Terry and team did an amazing job. I left feeling equipped and confident. He went into thorough detail, gave real life examples and got the entire classroom engaged, ensuring everyone was retaining the learning. Came out of this class feeling inspired to continue my training.
My viewpoint of today's classroom CCW course was informative, well structured, and a little thought provoking. Terry's explanation of what if's, what to expect and to do after an incident gave real insight of what to expect to happen when a situation arises.
I had a great learning experience with david janda as my teacher he made everything easily understandable and me and my mother both enjoyed our class
The instructor has given great information on the laws.
Great attitude personality as well as beautiful charlies angel
Went over a lot and I enjoyed the class. All lot of information.
All assistant advisors were legit and you couldn't guess their political affiliation. Andy Bernard who was the main instructor clearly doesn't understand his target audience. It felt more like an 8 hour time-share pitch than a legit CCW course, and he teaches our middle schoolers as his full time job! Sat through hours of decent info with frequent jabs at the left leaning groups, regardless of whether they also wish to protect their families only to be hit with the "what would you pay for this?" line after showing what it actually costs to defend your family if shootings turn criminal/civil. Fear mongering money grab company with the right pitch guy for their needs. Will not use their CCW cert to obtain anything. There were people that needed a walker, not a gun in their hands that were handed the same certificate to obtain a CCW. Ohio CCW training laughable.

It is our goal to offer all people, regardless of political affiliation or any other characteristic, the same education. We are addressing the concerns you stated in this review.
Had the privilege of taking the course with KC Brown in Westchester, NY. Having taken many other certification courses in the past, I dreaded having to take an 18 hour course.
The experience that I thought would be dreadful turned out to be outstanding! KC was professional, and shared extensive knowledge not only from the course material but on a personal level to make it relevant. He was personally invested in the course and the students.
KC ensued that we understood the material and encouraged questions. He kept the class engaging and the time flew by. Thankful to have had the opportunity to take his course and thankful for Concealed Coalition offering the course. Highly recommended instructor and course!
Had a great time at the class with instructor Matt Wheeler at the helm. Well delivered and concise. 5 star!
Thanks to John and Matt for a great experience, I truly learned a lot about safety, firearms and mostly how to protect myself and people that I Love, they really knows what they are doing and is very serious and funny at the same time but most importantly they are very patient with you to make sure you understand and know the importance of the firearm so I can and do recommend you to take their classes they won't disappoint Thanks again John and Matt I really appreciate it
I took the course in Glen Burnie, Md. This past weekend with Martin and Brianna. What an awesome experience! Having taken many coaching and flying courses, these two rank at the top as instructors. Their patience and teaching skills are remarkable. I would recommend Conceled Coalition to everyone.
The presentation was more than I expected interaction with students and teachers very helpful, questions asked were answered in a informative manner, Matt was a great instructor, after explaining pro's and cons of having Gaurdian insurance was no brainer
Great instructors! Lots of relevant dialogue that helped clarify the legal aspects
The instructor was very knowledgeable and his presentations were outstanding. I learned that I needed more training and my understanding of my responsibilities as a gun owner needed a lot of more accurate information
The instructor was great and the class was very helpful.
