Fantastic experience: I took Craig’s CCW class and he’s a fantastic instructor! He really knows the law and how it’s applied in real life scenarios. I had practically zero experience with firearms but I was super comfortable asking my multitude of questions. On the range he instructed each of us one on one. Super encouraging and supportive plus an extremely positive energy. Taking his class gave me a real confidence boost in entering the world of firearms training.

Hi Matthew, thank you so much for your business!!! And thank you for your amazing review!!!! Stay Safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: After knowing Craig Gresh for many years without ever meeting him, I actually met him in person recently and realized what more of a stand up instructor that he is than I was lead to believe by others. As an actively employed armed guard, I went to Craig to further my certifications in regards to my carry status and he invited me to attend one of his courses. (The CCW course). As it is, I also have a military background and I know great education when I see it. Craig exemplifies what the ideal teacher should be and I am eternally grateful for his teaching skill as well as his knowledge and experience base. I would HIGHLY recommend Firearms training and tactics school for anybody seeking to find the best firearms education, hands down !!
Matt, thank you so much for this amazing review!!! More importantly, thank you for your friendship. Always here if you need anything. Stay Safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: Craig is an amazing firearms instructor and you should definitely take any firearms course you made need with him! He is very knowledgeable and you will learn so much!! He’s great! Do not hesitate!

Hi Matt, thank you for this awesome review!!! Stay Safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: I never write reviews but I couldn't pass this one up! I 100% recommend taking courses with Craig. He is extremely knowledgeable and funny! I trust everything he says and will take all the advice I can get from him. He knows what he’s talking about and touches base on every topic you need to know to stay safe, not just in handling but with the laws as well! He has the background and credentials that a lot of other instructors don’t have, that’s why I chose him. And I do not regret it at all! In my opinion handling a fire arm is nothing to mess with so I would pay the pretty penny to learn from the best.
Taleen, thank you for the amazing review!!! Stay safe - Craig.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best instructor for any course you may need. If Craig taught a math class I would take it from him, that how enjoyable he makes things. He's very educated and hilarious. To have access to someone with his level of credentials is worth every penny. He takes his time with each student and makes sure they understand every concept, and can perform whatever task is required of them. His passion is definitely shown in his work, which has a way of inspiring his students. Great instructor, but more importantly, a great guy!.

Fantastic experience: Graig Gresh is the consummate professional. He’s a great instructor and he has a passion for what he does. I’ve recommended him to several of my colleagues.
Dean, thank you for business and support!!! Thank you for this awesome review!!! Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: I’m very happy with the class. He’s extremely beginner-friendly, and even though I asked some basic questions, he never made me feel bad for doing so. What surprised me the most about Mr. Gresh was his ability to relate news and personal stories to the course material. It’s almost as if he brings the material to life with his stories! This approach is much more engaging as opposed to reading from a slide and taking notes. His teaching style really helped cement the key points from the class in my head. Probably forever if I’m being honest.
Antonio, thank you so much for this amazing review!!!!! I’m excited that you enjoyed our course. Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: Craig is one of those salt of the earth kinda guys. Easy to talk to, easy to learn from. Makes what is a stressful, serious and potentially dangerous situation, and guides you through. With a little humor, professionalism and humanity, you’ll get through this course learn potentially life saving information about what it truly means to protect yourself and your loved ones. Both me and my wife have completed his CCW course. Can’t say enough good things. He’s friendly and down to business when it matters. Thanks again!
Dave, thank you so much for this awesome review!!!! Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: I have been taking courses with Craig for a few years now.Great instructor explains everything clearly. Craig doesn't pull any punches he tells it like it is. Funny guy and keeps you focused on what he is saying. You leave there knowing what he was talking about. Definitely not a boring class. Roger Wagner
Roger, so nice of you. Thank you for this awesome review!!!! Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: Anyone that needs help with shooting should not hesitate to seek Craig's help! I would recommend his courses to all my friends and family! Before meeting with Craig I was struggling at the range and was having trouble diagnosing the issue. Through one conversation he knew what my problem was and told me he could help me fix it. I immediately felt more confident knowing that he was confident in me. Once he watched me shoot he helped me to feel exactly what I was doing wrong and helped me drill to fix it. Before Craig's help, I felt like I may be a lost cause, he proved to me that I wasn't.
Hi Monica, I am so proud of you!!! You did amazing!!! Thank you so much for the kind words, they mean a lot. Always here if you need me. Stay safe - Craig.

Calm, patient , catering to your needs to learn, he identifies the best approach for you.He cares and wants you to learn and improve. I plan to take a number of the classes offered by his school. He's in my opinion,exceptional at what he does. Your time training with him is well spent.

HI Anthony, thank you for the kind words, they mean a lot. Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: Been too other Firearm Training schools, only to be disappointed by the level of service. The instructor at Firearm Tactics Mr. Gresh made all the difference. He's a seasoned instructor that paid great attention to detail. I was educated on current new policies and laws that they're looking at .It was a pleasure training with Mr. Gresh. Definitely go to Firearms and Tactics.
Hi Angel, thank you for this awesome review!!! If you need anything please contact me. Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: Craig Gresh is a phenomenal instructor. I had a wondrous experience learning in his class. I am grateful for attending Craig's courses because prior to attending his school I attended a different security guard training facility where the education I received was not only subpar but paled in comparison to the knowledge I received from Craig. I am extremely fortunate because as a novice with no experience handling a firearm, Craig was extremely patient in teaching me the mechanics of a firearm, the safety procedures in using and cleaning a firearm and the fundamentals of precision shooting. I also learned the intricacies of State and Federal laws regulating the security industry and how one should interact with the public and law enforcement personnel in crisis situations. The knowledge I gained in his class was completely mindblowing given the quality of Craig's impeccable instruction which comes from years of extensive experience working in law enforcement. I highly recommend Firearms and Tactical Training to anyone looking to enhance their professional development as a security or law enforcement officer. I certainly believe your investment in taking Craig's courses will provide you with the skills and training necessary to make significant advances in your career.

Robert, thank you so much for the kind words, they mean a lot. Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: To start off, this place definitely deserves some more reviews but I know people may think it takes time and it do but just a min. Craig is well respected from me attending one of his classes. He is like no other and I say that because of his character and the way he upholds himself and I have been around a lot of people to see the difference from the start. Craig cares enough as much as you caring enough to show up to his class. I drive more than an hour, and will continue to do so. You can’t go wrong going to Craig. Very easygoing.
Hey Trigger, Thank you for this awesome review, and thank you for the kind words, they mean alot. Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: I took a course with this instructor. This was the best course I’ve ever taken. If you can’t learn from him you should send your license back and just be regular civilian. Thank you for the information, the course and most important you corrected me on the firing range to make me a better shooter
Hi Geoffrey, thank you for this awesome review it means a lot!!! If you need anything please reach out to me. Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: BEST. BEST. BEST!! No better words to describe the knowledge and experience you will gain. Craig is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient. When learning to handle a gun, and shoot a gun, you want the best you can find. Craig is the best you can find. It was my first time shooting a handgun and with the knowledge I gained from Craig, and comfort knowing I have the best teaching me and instructing me, I shot right in the middle! Bullseye! Just like you’d want the best surgeon performing the surgery, you want the best to teach you about guns. There’s a reason this training school has over 220 reviews ALL at 5 stars. He really is the best! Thank you Craig!!!
Lauren, what an amazing review thank you!!! I am so happy you enjoyed our course!!! You did really well and should be proud of yourself. If you need anything, please reach out. Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: After calling around and researching for an instructor to complete the CCW course, Craig was the only one who returned my call promptly. He was professional and most of all accommodating with course dates as I am active duty military and have a demanding work schedule. Many other schools had limited dates that were non-negotiable and all wanted money upfront. I have attended other courses with various schools/agencies, this is not a typical environment where they just flip through power points and take your money without ample hands on and Q&A time. In addition, even though I do posses an advanced skillset from my military and law enforcement experience, Craig was able to tailor the course to my needs while still gaining beneficial knowledge and live fire training. Going to qualify once a year is not enough, I highly recommend him and will be participating in future courses/training.
Robbie. Thank you for this powerful review!!!! It was a pleasure having you in our course. If you need anything please reach out. Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: I recently took a class with Craig and it was a great course. Craig's extensive knowledge of firearms and tactics, paired with his years in law enforcement as a police officer provided a great deal of knowledge that prepares you for real world situations. I would highly recommend any and all of his classes to anyone. Thank you and continue to do what you do.

Fantastic experience: I've taken several classes/courses with Craig G. & I will continue to do so. I travel usually 90 minutes to get to class which says a lot about Craig. I can easily find a location closer to where I live but I prefer to attend Craig's classes. He cares about everyone's well being & preparedness. He makes the material relatable & class enjoyable. I appreciate all he's done for me & everyone he serves. Thank you Craig! With Many Blessings, DinaMarie

Fantastic experience: The founder Craig Gresh, had the perfect balance of classroom academics, range experience, and real world applications which separated this Law Enforcement/Security company from the pack. I had taken the 47 hour armed guard course from Craig, and adamantly advise anyone who is licensed to carry to take this course ASAP. I am Looking forward to taking additional instructions from Craig and the company - I found his combination of real world street knowledge and current federal/state regulations invaluable. - Roberto

Hi Bob!!! Thank you for the awesome review!!! Stay safe - Craig.
Fantastic experience: This is my first ever security class, I'm a first time gun owner too and as intimidating as the process is; Mr Gresh was nothing short of phenomenal, every step of the way- Mr Gresh was there! Mr Gresh not only provided excellent , but practical instruction on both firearms and security concepts- he made the material palpable, functional, and enjoyable. I wouldn't proceed further with any other training school, if you're new to security or firearms, Firearms Tactics is the school to go to.
Hi Memduh, Thank you for this awesome review!!! You did really well during our course and I look forward to seeing you in future training classes. Stay safe - Craig.
