Additional Notes from Your Instructor
“Jon Thompson is an outstanding instructor! He has a wealth of knowledge and knows how to transmit it effectively to his students. My 2-day USCCA Instructor Certification with him was packed with great information. It has helped to improve my teaching methods and content for my permit to carry classes. I highly recommend Jon!” C.Albert 2019 “Jon provided an excellent learning and training environment which allowed me and my fellow student to excel. He is a master of the material but more importantly supplemented the class with additional insights as well as suggesting improvements to our presentation style. I would highly recommend Jon and can say you will get your money’s worth from his course. —Don Z.” 2019 I recently took the USCCA instructor course from Jon and I have to say, the quality of instruction was top notch! Jon was thorough while still keeping on schedule. He was patient with us as we were learning to be instructors and he provided insight and information that I am confident I would not have received elsewhere. I would highly recommend Jon for the USCCA instructor course as well as other training needs. -Rebecca 2020 Recently I took the USCCA Instructors Course from Jon. Before taking the course I did some research looking for the best curriculum and a great instructor. I selected USCCA and Jon Thompson. After completing the course I'm happy to say I selected the right curriculum and found a great instructor and new friend. Jon's experience, professionalism, attention to detail, presentation materials, and subject knowledge makes him an excellent instructor. I'm confident anyone who takes any course from Jon will have a great experience. Thank you, Jon! Pat C.
