I went into my first class with Rasmik (or Mik) not knowing anything. I couldn't even load bullets :) By the end of the 8 hour course, I was able to perform fast-reload and shoot with a pretty good precision. Mik focuses heavily on safety - which I greatly appreciate. What I found exceptionally amazing was that after he went over a few of the important practical details about aiming, I shot 7 different guns - and had a pretty good shot in all of them. Remember, I didn't even know how to load bullets :) We also had great conversations about family safety, how to store the gun at home, where to buy it, conceal weapon permits and what other gear is necessary when purchasing your first handgun. This type of quality of the information and the practical experience would be impossible to gain from watching youtube videos or talking to a friend who owns a gun. I've tried. I would definitely recommend this course for anybody who wants to learn proper gun safety, and gain a great precision skill that you can further develop! P.S. Thanks Mik :) Had such a wonderful time and received a lot of encouragement from my wife and the rest of the family to further advance my skills! read more

Alright...I have spent a few years in the Public Services arena. So I know a smidgen about shooting. I will say this is some good training. Instructor is very knowledgeable of subject matter and can not only tell but can show you how it's done. Which is very important to me. Good teaching style, communicates effectively, cordial, and a bit of humor hear and there but not to much because we are there to shoot. It pretty much was just he and I out on the range that day for basic CCW class. However! If it were an advanced class, I'm positive I would have enjoyed it and in just a few hours he would have me where I should be. I pay a lot of attention to detail when instructing, and he hits those very well. Long story short... He's absolutely worth the money and the time... I will be utilizing him soon to dust off my boots for more advanced shooting. Remember, only a fool for a lawyer would defend himself. You need another sharp guy or lady to make you sharper.. read more

I took a whole-day training of "Basic Handgun Level 2" from Accuracy Firearm Training last Saturday. Razmik is an outstanding instructor, - he has expertise in firearms and knows how to transform his knowledge to students and help them build up skills effectively. Razmik pays great attention to safety; he looks out students and stays alert all the time through the long session, which makes me feel safe and comfortable in the class. What I like about his teaching is that he not only motives me but also challenges me to progress more, so that I can continuously correct mistakes and learn new skills. Razmik is an honest and straight-forward man; he'd clearly tell me what's I am doing right and wrong, and insist I correct mistakes. He had been very patient to help me cultivate good habits and skills with handguns. Overall, it is a significant learning experience, and I highly recommend Razmik and Accuracy Firearm Training. read more

From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and valued. The instructors were not only highly experienced professionals--many with military and law enforcement backgrounds--but also excellent "Military Instructors" who knew how to communicate complex information in a way that was easy to understand and apply in real-world scenarios. Food for thought, if you're a civilian, don't take it personally if they go hard on you, especially on Day 1 (the shocker and expectations), they are not being rude to you. It is just the military way, similar to Basic Military Style, where you're broken down and built back up each day as you learn about Security & Firearms. The curriculum was thorough and well-structured. It covered everything from basic firearm safety and marksmanship to situational awareness, legal use-of-force principles, and de-escalation techniques. What stood out most was the emphasis on responsibility and professionalism. This wasn't just about getting certified; it was about preparing to be a reliable, ethical, and capable security professional if you plan to be an armed or unarmed security professional. The hands-on firearms training was especially impressive. The instructors (Gunny & JB) ensured every student received personalized guidance on the range at Placer Sporting Club, and their attention to safety protocols was top-notch both in class to prep every single student and on the range. Whether you're a complete beginner or have prior experience, the instruction is tailored to help you improve and build confidence. I also appreciated how the academy supported students beyond the classroom. They offered career advice, resume guidance, and even job placement assistance. They are committed to the long-term success of their graduates. The facility itself was clean, organized, and well-equipped with modern training tools and a professional learning environment. Scheduling was flexible, which made it easier for those of us balancing other responsibilities. Overall, I highly recommend SAFTA to anyone serious about entering the security industry or improving their skills. The training I received was not only top-tier but also instilled in me a sense of pride and responsibility in serving and protecting others. Highly recommend for veterans, especially if you just recently completed your active duty contract, and need a steady paycheck that pays well with benefits while you're also going to school using your GI Bill.

I booked my renewal with Morgan as he had a very affordable price range, going into it with low…read moreexpectations, assuming I would get what I pay for. The class met at a round table pizza in one of their side party rooms, and there was only two of us in the class, again what should I expect for such a great price? Morgan was on time and very friendly, and got everything set up. The material covered and instruction given was very casual but thorough. Unlike many renewal classes with other companies, Morgan didn't have a cocky tough guy know it all attitude which made the class enjoyable. The amount of information and material he covered was great, and it took the entire class time. A bonus to meeting at Round Table was the lunch, which he paid for as part of the class so that was unexpected and nice. We met a separate day at the range to qualify with each handgun and he booked it so our time was 1-on-1 which I really appreciated. Again, he was extremely knowledgeable and safe, but still didn't give off that cocky know it all taught guy vibe. The instruction he gave, tips and guidance to improve grip, stance and other areas was extremely helpful. I have already recommended his class to multiple friends and I will definitely book with him again at my next renewal.

Morgan is a great instructor! The 16-hour CCW course was extremely informative, well-organized, and…read moresafe. Morgan explained laws, safety, and real-life scenarios in a clear and practical way. Range training was excellent, and I left feeling confident and prepared. Highly recommend.

Eagle Defense

James from Eagle Defense is wonderful. He is very knowledgable, patient, helpful, and just a great…read moreinstructor over all. He doesn't just give you the basics; he will give you hands on knowledge about real world practical application on how the law applies instead of regurgitating legal jargon. I tool took my 1st CCW class a little over a year ago from a competitor for over double the price & I walked away with less than half of what James (Eagle Defense) taught. I took the recertification class from Eagle Defense last month for $30 (other want over $100). Then I did a mod certification for my new Sig last weekend for $10. These guys are basically giving knowledge & time away for free. If you are on the fence because of the low price, don't hesitate. These guys are very knowledgeable & well worth triple what they charge. Hurry & run to their next class before the price goes up.
