World class firearm safety course by Alex! My girls and I cannot recommend him highly enough. My…read morewife has held a weapon once in her life, and my daughter had only fired a few rifles 2 to 3 times with friends. I am former military, but terribly out of practice when it comes to weapons and took the opportunity to join my wife and daughter in a refresher course. The three of us took Firearms for Absolute Beginners with Alex and were incredibly pleased with the results. We spent four full hours combing through the basics. He walked us through how semi automatic pistols and revolvers work, showed us how bullets work, gave us a fantastic lesson on the different calibers and types, and we spent almost an hour, practicing loading and unloading weapons safely. My wife went from being a nervous wreck to being relaxed and comfortable around a handgun, and my daughters confidence grew tenfold. I picked up some terrific tips for proper stance and grip, which showed immediate results on the range. The following day I practiced with my 9mm and noticed a significant improve in my shot group. If you're new to handguns or just need a refresher course so that you can get comfortable with them again, I strongly recommend Jones firearm training. Alex was infinitely patient with our silly questions and helped foster a comfortable atmosphere where the entire family was able to learn.

While I was happy my immediate phone call to 911 got the paramedics there pretty quickly, I felt helpless and wish there was more we could have done. (there was - we just weren't 100% sure as to what) Which is what lead us to BTS. We took the Basic Plus CPR, AED, & First Aid for Adults class on Sunday. It was a thorough class and answered so many questions we had. I feel much better equipped mentally and emotionally to be able to handle a situation if it arises again. Shawn's personal stories of her experience were really helpful anecdotes to remembering things. She's very knowledgeable and professional. I definitely would recommend this class. It's worth the time & money.

But with my new job in a clinic, I couldn't make it to their bi-annual BLS class so I had to look for external instructors. Annette was impressive. She knew a lot more than I expected her to and she imparted a lot of extra information, tips, for when you need to perform CPR, BLS, or if an adult/child is choking, that only a paramedic, nurse, or doctor with experience would know. I never got that specialized information from the people who worked for the hospitals teaching CPR/BLS. She is professional and organizes her class very well, so you get all the information from AHA, and you do all the different simulations, within the shortest period of time. She responded very quickly to my emails and she helped me save money as well. I highly recommend her.

I plan to take more classes and continue range training as often as possible.

This provider is a short walk from Trimet in the Gateway area. They provided snacks, coffee, tea and water as well as cushioned chairs.

Tim is an excellent trainer as he really understands the material and which pieces are the most important to understand and remember in a crisis situation. He met us where we were at, always polite and respectful and taking time to get to know us a bit. I highly recommend taking training here and I hope to return in the future!
