Recently supplemented Handgun 1 and 2 with a 3 hour private lesson. Wanted to do the lesson to stay on schedule for completion of Handgun 1-4 before the end of the year. ITTS accommodated at the last minute with the private. The instructor was thorough, encouraging and paid attention to the smallest details. Everything came together for me. Definitely a fan.
I just completed ITTS Handgun Masters after working through multiple courses, and the experience got better with each class. ITTS puts safety first, always, and pairs that with structured, no-nonsense coaching that actually moves you forward. My marksmanship has improved consistently because the instructors balance firmness with real guidance. “Uncle Scottie” is a national treasure: every story he tells is relevant and instantly applicable. Jordan, Alex, Phil - every instructor I met felt handpicked and deeply invested in the craft. You can tell they’re there because they want to teach. The private range at Angeles Shooting Range is the perfect environment to learn well and safely. If I could make one request, it would be more single-day classes—I’d likely train weekly. Bottom line: whether you’re brand-new or advanced, ITTS is the place to sharpen skill and become a truly responsible gun owner.
As a 20 year Reserve Veteran of the armed forces as well as 30 years in public education, I can give good perspective on training that ITTS offers. It is absolutely worth one’s time and money. These people not only know what they’re talking about but are clearly passionate about teaching. They walk a deft line between task-master and patient professional that exhibits genuine empathy towards students. And they make the class fun too. I was qualified to use deadly force in my Reserve military unit but this curriculum further enhanced and sharpened my understanding and confidence needed to safely execute the responsibility associated with carrying firearms. As we say in the Service, Bravo Zulu! (Well done)
I completed Handgun 1–4 and my CCW qualification at ITTS and could not be more impressed. From start to finish the program was extremely professional , the curriculum is well-structured, the range and equipment are top-notch, and safety is treated as the highest priority. Special shout-out to Uncle Scotty, Jordan Weiss, Jordan Lee, Alex, and Joe Cupo , every one of them is an outstanding instructor. They bring real, practical qualifications and experience to the range, communicate clearly, and offer patient, actionable feedback. Because of their coaching I gained a much deeper understanding of the pistol: fundamentals, marksmanship, draw and presentation, and decision-making under stress. My accuracy and confidence have improved dramatically. If you’re serious about learning safely and effectively , whether you’re a beginner or looking to advance your skills , ITTS is the place to go. I’ll definitely be returning for more advanced courses.
Took CCW class. Solid class, even if a good portion of it is just fundamentals review. Good to have though. When I was a ski instructor and skydiver, I bought into the philosophy of working the fundamentals intentionally and regularly--why should your self-defense practices be any different? Just be prepared for that if you shoot regularly and/or come from the military. That said, coming from the military, it was nice to be in a class where they will bust your balls. Have a good sense of humor. It helps you learn, imo. You always remember the things you were called out for and you never make those mistakes again. For example, I won't wear my wife's cheetah print ear-pro again or wear such an obscure camo pattern (where my Bulgarian splinter enjoyers at? ) that they think you're wearing a nice party shit lmao Was also good to get the LEO philosophy on a lot of these things. All my training was in the military or in military -led classes and there's a noticeable difference here. Be open minded. Take what works for you from each class. Solid class. Exceedingly safe. I'm a safety guy (complacency kills) and these guys are all safety guys. Instructors that have done the damn thing. What more could you want? Will attend another class for sure
We recommend booking as far in advance as you can commit. For popular weekend classes, book 3-4 weeks ahead, or 60 days if you're with a group or traveling. Private lessons also benefit from advance booking, while simulator sessions offer more flexibility for same-week appointments.

Yes, students aged 15-17 can attend private lessons with a parent/guardian and use parent-owned firearms. Those 18-20 can attend private lessons or group classes under the same conditions. Students 21 and older can attend all classes and rent firearms. We cannot rent firearms to anyone under 21.
Always wear closed-toe shoes, a hat, and dress in layers for varying weather. Loose-fitting pants with pockets are great, and a belt is mandatory for handgun training. Bring plenty of water, a sack lunch or dinner (no microwave/refrigerator available), snacks, and extra ammunition. Sunscreen is also recommended.
