Security & Firearms Training Academy

I Recently Trained with Pat and Jessie. The CHARACTER and PROFESSIONALISM of each Teacher Simply cannot be Matched. If you are looking to enter the SECURITY Field I believe this to be the best school to ATTEND. They ‘HOLD THEMSELVES” to High Standards and you are always welcome back to continue educating yourself. THEY CARE not only about the Individual student but the industry they are Training the students for. 100 ⁰⁄₀ VETERAN OWNED and OPERATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE GENTLEMEN…

I took both of my firearms permits here and they are such a great knowledge and experience pool, you can tell by the way the instructors present themselves they are definitely top notch veterans at what they do and all coming from such a wide variety of backgrounds such as police, military, and security fields. There was never a dull boring moment at any point in the class or ever a condescending moment even for us rookies. I will be following up with a review of the Security guard card program as I am enrolled next week. Highly recommended for gun owners of any age and experience level :-)

I saved 25 bucks paying for levels 1, 2, and 3 with firearms training with a total of a low price of $ 475… I finished the course and I feel like I am armed with all the information and training going forward. The classes were a fairly good ratio to instructor averaging about 10 students to 1 instructor and all the instructors are good and effective. I especially liked the time spent with Pat and his old school charisma! I am one of those persons that ask questions no matter what the topic is if it’s on my mind I ask it which is a testament to the comfort level you should receive while you’re here. California has progressed into a somewhat tighter hold on us security personnel which in contrast was different over 10 years ago when I just invested 2 hours with a video and took the test… You will learn some of what I learned in college which was impressive and useful to think about again. They do have a great secretary specialist there in Katy she gets things done and keeps it organized I appreciate that and her professionalism and courtesy! ;) Now on to things that I think need to be improved… Since arresting someone is a huge legal situation I think more time spent on technique would be much more beneficial but due to time constraints from BSIS I understand the situation the same thing happened in my pc 832 course from POST but you must practice! I also would suggest a more hands-​on approach to non lethal weapons like having an actual taser in there and and real chemicals… to get the full effect I believe you have to be on the other end of the barrel so to speak but who knows maybe it’s in store for the future? Other than that the parking situation is minimal you have to park on the side or in the back in respect to the neighboring businesses. I am currently waiting for my licenses and it’s been a month today and according to the BSIS website I have approximately 2 – 3 more weeks so bear that in mind as they are backed up more so on the firearms license but I submitted everything together along with fees paid and they are 15 days apart… I have already met with one hiring manager so the job placement specialist «Sherry Anne» does work for you! I’ll update as things move along and remember to treat this as you we’d old a college course everything here if taken serious can mean the difference in how you perform!

I took all of my security guard training courses through Safta. They are very knowledgable and professional. They have a great customer service and answer all of my questions.

SAFTA is to be commended for their dedication to providing quality security and firearms training. They continue to be instrumental to the readiness of the California State Military Reserve Security Forces by providing superior courses to military personnel.

An awesome profession experience. Not a mono tone droning on course that I’ve experienced in other trainings.

I took SAFTA’s Placer Co one-​day CCW course. I went in dreading a boring 8 hr course. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised with the two instructors making the time pass quickly. The course material was presented in a way where you couldn’t help but pay attention. Other courses were being taught at the same time (Sac Co CCW & a Security Guard course). During the last hour, another lady and I were taken to another classroom to take our written exam and then quickly did our firearms qualifying test. I was very satisfied with the course and ended up paying about $ 50 less than I would have if I had gone to another comparable school. Also, Davis (one of the owners) was very helpful weeks later when I had emailed him with questions about the CCW interview with the Sheriff’s office. I would recommend SAFTA without hesitation.

These folks are great! Instructors will challenge you to get better and provide you with a wealth of knowledge. I cannot recomend more.

Came in this morning to get some pricing for some co-​workers. No one was at the desk. I rang the bell on the desk several times, got no response. I could hear people in the back room, but saw no one.
After waiting for a response I departed.

The professionalism and wealth of knowledge that SAFTA provides is unparalleled. They are unequivocal in their approach and have numerous classes and training seminars designed to help empower people to become self-​reliant and able to defend themselves if need arises. I took their CCW course over the span of a weekend and learned so much great information that I kept gleaning over for week’s after the course. The instructor, kindly referred to as «Gunny», took as much time as we needed to instruct us in a tactful and skilled manner. We learned so many hands-​on techniques, combined with classroom information on what is and is not allowed according to the rule of law.
He and all of SAFTA also made sure that we were comfortable (which was great for the ladies in the room) and not intimidated by what some would consider an intimidating course/​topic. Overall, I feel exponentially more capable now to be able to defend myself if need arises, and to share with others just how to stay safe in an ever-​increasingly dangerous world. I am certain that because of the training I received at SAFTA, I am a more responsible citizen — as are other members of my family who took the course with me.
I highly recommend SAFTA for all your training and safety needs. You will learn more than you ever imagined, and have the confidence and empowerment you need to stay safe in your personal and work endeavors.
Thank you SAFTA!
Sincerely,
Matthew Eschrich

It gets no better than this !!! If you are thinking of starting a career in the security field, S.A.F.T.A. is where you should go for your training. They treat you like family and support you in your quest to find a job.

This place is the best school I’ve attended for firearms related training. I took my ccw course through them, and they are extremely well organized, very thorough, and take the time to make every student able to retain all the information being taught. I will only do business with this company from now on!
