” The scenario based class put on by Guy Beveridge and his capable trainers should be mandatory for all Church safety teams. ”
If you can only afford one class, this is THE one. I was skeptical when I first signed up, thinking it would be a bit cheesy. By the end of the class I felt that church insurance providers should make this class a mandatory requirement if you stand up a safety team in your church. Mandatory every year. There is a difference between class room training (easy) and real experience (painful). This class is about the experience - almost pain free.
There is not a faster or more cost effective way to awaken your team and give all team members experience in a safe environment. You can't afford not host this class for your team. And then there is the After Action Reviews, what a treat ... Leave your egos at home and this class will be pain free. Thank you Guy & Stephanie and team for your servant heart. May God continue to bless you and your gift to teach!

I entered the course with years of experience with firearms, but no formal training, especially with a pistol. This course provides the participant with multiple real life scenarios, such as safely carrying a loaded firearm in a crowd, accessing your firearm from a seated position, shooting one-handed with both your dominant and nondominant hand, and safely locating an assailant and firing from behind cover, to mention a few.
During the course, the instructors critique your form/style and provide suggestions/techniques to improve safety and accuracy, without intimidation. I am certainly looking forward to Guy's next course. This course was great!!
