World-Class Training Designed by Industry-Leading Firearms Instructors
Developed by dozens of self-defense experts with hundreds of years of combined experience, USCCA Training has become “the Gold Standard” within the firearms community.
This kind of training pedigree isn’t developed overnight — it’s decades in the making and growing deeper by the hour.
Not only has the USCCA attracted the attention of titans of the firearms training industry, but also the professional–grade Certified Instructors who distribute decades–worth of information to students day-in and day-out. Learn from industry experts such as:
- George Harris — Co-founder of SIG Academy
- Rob Chadwick — Former head of the FBI's Tactical Training Program at Quantico
- Michael Martin — Author of Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals
Certified Instructors, many of which are former military and law-enforcement, complete rigorous multi-day training sessions for each core curriculum they choose to teach.
These trusted professionals have taught over 1 million students, which is why only the best are able to pull on a USCCA Instructor shirt.
Once an instructor successfully completes the certification training process, they receive full access to easy-to-teach course materials crafted from the USCCA’s core curriculum: Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals, Defensive Pistol Program, and AR-15 Shooting Fundamentals. Plus, in an era that demands rapid evolution of self-defense training to remain ahead of threats gun owners may face, Certified Instructors are able to use their field experience to directly influence how curriculum is updated, taught, and created.
