The United States Concealed Carry Association’s (USCCA) Defensive Shooting Fundamentals (DSF) Certified Instructor Course was launched in 2018 through a collaboration with I.C.E. Training. You’ll recognize the meat of this course from the Defensive Firearms Coach program. The new program includes eLearning for the instructors, eLearning for the end-users, and very well designed books that coincide with course material. The DSF program is reality-based, evolved through empirical evidence from actual events and years of teaching.

Instructors who earn the certifications to teach the programs will be able to offer what we believe to be the best information available to their students, better preparing them to protect themselves or others they care about inside the home or public environment.

This certified instructor program currently includes two levels of certification.

Level 1 covers real-world defensive shooting fundamentals, the balance of speed and precision, stance and movement, high-compressed ready position, presentation from the holster, one-handed shooting, a home defense simulation, and several defensive shooting fundamental drills to help prepare your students.
