I just took Paramount Tactical Solution's Defensive Handgun I & II this past weekend with my son…read moreand his friend. I have taken medical courses through Paramount in the past, which were great, so I came to these courses with very high expectations. Gary and his staff of experienced professional instructors met and exceeded my expectations in every way! They truly are phenomenal instructors who obviously have years of not only operational experience, but years of training experience. They are able to watch you shoot and find those very small things you aren't doing properly and show you how to fix those things. I've been shooting for years and have a military background. On a flat range I am a pretty good shooter. The amount I leveled up from this past weekend is truly remarkable. My son who attended with me is starting a police academy in the beginning of the year and had almost no experience going into the training at Paramount. The instructors took the time to give him the instruction to give him an awesome base upon which to build. They had him shooting very accurately and with confidence by the end of the weekend. I couldn't recommend Paramount Tactical Solutions enough to anyone who is looking to become a better shooter or learn medical. I will definitely be returning to Paramount Tactical Solutions for more training in the future!

We had a private concealed carry class for our family, and it was an excellent experience. Mark was…read moreextremely knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. There was a lot of information covered, but he presented everything in a real-world, practical way that was easy to understand and apply. He took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure everyone felt comfortable and informed throughout the class. You could tell he genuinely cared about safety, responsibility, and making sure we understood not just the laws, but how things work in real-life situations. We all really enjoyed the class and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality firearms training.

Capital Defense (Mark Briley) provides excellent instruction for concealed carry and self-defense…read more I recently took the 16-hour DC/MD CC course after previously taking the Utah/VA course. Mark is entertaining and engaging and I was never board. For the DC/MD course he has a co-instructor, George, who is an attorney in DC and has argued many second amendment rights cases in DC and has helped to change policy. The combination of skills and legal insight is important and gives you the knowledge and confidence needed to carry a firearm. I highly recommend Mark both in the class room and on the range.

I searched for an excellent driving program for my 17-years old daughter, so, that she could get…read moreher driver's license and Access Driving Academy had outstanding reviews. I called and spoke with Paul, the owner, and he took time to explain the process from the required 45-hours of drive-time with me and my husband through to getting her provisional license. We provided Paul with days and times she was available including weekends and our address. The first session was conducted on a Sunday afternoon (thank heavens!) and Paul came, introduced himself and talked with us for about 20-minutes while we took care of paperwork and payment. He then had our daughter get into the driver's seat and they proceeded with the session, which also included picking up other teen drivers. There was no set days and times for the lessons, it was more what worked for our family and Paul's wife, Kinder, who conducted all subsequent sessions. We were so happy with the fluid schedule! Our daughter raved about her experience. After her last session, we talked with Paul's wife as she completed the paperwork to be filed with the DMV and the courthouse, so that we could skip the step of appearing before a judge in order for our daughter to get her license. This was a huge plus! She also issued the provisional license and said that the DMV would mail the actual license in about 90-days. Access Driving Academy made everything easy and seamless. Just remember to be patient with the improvised schedule knowing that Paul and his wife will take care of the details. We highly recommend them!
