Firearms Training Associates Instructors

We have found that our strength comes from our versatility.

FTA provides training to people from all walks of life. Most schools have qualified instructors; however, our proactive and humble teaching style is geared toward the individual student's needs and desires and has made us the most favored school in Southern California.

FTA is comprised of instructors with FBI, NRA, H&K, Glock, and range master certifications and State of California teaching credentials.

The rest of our instructor team has spent -- or spends -- much of their time training civilians/private citizens, police academy students, members of police specialized units, and U.S. Military Special Operations units. All of the instructors are sworn law enforcement officers and are current, or former, members of the military.
