I just took there course and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a certified CPL course in Michigan! Ericka my instructor is a wealth of knowledge, kept class fun and exciting, and was definitely very safety focused which I can definitely appreciate. Very happy I trained with them and you should too if you are at all interested in owning a firearm for personal protection.

I had a great experience at Defensive Shooting Skills! I got my CPL through them and couldn’t be happier. Ericka was an excellent instructor—knowledgeable, professional, and made the class engaging and easy to follow. The range time was a blast, and I walked away feeling much more confident and informed. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get their CPL. You’ll learn a lot and enjoy the process! Thanks Ericka!

Erica was amazing! I cannot state enough how great of a job she does running this class. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and keeps the class light and fun with the occasional joke. On top of that she answered everyone's questions(serious or stupid) to the best of her ability and with candor. Lastly, above all else Erica prioritized and made it her mission to keep us safe on the range. She practices phenomenal gun safety and does not cut corners. It was great to have her father accompany us to range and lend an extra hand keeping us safe! I have and would recommend this class to any and everyone! It was informative, entertaining, and an overall great experience.
