Oliver and the team where excellent in my Certified Firearms Training this weekend. I was in the…read moreclass with only 2 other women but the staff took the time to explain all the information to me. There were ex police and veterans in the class and I felt a little intimidated by their experience and knowledge. Oliver and the staff each were instrumental in providing me with the necessary guidance that I needed. The class was well structured and the information was presented in a way that was beneficial to all. I live in North Carolina and I will recommend this class to my friends and family. When I posted that I was a certified firearms instructor, I got 10 women that wanted to sign up for my class. Great, Great, and again Great class.

The Valken Group arrived at my house just past 8:00 a.m., and when the team left 5.5 hours later,…read moremy understanding of firearms skyrocketed. I cannot recommend these guys with any higher praise. In one session, "Advanced Session Two," I went from knowing the basics of firearms to now having the tactical knowledge and high confidence in how to best handle and employ my firearms. Scott, my instructor -and also the Valken Group founder and CEO- walked me through every room of my house, instructed me on how best to take tactical positions, how to retreat, where to take cover, how, when, and where I would have to switch to my weak-side shooting hand to best keep the bad guys at bay. After completing the "Advanced Session Two" course, I went from a guy with a gun to a guy who pities the fool who tries to break into his house. It won't be a fair fight. Not even close. This is not overconfidence. Let me explain more about what I learned. First. Let me back up a minute. The Valken Group comes to your house anywhere in Georgia! They set up these backstops, target posts, and shell-catching side panels. No one else in the United States provides this kind of in-home instruction. This is where it gets super cool. Scott opened up this beautiful case loaded with modified Glock 17s. Check out the photo, especially the mags. The rounds are not packed with gun powder. They are called "Simunition," a non-lethal training ammo that allows you to shoot anywhere without the constraints and dangers of using live ammo (imagine shooting 150 rounds of 9mm inside your house). The military uses Simunition to go "Force-on-Force," allowing it to get as realistic as possible to real-life fire fights. The Simunition itself, as I understand it, are rounds packed with nothing more than air pressure, and the bullet is this little putty-like stuff that won't even penetrate a thick sheet of plastic. You learn to shoot in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Everything is tailored to your goals. From first-time gun owners to advanced folks looking for professionalization skills, the Valken Group will develop a program within their course offerings to ensure you achieve your specific goals. I signed up for the "Advanced Session Two" and let the guys know that I also had specific interests in close protection. Scott led me through multiple drills. By the end of the day, I knew how to hit multiple small areas on a target, I knew how to shoot controlled pairs, I knew how to count my shots, I knew how to do tactical and essential mag changes, I knew how to release the slide rack while staying on target, I knew how to move from different ready positions to firing accurately and rapidly. My knowledge, ability, and confidence have increased in ways I did not think were possible with a single day of drills. Scott also left me with drills to practice on my own. I wish there were a way to heap even more praise on the Valken Group. I signed my girlfriend and her dad up for training in March. I am going to take the next level course in January. Thank you, Scott and Jeff. I had a great day and I learned an immense amount about how to protect myself and my family when our lives are on the line.

Just finished the 7 day course on futures trading, instructed by Michelle…read more This course was intense, since there is such a wide scope of trading considerations in the futures environment. Michelle, the master of all, took us through the various trades - oil, beef, currencies, indexes, precious metals, corn, et al. Each has distinct attributes, but all can be done in the trading environment. Michelle would spend half the time instructing, and half the time making us actually create and execute trade tickets in a simulated market environment. So at the end of the course, I walked out knowing what i don't know and how to stay on the course to become a trader. The facility is great, the beverages and snacks give some energy, lunch is free and choices of sandwiches and salads. I highly recommend this course of instruction for those who desire. I can't imagine how it could be any better than the OTA approach. Also, cudos to the front desk - Ashton and Brittany - for keeping us on track throughout the week.

The 2nd hour, we practiced with 4 types of handguns in the shooting range. Also learned a bit about the legalities and GA laws about firearms. Previous: The Women's Handgun 101 class was good & very helpful. I feel better prepared & will practice the firearm basics I learned.

The class was from 8-10AM and by the time everyone was settled and ready for the course, it started about 5 minutes later. We went over the basics of pistols, the laws surrounding it, and how to get our gun permit in the state of GA. We also all learned how to load a magazine with bullets. Then we all got to shoot two magazines with 9mm handguns. Very informative. Though I was tired, I got some pretty good shots and left the class more educated about the gun laws in my state than I did when I got there.

John Dokos really knows the material and stays up to date with the demands of the exam as it evolves over time. Not only does he grab your attention from the beginning of the class to the very end, he also provides expert feedback and guidance on the application process, which is a requirement in order to take the PMP. I took this course in July of 2026, and I passed my PMP September 2026.
