About Valley Defense Consulting Inc

Valley Defense Consulting is a firearms training school in Modesto, CA, with reviews centered on its concealed carry classes, which include time on a shooting range. Reviewers describe the initial CCW course as a two-day class, and one calls it a 16 hour class. A reviewer who took a weekend class found it "a comfortable, professional setting." A reviewer who took the course as a CCW renewal calls it both fun and challenging.

One reviewer walks through the two days. The first works through real-life situations, and the second starts with dry fire and moves into shooting drills that grow harder as the day goes on, with students asked to bring at least 200 rounds. Another says the class covered theory as well as hands-on exercises, and a third describes shooting and running drills, both in class and at the range.

Three reviewers say the instruction suits all levels of experience. One reviewer had no experience and was scared to handle a firearm before taking courses, and another, who has been shooting for years, says they learned much more. Two reviewers describe the owner as an instructor, and one says the instructors have many years of law enforcement service behind them.

Several reviewers have taken more than one class. One cites multiple handgun and carbine courses, another a few courses over the last few years, and a third says they have used the classes for the past 6 years. Valley Defense Consulting offers CCW classes in Modesto, CA, with range time built into the course.

Just finished my CCW initial class with Valley Defense and all I can say is that I'm very happy I chose them. A group of outstanding people teaching what they love and what they are very good at. They are what I call experts in their field. Both days were filled with great information and hands on practical training. I felt very safe and everyone was treated with outmost respect either in class or outside at the range hands on gun shooting and running drills. This is a very well organized team of true professionals. I will soon register with them for other classes. All my respect for Valley Defense team. God Bless everyone.

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!

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!
