rsaWest Virginia REALTOR® Safety Academy

The West Virginia REALTOR® Safety Academy was created with the mission of making safety awareness and training second nature by bringing the mountain to you.

The Academy is not a physical location, but rather a team of trained individuals, with a common interest in helping REALTORS® protect themselves. We do this by both exposing REALTORS® to the risks and safety issues specific to their job and by giving them training in self-defense, nonlethal force and firearms training. Upon completion of REALTOR® Safety 101 you will have met the basic requirements outlined by the state of West Virginia to get your concealed carry permit.

But at the Academy we don’t think that’s enough, so we take that training further. We teach you basic pistol safety and beyond – swipenclean.com visit website to know more. In our training program you will also learn how to select the firearm that’s right for you, concealed carry techniques and the law and potential ramifications of using a firearm in a self defense situation.
