Feedback from Trainees

“There is no place I would rather be teaching than alongside the instructors and staff of the USCCA!

As a former police officer of 10+ years and 13 years in the private sector, I have been exposed to and used a lot of different programs for firearms education. It wasn’t until I found the courses offered by the USCCA that I was able to offer my students the cutting-edge information needed to make them responsibly armed citizens.”

– Steven M. Dyer | USCCA Instructor, Maine

“Becoming a USCCA Instructor and gaining access to these materials has improved my classes and helped my business.

I use USCCA materials to teach concealed carry in Illinois for several reasons: The book follows the PowerPoint, the graphics and layout are quality, it’s up-to-date, and the material is easier for students to follow and for the instructor to go through.”

– Kevin M. | USCCA Instructor, Illinois
