Individual, Family and Small-Group Instruction
Private Firearms, Medical and Personal Safety Training
Receive focused instruction built around your experience, goals, equipment, environment, and training needs. Private sessions are available for individuals, families, couples, and small groups.
Training Built Around the Student
Standard classes are useful when students share similar goals and experience. Private training is more appropriate when a student needs individualized pacing, focused remediation, equipment-specific instruction, privacy, family participation, or preparation for a particular class or responsibility.
Private Training May Be Appropriate For
- First-time firearm owners
- Students who are nervous or uncomfortable in larger classes
- Individuals needing remedial handling or marksmanship work
- Couples or families developing a shared safety plan
- Students preparing for CCW or advanced instruction
- Medical and bleeding-control skills practice
- People seeking focused de-escalation or awareness training
Private Does Not Mean Unstructured
Each session begins with a defined training objective. The instructor identifies what can reasonably be accomplished, what equipment or facility is required, and whether the student needs a standard course, remedial session, range session, or customized training plan.
Training content remains limited to the instructor’s credentials, available facilities, safety rules, applicable law, and the student’s demonstrated ability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is private training only for firearms?
No. Private sessions may address firearms, CPR and AED practice, bleeding control, emergency planning, de-escalation, situational awareness, or related safety topics within the instructor’s qualifications.
Can my spouse or family attend?
Yes. Couples and family sessions are available when the subject, location, student ages, and training environment are appropriate. Pricing may change based on the number of participants.
Can you come to my home?
Some classroom, planning, medical, and safety instruction may be conducted at a private location after approval. Live-fire training requires an approved lawful range or training facility.
Can private training replace a required certification course?
Only when the session is expressly conducted as the applicable authorized course and all required curriculum, time, assessment, and documentation standards are satisfied. General private coaching does not automatically produce a certification.
Can you help me choose a handgun?
The instructor can explain fit, controls, recoil, intended use, storage, maintenance, and practical considerations. The student remains responsible for the final purchase decision and legal eligibility.
Can you fix a problem I have developed at the range?
Private coaching can address many safety, handling, and marksmanship problems. The instructor may first require a skills assessment before recommending a specific training plan.
Does private training guarantee that I will pass another course?
No. Private training can improve preparation, but it does not guarantee performance, certification, permit eligibility, or successful completion of another program.
How far do you travel?
The Denver metro area is the primary service area. Training elsewhere in Colorado may be available with advance scheduling and additional travel charges.
