Sharon A. CPL Class
Mark, Dustin and I just wanted to shoot you an e-mail saying thank you so much for the ccw/cpl
class today! We had a BLAST! We do plan on signing up for your advanced class, him sooner
than myself. I think I would need more practice before I sign up for an advanced class.
Also, I was raving about the class online and already got someone that wants to sign up. She
said she was going to sign up next week =D haha. not even 2 hours has gone by since i got
home and already got someone to sign up.
Anyways, I am sure I'll send you more e-mails asking random questions.
Thanks again
Sarha G. CPL Class
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mark for the marvelous training he gave my wife,
Joy, on Saturday 1/2/10. I sat in on the first half of the class and was very impressed how the
class was conducted. The way Mark choreographed the firing range exercises was most
impressive. Even though we live 60 miles away in Pinckney, we will definitely recommend your
academy to anyone wanting CPL training.
Dennis H. CPL Class
Mark I am very glad me and the girls took your self defense course. I have peace of mind
knowing they are safe and feel confident in there ability to take care of themselves. My husband
is more at ease as well!! It was good to learn some new things as well for me. Learning
something new each day makes it a good day. So... you made my week. Safe and Happy New
Year to you and yours!!!
Victoria D. Refuse To Be A Victim/Self Defense Class
What a great class, I learned so much and feel very confident about being a CCW holder.
-John W. CCW Class
I was one of a group from the Lions Club; I heard nothing but positive responses from all who
attended. The class was well organized and very informative. Our Instructor Mark is very
knowledgeable and has a passion for educating people so they act safely, and not become a
victim. I highly recommend the class.
~Bob H. CCW Class
Thanks for a great experience with the class & the range. I got a lot out of it & will be keeping
up with things & learning more. I will be spreading the word of your place amongst my clients
@ my studio, friends & family. I'll probably be contacting you for more advanced training in the
future. Thanks Again
~Kevin H. CCW Class
Going into this class I had no previous experience with guns, but mark was patient and as he
promised I was hitting bulls eye's at the range. Thank you so much for your time and expertise.
-Gina S. CCW Class
I learned more in this four hour renewal class then I learned in my original CCW class with
another company, I'm glad I didn't get in any trouble before I had this class. Thank you.
-Joseph W. CCW Renewal Class
I would highly recommend Michigan Training Academy to everyone I know. They truly meet and
exceed all your expectations. The entire experience was wonderful from the hands on
instruction, to the personal attention he gave to each one of us in the class as they needed it,
to the approach on realistic based training.
-Karen D. CCW Class
I really appreciated the training that you provided for personal protection. You took the time, not
only to explain the fundamentals that we needed to learn, but also to make sure we
understood the particular details. You were a very good and thorough instructor.
-Jason M. CCW Class
You were a great instructor, I learned a lot.
After i left the range i went right to the county bldg. I then caught the sheriffs office b/4 they
closed and had the fingerprints taken. Got everything done in one day and am just waiting for
the appt w/ the gun board.
Thanks again.
-Chris S. CCW Class
I was a part of the PPCT course and weapons retention. I had a lot
of fun handcuffing the instructor! The environment in class was superb for
advancing my skills for practical on the job use.
-Salvatore L. PPCT MCSO
Retired Air force and former Police reserves Mark did a
professional job in his instruction for my renal of my CCW permit. He is
knowledgeable in all aspect in his training,and I highly recommend his instruction
for beginners and present CCW holders.
-Paul V. ret MSGT CCW Renewal Class
The PPCT Course given to MCSO was excellent. Alot of great information and tactics. Really
enjoyed the weapon stripping part of the class. Everyone should take a course thru Mark.
-Dave P. MSO Macomb County Sheriffs Office
Mark, I just wanted to say thank you. You did a great job and have shown that you are an
excellent trainer. On or off duty, the things you teach will probably save lives.
-Robert L. MD PPCT Macomb County Sheriffs Office
I can only echo all of the other reviewers on this site. After all, they're the reason why I chose
Mark for the CCW training. This guy is good. I had never fired a handgun before in my life and
had some reservations about carrying one, but by the time we were finished I felt very confident
and educated. Mark, thanks again for your patience, knowledge, professionalism and expert
instruction. I will see you again. And I'll certainly refer others to you.
-Ralph E. CCW Class
1. Wanted to provide you with some feedback from our CPL course you held back in December
as promised. You did an exceptional job.
2. The primary reason I selected your program was because you had a wide range of dates &
times available. Unfortunately, I am a pretty busy guy. Thanks to your flexible schedule I was
able to work in a class and turn in my CPL package before the holiday and the rush that
accompanied the election of a firearm unfriendly president and his administration.
3. I appreciated very much how you tailored your instruction for our particular experience level.
Though I've had years of experience with firearms in the military - Concealed Carry - is a whole
new animal with its own areas of emphasis that I needed to understand. Your professionalism
and personal experience made all the difference in getting across what we needed to know,
you kept it interesting and exciting and still emphasized the awesome responsibility and
privilege we were stepping up to in choosing to carry a concealed weapon.
4. Your teaching style was exceptional. You did an excellent job of passing along the do’s &
don’t’s without any condescension or attitude that some in Law Enforcement find hard to leave
in the locker room – I really appreciated that.
5. I would (and have) whole-heartedly recommended your CPL course to my colleagues and
friends. I think it’s more than fair to say that anyone you train is going to walk out of your
classroom a safer, duly cautious and well prepared citizen who knows and understands the
responsibilities that a concealed pistol permit carries with it.
6. Thanks again for the terrific course! I look forward to keeping in touch. And, I expect to
schedule another refresher before it’s ‘required’ for renewal. I honestly hope I never have to
draw my weapon in self-defense. But if I do, I am prepared to act – without hesitation - and I
have only you to thank for that preparation.
Respectfully,

Training paid off. I was in the parking lot of Oakland Mall today, a twenty something woman
was getting into her car. My mom and I knew some thing was wrong, a man walked past us
"looking for his car" but was following the woman. She was sitting in the driver's seat looking in
her purse, he walked up and open the door to talk to her. He was saying she was beautiful and
asked if she was single (to find out if she was really alone) and she kept saying no to his
advances. I walked toward him and told him that she wasn't interested and to get away (in my
big scary voice ha ha). He backed off and pretended he did nothing wrong. My mom and I went
to tell security after I made sure that the woman was safely in her car and driving off. The guy
ran off too fast after for us to see where he went but I was very proud that I helped the woman
who didn't know what to do in the situation.
