R.O.C. Training

R.O.C. Training operates out of their training headquarters in New Jersey with a full schedule of NRA-certified and specialized firearms courses. Whether you're getting your first concealed carry permit or training to become an instructor, they've built a curriculum that actually addresses what shooters need.

They run dedicated concealed carry programs for multiple jurisdictions:

All courses require full payment via Square prior to class. Ammunition is not included unless otherwise specified.

For classes held at Union Hill Gun Club, students cannot bring loaded firearms into the classroom—firearms must be in a case. The schedule runs continuously from December through March with multiple dates and times to accommodate different schedules.

R.O.C. doesn't just teach basic safety. They bridge the gap between initial training and practical carry competency. The Essential Holster Draw prerequisite for NJ Carry ensures students can actually execute their draw before going live. Their multi-state approach means a single student can get qualified for NJ, New York, Utah, Florida, and Virginia permits without taking separate courses. The instructor certification program puts their training methods into the hands of new instructors across the region.

They also recognize that not every student comes in as a shooter. Medical training courses like Stop The Bleed and CPR reflect the reality that preparedness covers more than marksmanship.
