She combines a firearm safety and fundamental course with aspects of best practices of practical gun ownership. Since one reason this course is taken is get a CCW, she makes it clear this is a basic course and much more training is needed before you carry. The simulator training was excellent, combining target shooting and basic drills to improve gun handling. Tammie's perspective and experience make this course interesting and well worth taking.

Very personable, down to earth and relates to all of the candidates no matter the age, life experience, socio economic, etc. He is a veteran and relays experience and makes it relevant.

This class was flat out fun and informative and enjoyable. I will likely be taking additional classed at NOVA Marksmanship Academy.

The course was extremely hands on, with detailed one on one instruction.

I also want to point out that if your child is physically able, have them attend too. No one is too young to save a life.

Jim Nida is an outstanding instructor hands-down. My wife, daughter and I attended his training,…read morewhich he adjusted to meet our busy schedules, and provided some the most professional yet personable training I've personally have ever participated in. His course is set within the NRA standards and he used his extensive law enforcement background to provide a very grounded approach to handgun orientation, safety, and firing. He dealt with three very different levels of experience within the same class and made it enjoyable and educational at the same time. He is patient and thoughtful with all his students and made both my wife and daughter feel totally at ease; no pressure, no games, no judgment. I would highly recommend him to anyone of any skill level seeking CCW accredited training or for more advanced skills; which we all agreed we will be calling him for soon. A great experience for all levels of proficiency; beginner to advance.

After just 2 hours in the classroom, I felt confident and prepared to head to the range with the instructor and try out what I had learned. Jim Nida is professional and clearly experienced at what he does, and makes an excellent instructor, especially for beginners. I received a certificate from attending his course that will allow me to apply for my Virginia concealed carry permit. I will be back to take more lessons from him on more specific skills (of my choosing, which is even better!). I will be recommending Handgun Academy Va to everyone I know, and anyone who is interesting in learning how to shoot. As a woman, it's important that I can feel protected, and thanks to Jim I feel like I can defend myself and handle weapons accurately and safely.
