Full description and what we offer
Spartan Tactical Training Group operates out of Downers Grove, Illinois at 4340 Cross Street. The outfit runs the full spectrum of firearms instruction: concealed carry licensing, defensive handgun certification, rifle and shotgun tactics, and specialized instructor courses. They've been at it since 2004.
Their flagship is the 3-Day Defensive Handgun Certification Course (24 hours, $495). It covers the 2-day semi-auto pistol skills course plus a 1-day defensive pistol course merged into one intensive program. You walk out with formal training on firearms safety, nomenclature, defensive gun-handling, combat marksmanship, and use-of-force law.
They also offer:
Individual Handgun Skills Development (Course #IHSD.0120.2) is their one-on-one option. Minimum 4 hours at $50/hour. You design the session with an instructor—could be remedial fundamentals, advanced tactics, or competition drill prep for USPSA, IPSC, or IDPA shooters.
The individual handgun program is popular with police officers struggling to pass qualification standards and competition shooters trying to dial in peak performance.
