Look no further, Vince and the team are just simply phenomenal. Top-notch instruction, great experience, and a wealth of industry knowledge. I've taken a few courses from VDC these last few years and they stand out from the rest of the firearm instructors/schools that I've seen in the area. With that said, I'm looking forward to taking more classes on a regular basis to fine tune my skills. Thank you Vince and team!

The class was very informative and the wealth of experience is apparent. The day on the range was productive and I learned a lot. If you have any concerns, the instructors are beyond understanding and I was happy to see them coach individuals who were having a hard time when we were out on the range. I would definitely recommend coming with at least three magazines for every firearm you intend to qualify with. Its not even a suggestion really but a requirement because a lot of the drills involved having at least three magazines ready. Also, if you're doing the initial course and just have one firearm, bring at least 250 rounds. The website says 100 rounds on the initial page but the issue was brought up in class and Vince stated they would fix it ASAP. In any case, Vince has ammo for sale available at the range, but its not extensive and I would highly recommend purchasing your own ahead of time. Lastly I wanted to say their focus on safety was awesome and I'm glad I didn't go somewhere else. They do offer military discount if anyone was curious and I already recommended some of my family members to attend their CCW course. Hope someone finds this review beneficial and to sum it up, don't hesitate to sign up! You wont regret it. Sincerely, Dave

Vince and his team are absolutely top notch! I completed the initial 16 hour CCW class with Vince and I couldn't be happier I chose Valley Defense. The wealth of knowledge, decades of experience, and stories of real world scenarios made for a one of a kind educational experience. I look forward to coming back for more training. Thank you Valley Defense!

I was looking for a place to get CCW training, heard great things about Valley Defense, and they were not wrong ! Vince is very knowledgeable and experienced, him and his staff know very well what they are doing, (with a great sense of humor too) :) That takes the stress out of the day.... they made the experience so much fun !! After I took the CCW course I am definitely getting a membership with them .. it's 100% TOTALLY WORTH IT !!

Just completed their initial CCW course and I'm glad I decided to go through Valley Defense Consulting. The course and overall structure was very helpful, there was some challenges as there should be, but Vince(Owner/Instructor) and Dylan(Instructor) are experienced enough to recognize when guidance is needed. I will be recommending to family and friends.

If you are looking for CCW or firearm defensive training Valley Defense Consulting is the only place to look! Vince and staff have real life experience from many years of law enforcement service. Vince and his staff hold safety as their #1 priority and there is no compromise! Vince and his staff work with all levels of experience and coaches everyone as needed. I had researched many CCW courses and was recommended to go to Valley Defense by someone in law enforcement as the only class to consider. I am so glad I did. Day 1 Vince gives you so many real life situations to consider and keeps you always thinking and engaged. Extremely valuable information that is critical to have if you will be carrying a firearm. Day 2 was amazing. Vince ask that you bring at least 200 rounds. Day 2 you spend the whole day going through hands on firearm training from no ammo and dry fires. Then moves into beginning shooting and as the day moves on it gets more challenging and they really push you more than what you have ever done before if you have not taken one of Vince's classes before. You perform drills and exercises that you cannot do at indoor ranges. Vince and staff have lots of extra equipment to make your day easier and enjoyable. By the end of day 2, if you make it to the end you will have a great deal of knowledge and confidence in handling your firearm more than you did when you got there. I have shot firearms since I was a kid. However, this type of professional law enforcement type of training is hands down the best. I would really love to continue my training with Vince and his team. And if you are getting your CCW, I would not even consider anyone else since Vince makes sure you get the training you really need if you are ever in a situation that you need to save your life or protect your family. I truly appreciate the training and lessons Vince and his staff provided. They are top notch and the best at what they do.

Not your usual class! All of us who must renew our CCW permit every two years are used to the standard drill, which is kind of a yawner, though useful as a way of keeping up with changes in the law. You sit through a presentation. You go to a range and poke the requisite number of holes into a cardboard target. The course here really tests your ability, and teaches you the basics of handgun self defense. It is both fun and challenging. I have not taken their more advanced courses, but IΓÇÖll bet they are very good. Before you contemplate spending your kids college fund on Gunsite or similar, try these guys at a fraction of the cost.

Amazing training from honest, experienced people. I felt safe and knew that I was in good hands.

I have taken many courses with them over the years. When I started, I had no experience and was scared to handle any type of firearm. Thanks to their instruction, I am vastly more confident and skilled. After multiple handgun and carbine courses, I will soon be using their class to pursue my concealed carry license. I will be going to them and only them in the future.

I took my CCW class last weekend and I have to say the team there are awesome. A real class act. I left there feeling confident and very proficient with the use of my handgun. The Bizzini's are great people. I would recommend this business to everyone who is interested in pursuing their CCW and any other gun related training.

Vince and Christie offer an exceptional level of instruction and safety. I recently completed my concealed carry course there and was incredibly impressed with how well the staff accommodated all levels of experience, taught new skills, broke bad habits, and managed safety incredibly well. I will be back! --Mark C.
