Mr. Scott Sampson is an AWESOME instructor and has my highest recommendation…read more We were given the tasks, conditions, and standards. Scott made sure that we understood the subjects, practiced hands-on, student led briefing, emergency procedures, and provided relevant information. I was impressed by Scott's knowledge, skills, attitude, and professionalism. The extra bonus is that you are welcomed in his private classroom with open arms, participate, ask questions, and take notes. Training was done to standards and students were given adequate time to go over hands-on portion of the training. Keep up the great job!!

I've always wanted to learn about using handguns for home defense, but didn't know where to begin…read more I discovered Scott's Handgun Fundamentals Class and decided to attend, but I wasn't sure what to expect. I was amazed! His class appeals to the visual, tactile, and auditory learning styles. He had an arsenal of teaching tools he used for demonstration, all of which didn't involve live fire. He showed me the different types of handguns, ammunition, how to load and unload them, what to do in the event of a malfunction, how to fire them safely, and how to store them safely. I never knew that when handling your firearm, pointing it towards a wall is not necessarily a safe direction. Scott informed me that bullets can go through multiple walls. That's not what you see on TV. When we reached the range for live fire, I felt a bit nervous, but Scott had taught me so much by that point that I felt more comfortable than I would have otherwise. He walked me through all the steps he had taught me in the classroom, which reinforced the safety aspects. Scott took his time with me and made me feel completely safe. That made all the difference! I tackled my fears head-on and discovered a level of confidence I didn't know I had! My journey did not stop there! I decided to take his concealed carry immersion class, which took my skills to the next level while reinforcing the basics. This time, I had an idea of what to expect. What I didn't know was how much more there was to learn, especially if you are considering carrying a handgun for self-defense. This was also a two-day class like the Fundamentals one I had taken. The amount of information he taught me, coupled with scenario training using his simulator, really brought everything together. My goal was to be a responsible gun owner and know what to do if I encountered a home defense-type situation. Scott's methods of teaching and his ability to combine lectures with hands-on learning far exceeded my expectations. Not only did I achieve my goal, but I still wanted to learn more! Since then, I have taken his coaching lessons, Stop the Bleed course, Less than Lethal, Refuse to be a Victim, a USCCA mini use of deadly force class, a US LawShield class he sponsored, and attended his Women on Target event. Thanks to Scott, I have empowered myself with the knowledge I need to help myself stay safe. When I go to the range now, I feel confident! I am so grateful for Scott's guidance and thrilled about all I've learned.

I would recommend calling this company if you need to become Basic life support certified or are…read moreneeding any other health provider certification such as ACLS or PALs. The gentleman that owns the business is so kind and pleasant. He is very understanding of people who have to reschedule during our pandemic. Currently there is a $15 fee if you can't make your scheduled class time. I like that they offer classes on Saturdays. Their website makes it easy to sign up and they sell the updated BLS book version in class and online. Purchasing the book was not required for my class. The instructor was amazing and made the time feel like it flew by. Kathy was informative, funny and had a way of explaining things so that the information was easy to understand and retain. The classroom, mannequins and the ambu bags were clean. You are given the option of hands on practicing with the AED since there is only one machine for the entire class. Hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes were available. The classroom is fairy small but the chairs are spaced out for social distancing and masks are required. I look forward to taking my next certification at this establishment!

She understood we were there for recertification so she skipped the basic and we dove right in. The mannequins used are state of the art and the classes small which adds a more personal touch.
