Retook my gun safety class here after my other certification expired, this time aiming to get a…read morelicense and join a range. The class was awesome! Army Mike (he told us to call him that since both instructors are named Mike) was informative and funny. He was really knowledgeable about the materials he planned to present as well as at answering any questions thrown at him. There were many questions (common or uncommon) and he answered them thoroughly and with plenty of insights. There are roughly 3 hours of presentation materials including basic introduction to gun types and gun safety; loading and unloading different types of guns; licensing information; MA gun laws. He reinforced each safety rule with a youtube video of mishaps by people, they were to the point and funny. (But of course sad at the same time) He also had plethora of entertaining stories and examples to give for each scenario. Everyone got to practice loading and unloading guns in front of the instructor. The 3 hour class went by like a breeze. Learned a lot in this class and most importantly, had lots of fun learning them! There is also an optional simulator session after handing out the certification, we did not stay for this one, but from past experience, it's like playing a video game with a fake gun, pretty fun to try! Had a Groupon for $40/per person, great price for an excellent certification class.

Pretty lame presentation for a very serious subject. The instructor was too loose in the…read morepresentation of the material and did not give any meaningful technical details RE gun safety. For example- he never mentioned that you must drop the clip then rack the slide in any auto- a very common cause of accidental gun shootings. The simulator was silly. In all, I would not recommend the course- especially at the price.

The worst customer service experience that I've had in my life…read more This training center is so uninterested in communicating with customers that the quality of their services is COMPLETELY irrelevant. I got my certificate from them a couple years ago when I applied for my FID. It's a long story, but I need another copy of certificate. I go to their website to lookup my info to see if I'm in their records, and find out that I need to contact them for a manual search. No one picked up when I called with the phone number on their website, and no one replied to my voicemail. I found a second phone number, which gave me the same results, but the voicemail message told me that the best way to reach them is over text. I try sending a text to the number, but it doesn't deliver. Eventually I found an email address to try. I never got a reply. Then I tried DMing their official Instagram page. No reply there, either. I decided to stop by the facility in person to ask them about my certificate, and also why they so hard to reach, and the place is locked during the hours when the website and google maps claims they're open. I showed up again and FINALLY caught them when they were actually holding a class. After telling me at first that they didn't have my certificate, with enough pushing they finally pulled it up. Then they had the nerve to charge me 20 bucks to print a copy. I hope that this is enough to deter you from giving these people your money, but maybe all you care about is the quality of the training itself. So, how was it? Fine, I guess. Sort of. A good sign that you can trust someone for advice about personal safety is whether they're in somewhat healthy physical shape. My instructor (both 4 years ago and now) couldn't self-defense his way out of a narrow doorway. Along with his neglect of fitness, I also distinctly remember him saying not to carry Glocks because they don't have manual safeties, which is ignorant and outdated advice.

This particular club was founded back when Woburn was nothing but fields. The original building itself still stands and is absolutely in use today. Now, it's a bit cramped in that neigborhood - condos and office buildings are nearby. But there is a surprising number of indoor and outdoor ranges here. 2 of which are open 24 hours a day! If you need to take a gun safety class: This is where you want to go. The volunteer staff here are absolutely the kind of people you want teaching you about the proper safety and respect to be used around firearms. Their knowledge and attitude are awesome. AND - this particular gun safety class allows you to actually fire several different guns - which not all gun safety classes do. I feel it is absolutely essentital! Not to mention - fun! The club is great - the members are great - the facilities are great. We are lucky to have this place in our neck of the woods!

The live-fire portion of the class has each student matched up with an instructor 1 on 1 (this is a huge benefit for those people who are a little unsure about firearms). A follow up night of classroom instruction features a unique opportunity to have access to a Wilburn Police officer (in my case he was a Detective) to ask questions of. I appreciated this portion of the class because it allowed me to ask questions about the interpretation of Massachusetts firearms laws directly to an officer of the law. I had very little experience shooting firearms before enrolling in this class.
