- Listed under your state on the trainer page

Questions
Anything else? Email info@pompepperspray.com or call 800-695-4791.
Is it free?
Yes. No fees and no contract. Your listing stays up as long as the link to our Resource Center does.
How long until I'm listed?
Once your link is up, we check it and add your listing. We'll email you when it's live.
How do I add the link to my website?
It takes about two minutes and no coding. Our step-by-step guide covers WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy and Shopify, and has a note you can forward if someone else runs your site.
How does trainer pricing work?
Once you're approved, we email you our order form with trainer pricing on practice units and live units. It's also in your trainer toolkit. Send it back when you're ready to order for a class and we'll take it from there.
What happens if the link comes down?
We check links every few months. If we can't find yours, your listing comes off the page until the link is back. Email us when it is and we'll put you back up.
Do I have to teach pepper spray?
No. Any self-defense trainer can apply: self-defense schools, women's safety, Krav Maga, firearms and CCW, and martial arts.
How do I become a POM Certified Instructor?
Pass the POM OC Instructor course, then send us your certificate number. We'll add the badge to your listing until your certificate's expiry date.
Does a listing mean POM endorses my school?
Listed trainers are independent businesses. A listing means you link to our resources; POM doesn't employ or supervise listed trainers.
