Frequently Asked Questions

After graduating from BLET, does the certification last indefinitely?
No. Graduates must be hired or "sworn-in" by a law enforcement agency within 12 months from their graduation date or the certification will expire. In summary, ANYONE who does not maintain a "sworn" status with an agency for a period of 12 months will see their BLET certification expire. BLET must be taken again in its entirety for re-certification.

What is the cost of taking the BLET program?
There is no charge for tuition for taking BLET. The student would be responsible for books, a physical examination and physical training uniforms. The costs of books, fees, and PT uniforms are approximately $630. This does not include the cost of a physical examination.

Am I assured of obtaining a job as a deputy or police officer upon graduation?
No. Once you have successfully completed BLET, you would then apply with a law enforcement agency for employment.
