Sacramento Security Training Center

Instructors are cool, prepared me for a job. Still need a few more certificates. Hopefully Sacramento Security Training Center offers a conducted energy weapons class soon.

Sac security training center is a great place for all your security licensing needs.Both Scot and Ian are great at what they do. They enjoy teaching and love sharing their life experiences with students.Ian is passionate about security and protection industry and makes learning fun and exciting while going above and beyond in preparing students for the real world. He is great conversationalist; engaging and lively. His life experience is invaluable. There is never a dull moment in this class.He also goes the extra step in helping those with minimal English language skills. Takes extra time to explain things in relatable easy terms. Ian cares about each students success.It was a pleasure learning from 2 very skilled instructors.

I took the 16-hour CCW course with instructor Ian Willis around the last week of June of '24.This is not a beginner course. When you enter this course, you should be familiar with your firearm and safe firearm handling. If you have any doubts, please take the beginner firearms training course before this!You must know your firearm safety rules if you have a gun in your hands (regardless of whether you are in the classroom). Know them by heart: treat all firearms as if loaded, keep your finger off the trigger, keep your gun pointed in a safe direction, and be sure of your target and what is beyond it.The expectations on the first day are your positive attitude (receptive to learning) and memorizing the aforementioned firearm safety rules. Your firearm must be cased, locked, and unloaded, and you must have no ammunition with you at all. Your case must be hard (not soft) and withstand a stab from a screwdriver. If the case has two holes for padlocks, make sure you have two padlocks. -Under no circumstances should you have ammunition with you. Your case should contain your firearms and locking mechanism(s) only. For shooting qualification day, you bring (instructor specified) number of unloaded magazines with no ammunition.I'd also recommend a notepad and something to write with. Take copious notes! With that, please bring a positive attitude! Ian is an instructor with high expectations and will get you there. Ian understands that we all have different backgrounds in firearms training. For good reason, he proceeds with caution, and firearm safety is the utmost priority. **Be receptive to learning; do not take stuff personally when incorrect.** You give him your money, and in return, you receive knowledge. **It's okay not to know the answer to something; just be prepared to learn it when it is taught.**Once I have some more scratch, I'll be coming back for one-on-one training with Ian.Ian Willis is one of the top shooters in the world. --He is not bluffing.--So, when he gives you a pointer, follow it.

Ian,Very strict on safety but very fair which he should be in this environment. Encouraging and direct feedback made me a much more confident shooter in very little time. Might have also converted me to the Glock family I'll get back to you on that part. Thank you for your help sir and I will be back for every re-qualify and seek some private lessons once I decide on the new firearm. I appreciate your help sir!-The tractor rider with one eye.

I spent 8 years in the Marine Corps, 3 years as a range coach and the Exposed Carry and Concealed Carry class was the best I've taken. Mr. Ian Willis is EXTREAMLY knowledgeable about EVERYTHING (it seemed). He's highly trained and very passionate about what he does. I recommend any of SSTC's training/certifying classes

We discovered Sac Security Training through Groupon. My sister and I have always wanted to have this kind training in the event of an emergency where our kids may be choking, a family member needs CPR, or to be a good samaratin where we could possibly save a life! Groupon gave this facility's training great reviews especially with the instructor, Sean Campbell. Although, we had a rough start at the beginning of the class, he managed to pull it together providing a lot of knowledge, examples, hands on demos including us performing on the dummy's with some quirky entertainment to make this 3 hour scheduled course go along quickly & smoothly. His sound effects were so funny too. Lol, on point. After this training, I left feeling extremely confident I'd be able to assist if an infant, child, or adult were to choke. In my past experiences, I've seen this more often than not! Knowing how to perform CPR is even better! The training taught was very thorough along with the explanation as to the "why". I hope I never have to use what I've learned tonight, but I'm glad I am prepared to do so. Thank you Sean for making this training so fun & interactive!

It far exceeded my expectations. The price was very affordable, the cheapest in the state. The firearm instructor was extremely helpful and has had 30 years of experience teaching police, military, and security. The two instructors were the nicest most honorable guys you could ever meet and I loved the honesty and transparency of what to expect in your career field. Hands down 10/10, you will want to keep coming back for the other classes they offer.

Amazing hands down one of the best experiences I have had with a training instructor. Ian Willis will not hold back and that's for good reason. Ian is also very knowledgeable of firearms and firearms safety. All of this was passed down to the class and everyone learned something new regarding firearms and firearms safety.

I certified and re-certified for CPR/AED with Sean. He is a fantastic instructor who keeps the content fun but challenging. He also has a lot of practical experience to draw from that he deftly weaves in the course work to help teach specific points. Thank you for all of your help!

Just did my initial CCW course with Ian Willis and I couldn't be happier with the class. He definitely knows what he's talking about and makes sure you know your stuff before leaving. He made sure I understood the material and even on the range. Can't wait to take a personal class with him. Recommend taking Ian's class to everyone.
