The Inaugural Instructors Certification Course for the National African American Gun Association was completed this weekend in Atlanta, Georgia, February 19, 20, & 21. A total of 12 instructors from all over the USA came and participated.
This was history in the making with an African American firearms organization certifying Instructors with their own curriculum. That has never been done before in the United States. The class took place at the nationally known Governors’ Gun Range in Kennessaw, Georgia. The 3 day course was extremely difficult forcing all participants to pass a challenging shooting qualifier test and teaching portion. All students in the class were hand selected and had to have the highest level of skills and experience before starting the course.
The course was developed by the nationally known and highly respected firearms training duo of Tiffany Johnson and Aqil Quadir. They were outstanding and demonstrated black excellence at every level. This is arguably the best Instructor course currently in the marketplace due to the high level of instructor knowledge and standards required. Additional courses have been scheduled, and due to high demand, the March class has already been filled.
This is especially gratifying to have this 5-year goal achieved during Black History Month.
There’s a difference between interest and commitment.
When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient.
When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuse–only results.

Would gladly attended one of these to see what it’s all about. I’ve been a certified instructor for years, a usmc scout sniper, and am currently active duty special operations with the Marine Corps going on my 6th deployment. As well as a competitive shooter in pistol and Long range precision. Curious what the credentials are to attend.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am a member who must say that the term black people and black excellence are statements and terms that are not real or based on facts. In truth they are misnomers and in conflict with reality.
Thanks.
