation matters. Performance matters. Standards matter. That is exactly why serious professionals train here.
