    I came across Safety Academy USA and after looking for a Women's Handgun & Self defense Class. I…read morewas thoroughly impressed with all the training that they had to offer. Their firearm safety course is extremely reasonable in price and is conveniently located in Beverly at the Cummings Center. Our instructors were Mike Pelonzi and Cory Daras. Mike has had several years under his belt in law enforcement experience and training. Cory Daras is a trained nurse, nurse educator and a Marine Veteran. She brings her passion for caring for others to a personalized gun safety course. Both Mike and Cory, with their sense of humor, delivered an exceptional firearm safety class. Mike and Cory are extremely passionate about firearm safety, public safety and very knowledgeable about past and current gun laws. Cory ensures that after you take her class you walk out with insight on personal safety, and situational awareness options to protect yourself and loved ones from potential threats. Mike and Cory's class was by far the best firearm safety training I have ever received. I look forward to going back to them for future firearms training as well as first aid and CPR training that the academy also provides. If you choose Safety Academy USA you will not be disappointed!

Mike ensures that after you take his class you walk out with insight on gun safety, gun laws and other non lethal options to protect yourself and loved ones from potential threats.

I look forward to going back to Mike for future firearms training as well as first aid and CPR training that his academy also provides. If you choose Safety Academy USA you will not be disappointed!

    Pretty lame presentation for a very serious subject. The instructor was too loose in the…read morepresentation of the material and did not give any meaningful technical details RE gun safety. For example- he never mentioned that you must drop the clip then rack the slide in any auto- a very common cause of accidental gun shootings. The simulator was silly. In all, I would not recommend the course- especially at the price.

    Took an evening firearm safety class in late December 2014, and received the certificate at the…read moreend. We did not use the police simulator (in fact, it was never mentioned or offered to us). As someone who is fairly familiar with firearms, I think I learned what I need to obtain a license, but I can't imagine that a novice would have walked away feeling very confident. The instructor, John G., was a friendly guy and was very entertaining...at first. He had a very loose style, choosing to just talk to us instead of show any of the slides or videos on his laptop. This would have been fine, but he tended to go off on tangents, ramble on about his personal views and stories that didn't have much to do with the class, and would spend precious minutes trying to work up to his next joke. He also spoke to us as if everyone was familiar with All Things Firearm, and by the end of the second hour some the attendees were clearly becoming agitated. The class began with an announcement that Massachusetts gun laws were changing as of January 1st, but then he just moved on from there, offering no further information (a hand out or something describing the changes would have been helpful). He also spent a fair amount of time promoting websites of his friends and telling us why the NRA is not racist. After two hours, there was a break and when we returned, we received more of the same. The topics seemed very random, and after a very long story about how he is great at reading people followed by a few Bill Clinton and OJ Simpson jokes (because it is 1998, apparently), he finally got around to just showing us a bunch of videos in rapid-fire succession, with little to no context. Then the class was over, and we spent the next half hour standing in line so he could sign our certificates saying we took the class. This may sound like I'm hating on this instructor and class, but let me reiterate that he was a friendly and somewhat entertaining guy, and took time (sometimes way too much time) to answer questions. But he really needs to work on the whole "instructing" thing. It's an extremely complex topic that requires dissemination of very specific information, and I don't feel that was what we received.

    I took the Basic Firearms Safety Course last Saturday with a couple friends, and it was great. The…read moreinstructor, Tom & his father made the 4 hour class go by super quick. Prior to this class, I had never shot a gun, let alone loaded one etc. But I left feeling confident enough to do so. They also went over the different laws & procedures that entail getting your gun license, which was helpful, given I did not realize what is and is not allowed in MA. I would highly recommend this class and be sure to partake in the live shooting at the end of the class!

    The worst customer service experience that I've had in my life…read more This training center is so uninterested in communicating with customers that the quality of their services is COMPLETELY irrelevant. I got my certificate from them a couple years ago when I applied for my FID. It's a long story, but I need another copy of certificate. I go to their website to lookup my info to see if I'm in their records, and find out that I need to contact them for a manual search. No one picked up when I called with the phone number on their website, and no one replied to my voicemail. I found a second phone number, which gave me the same results, but the voicemail message told me that the best way to reach them is over text. I try sending a text to the number, but it doesn't deliver. Eventually I found an email address to try. I never got a reply. Then I tried DMing their official Instagram page. No reply there, either. I decided to stop by the facility in person to ask them about my certificate, and also why they so hard to reach, and the place is locked during the hours when the website and google maps claims they're open. I showed up again and FINALLY caught them when they were actually holding a class. After telling me at first that they didn't have my certificate, with enough pushing they finally pulled it up. Then they had the nerve to charge me 20 bucks to print a copy. I hope that this is enough to deter you from giving these people your money, but maybe all you care about is the quality of the training itself. So, how was it? Fine, I guess. Sort of. A good sign that you can trust someone for advice about personal safety is whether they're in somewhat healthy physical shape. My instructor (both 4 years ago and now) couldn't self-defense his way out of a narrow doorway. Along with his neglect of fitness, I also distinctly remember him saying not to carry Glocks because they don't have manual safeties, which is ignorant and outdated advice.
