If you take this seriously this is the right class to take. You'll end up drawing from holster 50+ times to get real muscle memory which other classes don't even draw from holster (THATS THE WHOLE POINT RIGHT?!?) aside from the solid serious and safe approach they also take the time to have fun when appropriate to do so. I had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. Small group so one on one time with the instructor was great.

My husband and I had the pleasure of joining Peter for our CCW renewal course. He was absolutely…read moreAmazing!! He spoke to us from start to finish with genuine attention and care. Peter never once made me feel dumb or as if I was going to fail, and unfortunately I've encountered instructors that seemed to enjoy "knowing" more than their students! This team operates so much differently and this made a huge difference in my training. I have already started spreading the word! Thank you again for sharing all your expertise we will see you at our next re-qual!

I decided to take this class (on my own ) to see how I would feel around a weapon. I got so much more out of it.

I'm certain the folks at Aegis Academy will help me through this process. Thank You Patrick Henry and your entire staff. I look forward to advancing my training! May God bless each of you BIG!!!

He's a true professional and very knowledgable in this field. I learned so much throughout the day from the range to the class room setting it was 1st class information.

This was my third CCW class overall and, without a doubt, the best one I've taken!…read more My first class was to obtain my CCW in Orange County, my second was after I moved to Riverside County, and this most recent class was for my renewal. Since I was renewing, I only attended the required 8-hour course, so I can't speak to the full 16 hour class. What I can say is that the 8 hours I attended were outstanding. The first half of the class was classroom setting. Everett did an excellent job keeping the class engaged. Instead of just reading from a PowerPoint and rushing through the material, he used real world videos, encouraged discussion, and walked us through different scenarios. That interactive approach made the information much easier to understand and remember. You could tell he genuinely wanted everyone to learn, not just sit through a requirement. The second half was held at a private members only range, and that's where this class really separated itself from the others I've taken. In previous CCW courses, the range portion felt like, "Here's the target, qualify, and you're done." Everett took a completely different approach. He spent time making sure everyone understood proper firearm handling, safe draw techniques, shooting fundamentals, and accuracy before moving into qualification. We worked through drills, warmups, and practical exercises that helped build confidence and reinforce good habits. It felt more like professional firearms training than a simple CCW qualification course. What impressed me most was that Everett genuinely cared about developing responsible and capable firearm owners, not just helping people pass a test. That level of dedication and instruction is something I haven't experienced in my previous CCW classes. If you're considering a CCW course, renewal, or additional firearms training, I highly recommend Carver Training Solutions. This was by far the most valuable CCW class I've attended, and I'll definitely be signing up for more of his courses in the future :)

The integration of marksmanship and real life situations creates a comprehensive learning experience. As a woman who is in the beginning of the training process but is not a "spring chicken", I can say that I didn't feel like I was looked down upon as a second class citizen. I have experienced that feeling in other trainings from a different company. Doc is definitely encouraging and attentive to everyone's needs in the class. His knowledge of how the human mind works not only helps the student think through scenarios they may encounter but also helps make the learning process easier in his one on one interactions with the student. All in all it was a great experience! I have already registered for the next available class.

Facility is set up exactly for that purpose - to train those who have basic or no training in firearms. There are multiple ranges that can be used for short and long shooting as well as for tactical training. Danny was very professional, helpful and patient. We started with safety training and then moved to shooting the targets at close range. For tactical training, Danny suggested practicing a few scenarios that could be helpful to learn in case of home invasion. The whole lesson lasted two hours. At the end Danny gave me a list of what to work on and what kind of supplies I should buy. Great experience overall.
