Online Training

Civilian Defense offers a range of online courses designed to serve as prerequisite training before scheduling live, instructor-led sessions. These online courses provide essential foundational knowledge, ensuring that students are well-prepared and ready to make the most of their in-person training experience. Completing these prerequisites is a vital step in our comprehensive approach, enabling us to focus on advanced skills and practical application during live training sessions.

Instructor-led Live Training

Civilian Defense Training Co. prioritizes small private training sessions over large group classes to provide a more personalized, hands-on, and stress-free learning experience. Smaller class sizes allow for individualized instruction, ensuring students progress at their own pace with direct feedback and guidance. This approach enhances safety, builds confidence, and creates a comfortable environment where students can focus on mastering firearm fundamentals without intimidation. With a strong emphasis on real-world application and scenario-based training, our private sessions ensure each student gains the skills and knowledge needed for responsible firearm ownership and self-defense.
