Don’t Settle For Poor Firearms Training

Take the time to check out your Instructor, look at their certifications, how long have they been involved in training. Ask around see what other people know about them.

One of the biggest markets in Firearms training are CCW classes, and there are a lot of Instructors that became Instructors because they saw $$ signs, and usually only have the certifications, to conduct classes.

An example might be comparing what a "Pistol" Instructor has to offer compared to a "Pistol, PPITH, & PPOTH " Instructor has to offer.

Below is a list of guidelines when shopping for training:

How to decide which trainer to go with:
Does the Instructor have time to discuss the course?
How Long has the Instructor Been Training?
How Often Does the Instructor do Training?
What is the Instructor/Student Ratio in the classroom?
What is the Instructor/Student Ratio on the range?
What % of women does he train?
Does he work with other Instructors?
What will be covered in the Class?
Ask them about his/her Credentials
Can they reference where to find the laws for self defense & concealed carry?
Will he give references?
Ask if they are insured.

Prices can vary, but don't chose a course on price alone!
Not all Instructors are the same, interview them, & see what they offer.
Do they have the knowledge, skills, & attitude you are looking for?

*Cheap Can Be Expensive
