I recently attended the Westchester Firearms Safety 16 hour Course on March 15-16, 2025 to fulfill…read morethe NY requirement for CCW application and I can confidently say this was the best firearms training I have ever taken! Having held a CCW in multiple other states for 23 years and being a military veteran with significant prior firearms exposure, I have taken my fair share of training courses but none have matched the professionalism, depth, and structure of this one. Day 1: Firearms Safety The safety training was on point--thorough, clear, and structured in a way that catered to everyone, from first-time gun owners to experienced CCW holders. The instructors ensured that every single participant left with a full understanding of safe firearm handling. The multiple layers of safety reinforcement--classroom instruction, two separate mock firearm simulations with dummy guns, and live range training--ensured that no detail was overlooked. Day 2: Legal Instruction & Range Training The legal portion was exceptionally well-delivered. As a recent law school graduate, I was already familiar with firearms laws, but the way the instructors broke down complex legal concepts made it understandable for any layperson to grasp with confidence. The range training was perfectly structured, allowing for progressive learning--starting with drills and simulated exercises before firing 15 live rounds into targets. The instructors patiently guided each participant, ensuring they built confidence and proper technique, whether they were first-time shooters or seasoned carriers. Exceptional Instructors: True Professionals Instructor Joe Martini - Joe's extensive credentials speak for themselves, but his dedication to firearm safety and skill-building is what truly sets him apart. A true expert and highly trained instructor, Joe's knowledge and ability to teach at all skill levels made this course an exceptional experience. Instructor Sgt. Paul Conforti - With a background as a retired police officer and FBI/NRA-certified firearms instructor, Sgt. Conforti brought real-world experience and tactical analysis expertise to the class. His instruction was clear, no-nonsense, and incredibly valuable for anyone serious about responsible firearm ownership. Final Thoughts This course is a MUST (literally) for anyone looking to obtain a CCW or simply improve their firearm knowledge and safety. The professionalism, thoroughness, and real-world training scenarios provided far exceeded my expectations. Whether you're a new gun owner or a seasoned shooter, this course will make you better, safer, and more prepared. I highly recommend Westchester Firearms Safety Course to anyone serious about firearm safety and training!

Not a lot of structure - just an instructor occasionally calling out an activity, and you can gather around if you see fit. Not a terrible value for $40 a session, but also seems a little steep for that. The main reason I'll rate them lower is the pretty rigid cancellation policy. If you're attempting to do so for the next month, you've got to remember by the 15th of the current month, or you're out $160+. I'd be curious why charges need to be made so far in advance, and why with modern technology and standards the refund can't still be available at a later point.

I called the main number and was pleasantly made to feel extremely comfortable .They walked me through what they thought I needed in driving lessons .They were down to earth and very professional. I asked for a woman instructor which they had and said she has tons of experience. I took the 8 hour mandatory class which began the experience. The man teaching the class was also excellent. Reviewed the road test and also some basic language of driving which I needed to start this journey and feel comfortable. I met Linda who could not of been nicer. They pick you up and drop you off where ever needed. She made me feel so comfortable and walked me through all of the details of the car . She has incredible patience and superior knowledge of how to drive and teach the maneuvers. I needed a lot of work on the road but each lesson she remained optimistic and continued to educate and focus me on being behind the wheel. Parking was very challenging and she spent sometimes the entire lesson doing it over and over until I was able to grasp it. I think its important when picking a driving school that you look for experience. They have passed so many people with driving tests. When selecting a school that is the most important part. I highly recommend Linda and the entire team at Tom's Driving School. It doesn't matter your age or level they can adapt a program to suit your needs. I was able to pass my driving test thanks to Linda. I could not be happier about my experience and you will too. Don't hesitate and call today you will not be disappointed.

As a new swimmer it took me some time to understand a lot of the techniques (still a work in progress) but he was always patient and encouraging throughout the process.

One of the things I loved most were the small classes. typically there would only be one other person in my class and sometimes it would be just me, which was nice! They have flexible class options to choose from during the week and on the weekends. The price is also very affordable!

Stating, "You may have been nervous, but I wasn't, If you are not happy with the classes, then move on." All in a tone that would normally not even be thought of in a professional setting. Adding insult to injury, he also rudely made a sexist remark on my marriage before hanging up abruptly. As a mother of triplets with a full time job and barely any time to spare, this is unacceptable and unprofessional to any degree of business.
