I took the pistol course in April. We spent a few hours in the classroom and took a test to get the paper cert. We never went to a range, as they advertised, and definitely did not learn, for me is was to shoot a pistol. I have called and spoken to them, plus emails up to 6 times because we never had range time. I completely understand given covid. BUT they advertised being open and training people. I have followed up via phone and email so many times, now giving up since its October and Im going to pay to go somewhere else. In addition the man who trains people is loud about his politics. I actually left the room to get away from it. There has been no communication on Bay Area Firearms side for partial refund or really any communication at all. Also I find how they are speaking to people that are reviewing them pretty disrespectful. There was false advertising on what they are offering. Those of us who came to Bay Area Firearms were misled and should be speaking up.EDIT: The owners response below is a LIE. I spoke to him on the phone and he said he was scheduling people by email. I never received anything from them for follow up, followed up enough times and never heard back. Its bad business practice.Anyone reading this can make their own opinions of course. But I encourage you to take your money/business elsewhere.

Owner claim this is a fraud review so I uploaded the solid proof. The certificate they gave me, with the instructors signature on it. haha. : )Its totally a waste of time and waste of money.I went to this place few years ago and took a course called Three Gun Shoot. I cant remember exactly the instructors name, probably Richard.(Actually Harold. See CORRECTION below) He came in very late. Instead giving a detailed instructions on each gun, he pretty much just did a briefing of what each gun does. Then he took me to a shooting range to practice. I think I understand English just fine but he just couldnt simply explain how to aim a target correctly and then shoot with a hand gun. Nor explain anything about the hand gun itself. Then we shot about 10 shots of pump and then 50 shots or a AR-15. And thats it. Thats all you get with $600. When shooting the AR-15, I was asking how I can adjust the gun if theres wind. He basically refuse to teach anything and just ask me to shot the rest of the ammo. I dont know what kind of instruction is this. The worst part, this guy was hanging over...He fall asleep in the lounge in that shooting range right after I finish shooting the rifle. I would suggest anyone thats interested in learning about guns to start with taking the hunters education program. You learn much more than just go shooting a bunch of bullets.--Correction--Just found the certificate that Bay Are Firearms gave me. I uploaded to Google as a proof for the review. I also attached the credit card charge statement. Looks like the instructors name is Harold Johnson. The owner replied to my review and called this review is a fraud and asked me to delete it right away. Well, here you go. I just feel everyone has the right to review their experience. I should probably have done this few years earlier, such that less people paid for this overpriced training. I only trained with this Harold Johnson, so no comments on other instructors. The 7 hours of training they claimed on their website, is actually much less. In my experience, less than 4.5 hours, that includes driving to the shooting range. If you absolutely have to train with this place, try to avoid this instructor...If thats a real name. : 0

I think the owner has some issues he need to deal with. He is calling all the reviewers lie and is short minded. You will be doing yourself a favor not going here. There are plenty of others out there.Update: You have time to respond, why dont you take that time to make your business better? This is my own experience with the Owner. This is not a lie. ZERO stars for the owner alone..worst way to run a business. I own multiple businesses myself, I take feed back positively.

DO NOT COME. Their organization is a disaster.We signed up for a AR-15 course. Initially, Scott said this will be $165 and 5 hours duration. At the date of the class, we came and they offered us the pistol course. Also at that day, we were notified that the range class and the lecture class are separate. We need to sign up for the range again.The date of the range class was 3 weeks later. We drove 1.5 hours to the range in Pleasanton. When we was waiting in the super long line of the range, we were told that they only offer pistol today, again.Here I tell anyone who wants to come: DO NOT COME. This business is a total lie. They dont offer the service you paid for. I would give 0 star if I can.Update: Im waiting for your attorney letter. Do it plz.Update on 11/02: I havent received any attorney letter, but I got the money back through Chase credit card dispute. If you have to go to this place, use credit card.

The owner of this business slandered I was lying. So I post my review again through my Google corp account.DO NOT COME. Their organization is a disaster and the owner is a liar.We signed up for a AR-15 course. Initially, Scott said this will be $165 and 5 hours duration.

Owner was a great instructor and also patient with a first time shooter. I recommend Scott to anyone nearby.

I highly recommend Bay Area Firearms! Scott is an amazing trainer and teacher! After completing my first course I am super confident with safety, components, handling, and shooting. I am excited to take my next class.!!

Poor customer service very unprofessional Do not recommend. They state they do not offer refunds if you cancel

Mr. Scott Jackson is the Yoda of firearm training. His patience, enthusiasm and demonstrable skill are readily apparent and I am very pleased with the class I took. A new word has opened up for me thanks to Scott and Bay Area Firearms.

Took my 4 hour CCW Renewal class here, Scott was great! He helped sharpen my skills and the classroom time was great. I’ll be back in two years for my next renewal!

Ask for Garrett, he is practical, knowledgeable, and has a great demeanor. We brought our teenage sons in to learn the basics, which they learned and then some. Garrett impressed all of us as an instructor and as a good guy. He answered all of our questions and shared real life experiences that drove the points home. Best of all he was patient and willing to indulge newbie and teenage boy questions. It was an excellent day!

This place needs to figure out how to set expectations with its customers. My boyfriend and I took the beginner course. The course description says its 1.5hrs of instruction and 1hr of shooting. Sounds pretty good. What they dont tell you is that the shooting range is actually in Santa Clara, which is a 30min drive South from the city. They also dont tell you that, if youre not taking the test (to buy a gun) after instruction, you will have to wait for an hour at the shooting range while everyone else finishes the test and gets their information put into the system. They also sold us ammo for $20 per box, which costs $15 at the range. Wth. All together, this lasted 9am-2:30pm.Its also worth mentioning that our original booking was for the previous weekend, which they had no record of, so we had to rebook.

I took a shooting lesson with Scott and had an outstanding training experience. I was qualifying for my work and I shot a 98 out of 100 score. Prices are reasonable and I will be coming back to take another course.

Terrible instructor and complete waist of time! Very negative experience. The owner is an instructor himself, he is very negative guy, complaining about everything: government, laws, customers, printer, software provider, internet - everything!!! The course takes about 5-6 hours: 1h - lesson and practice with firearms, 1 hour filling up and printing docs/certificates, 2 hours to get back/forth to a range (yeah, it’s not nearby and nobody will tell you this), 1 hour waiting in line at range, 30 minutes shooting. Oh, and be prepared for some extra payments, that also nobody will warn you upfront. Never go there!! There are plenty much more professional courses, where you get better experience for your time and money.

We went as a twosome for a double-weapon training (a pistol and an AR-15). Both Scott and our instructor Jade were extremely knowledgeable -these guys are all about teaching you the correct technique, encouraging good habits and ensuring you handle the weapons safely. We first spent a couple of hours practising with dummies and then moved on to the range. Jade was looking after us very well, making sure we each got plenty of his time and attention. He didnt mind spending the extra time when it was not practical for both of us to shoot at the same time, even though it meant the training finished much later than wed originally planned.Id only recommend that you discuss all the details before you book, which we didnt. It now makes perfect sense but at the time we were very surprised that the range entrance fee and the ammunition were not included in the price of the training. We also assumed we booked a private session just for the two of us, but it was open to others as well -in the end, no-one else showed up so we ended up having a private session anyway, which was nice. It was also a little chaotic getting the training certificates, but everyone was really trying to help and it all worked out fine in the end. All in all, those are minor comments and I couldnt recommend Bay Area Firearms more. These guys are excellent and well definitely be back for the advanced training! As a side note, we met some shooters at the range that clearly didnt have proper shooting technique and made basic mistakes handling the weapons. Watching them, we were very glad we decided to have the training with Bay Area Firearms.

Just had a lesson with Scott. It was great. Learned a lot. His instruction is excellent and you come away feeling that you are infinitely more proficient than when you went in.He guides you throughout the session giving you tips and helping you work on your technique. Prices are reasonable and I cant wait to come back and do another course!

I took the pistol certification class. NOT as advertised. 1.5 hours of classroom time (I feel i did learn enough in that time). 1 hour at the range. But I still had to go take my Handgun Safety Certification test somewhere else for another fee. Not to mention we went all the way to San Lorenzo to shoot. That was definitely not in the brochure!I would have given 2 stars except the hands on instruction from Harold was great and made me (a first time shooter) feel very comfortable around a firearm.I dont know why they call this a certification class but it was worth my time (even though we drove across the bay to shoot). Probably not worth the money.

Had a great experience there last Sunday. My instructor, Anthony, was extremely helpful, responsive and professional. I have absolutely zero experience but hes very patient with me in the classroom and at the range. I was lucky that I was the only student at that day, so for concepts I didnt get at the first time, I kept asking and Anthony explained them thoroughly. Also Scott is passionate and knowledgeable, and let me try out one of his brand new pistols at the range. I am glad I took the course.

I just completed my firearms training at Bay Area Firearms. I am highly impressed with Scotts knowledge of firearms, and his ability to instruct me in a way that I could relate to. His dedication to firearms safety puts you at ease knowing that Scott will not allow any unsafe situation to occur. Scott had me improve my marksmanship within minutes, because Scott just knows his craft. Overall I had a great time with Scott and would highly recommend his training for anyone looking to improve their confidence and marksmanship with a firearm.

Perfect course. Excellent tips and techniques with the right amount of repetition to make me comfortable. The instructor was thoughtful and engaged, plus he added a great deal of real world color. Highly recommended.

Scott who trained me in both Firearms Training and also Scuba really knew his stuff. I would rate him the most knowledgeable instructor in the area. He went out of his way to make sure he is the best. He did a great job in the classroom and also training me at the range. Details mattered. A very very good instructor. Also in Scuba.Deanna

Pros-Easy to schedule, friendly (to me), small group size, and you get to actual shootCons-Hard to find/small cluttered facility (run out of the back of a dive shop on a dead end road, off the freeway, near the airport), had to travel (30+ min) to range after the course, needed cash for range fees (although stated on the website), no FSC test/certificate, had tourists from out of the country who only came to shoot an AR15, hard to understand the instructor (Andy), facility had toilet paper printed with Hilary Clintons image (kinda funny but highlights the political views of the company).The owner has had some health issues and I wish him the best and a speedy recovery.

We came in as a party of two and we had an absolutely fantastic experience! We booked for the beginners pistol course and it just so happened that nobody else had booked so it was basically like having our own private lesson. Scott is the man! Super knowledgeable, practical and he has a good sense of humor. We were both first time shooters and had never handled a firearm before. Scott did a great job making everything clear and feel safe. We came in for the night class where there wasnt supposed to be a live fire portion but since it was her birthday he did us a big favor and scored us some range time. I would definitely come to Bay Area Firearms if I ever wanted to learn about firearms again and I would HIGHLY recommend any first time shooters to enroll in the classes here.P.S. Scott that Cabernet was great!

Recently finished my basic pistol cert from this location. It was a very quick and easy experience. Ton of great instruction, very happy with the advice and way it was taught. Not many ranges locally so we had to drive a bit far but, instruction was top notch and worth it. Very experienced team.

I just completed a Home Defense course instructed by Scott and I literally had a blast! First, there is the firearms education and training in a classroom setting. Scott particularly emphasized the tremendous responsibility of being a gun owner. Next, Scott took only an average shooter and taught me to be almost one with the gun. Scotts training style is not the Basic Training screaming that I experienced before but more the calm, humorous, and yet very serious walk through the basics of firing the weapon. By the time I was finished, I felt very confident with the weapon and I am looking forward to spending more time at the gun range. Thanks Scott!!

Excellent course. Joseph is an excellent instructor. After one full day training class i learned about both Handgun and AR-15 -Rifle. Now I feel very confident about shooting and was able to shoot bulls eye several times from 200 yards. This training curse is highly recommended.

I would recommend the beginner pistol course for anyone who is interested in becoming a first time gun owner. The class slowly builds your confidence around handling a gun. It enforces safety rules as well as adds a great tactical spin to even this first pistol course. The instructors are friendly, knowledgable and accommodating. In the near future I will be looking to take other classes!It is a great experience that is well worth the money.

I cant say enough good things about Scott and team at Bay Area Firearms. I took my intro to pistol course there and they gave me the skills I needed to feel safe and secure with my firearm. They started me down the path of my new incredibly enjoyable hobby in competition shooting as well as giving me a great sense of confidence in everyday life.I would recommend this business to anyone looking for the hands-on training at any level with any type of firearm whether youre looking for the basics in an intro course or advanced tactical training. I cant wait to take the my next advanced class there. If you are interested at all in learning any aspect of firearms from knowledgeable, patient instructors dont hesitate to sign up with them.

I was a first time student that had little to no understanding of gun safety and I took the Handgun Safety Course with Ben. He was patient, informative and thorough. I would suggest that anyone interested in learning gun safety take their courses here. It is worth the drive! Thank you Bay Area Firearms for such a great experience! I am looking forward to coming back.

My son and I had a great training session with Scott where he taught us how to safely handle, shoot, clean and store our new shotguns. He was patient and thorough.

I have known Scott Jackson since 1996. He taught me everything I know about Scuba and honed my shooting ability to the top 5%! Hes the best of the best in his profession, providing precision skills with patience, mastery, and ease. Scott keeps it fresh, fun and exciting! Thanks Scott.

Had a great time, learned a lot, and received awesome personal training.

Scott and Jade are excellent... very knowledgeable, helpful, responsive and professional. They really pay attention to the details. I look forward to continuing to work with Scott to continue to develop and enhance my shooting and self defense skills.Dave Wood

I had the taken the tactical pistol class with Scott. He is an experienced instructor that helped me improve my gun skills. I learned to shoot multiple targets, speed loading, one handed. Scott is a great guy and has a good sense of humor, he makes learning to use a firearm fun and enjoyable. That is the reason why I am motivated to continue with other course such as the shotgun and AR 15.

I arranged to start off my brothers bachelor party here. Most of us were coming from out of town so we had to take the train and taxis to get there. I arranged the plans with Scott to get 20-30 min of instruction followed by an hour or two of range time. I told him we had to plan things around the train schedule to get us to the events planned after. I paid Scott a deposit of $550 on my credit card for the range/instruction time. When we arrived we did not see a range but I figured it was indoors. Once we got settled we got 45 minutes of instruction that included a lot of racist/off putting comments. After the instruction was done he asked where our cars were to get us to the range. I reminded him that we were not from California and arrived by train. He said they usually dont assist with transportation, but would try to help out. We piled into two cars, which did not have enough seats for everyone, to make the ONE HOUR TRIP to the range. This was the first I heard that the range was in a separate area. If we had gone to the range it would have given us 45 min to make the at least 1 hour trip back to the city in time for our dinner reservations. We did not go to the range but instead got dropped off at the train station. The other instructor apologized for Scotts deception and said it was not the first time! I told Scott up front about our time restrictions but he never said a word about the travel needed. Luckily I was able to cancel my payment through my credit card so Scott did not scam me out of my money. I only hope this review can save others from the hassle I went through.

Warning!!! Dangerous!!! Racism!!! They intimidate female, minority and migration. Most of their five stars are fake!Today I was tired, in noisy public space and just wanted to ask whether I can shot handgun if I am 19. After he answered me, he asked me when I would come and I answered Saturday. Then he started to ask me for credit card information, which makes me feel unsafe. He did not mention reservation at all and if he did, could only happen after. The worker kept asking me in phone for my credit card number expiration date and 3 digits security number, I hesitated to give him my security number in phone but he still kept asking toughly. My memory is consistent from asking toughly to hang up my call, which means even he had explained, it should be short, not replicated and before his toughly asking. Then he said I was not serious to come there and hanged up my call. I planed to go with my friends to spend 300 dollars each there but this customer service suddenly changed my plan. I am gonna tell all my friends not to go there.After i pose the review, I receiveSeveral intimidation text(including racism),which I had posed on yelp. I dont know why I cannot pose it here ( do photos need approval from business owner?) I called the police for intimidation. If they try any attempt to intimidate my again or contact me against my wish, it will become a criminal and they will be arrested. They indeed have done this times before and were exposed on yelp.y of my words above and attend court for teThe most terrible and terrifying customer service I have ever met, especially considering that racists(they) have guns.

Just finished my private lessons with Scott and I cannot be more satisfied. I had never been into firearms but decided it was time to get past my absolute fright of weapons by educating myself. Scott had the knowledge and patience needed to familiarize and educate me with pistols, shotguns and rifles. Safety First! I even found out I am fairly proficient at the range. Both Scott and later Jade (at the outdoor range) were great at teaching me the skills needed to get past the surrounding noise and rising heart rate when I stepped up for my first live shots.The only draw back is the fact that they do not have their own indoor and/or outdoor range. You have to go to a nearby range but that does not deter from the personal attention they give you.I am proud to say I did a whole lot better than I expected and feel confident enough to return to the range on my own, thanks to Bay Area Firearms!

Overall great course. Safety was clearly a priority which set us at ease. Only issues are price and the fact that the range is offsite. Depending on how much you want to shoot will make this worth it.

On the good side Scott and his instructors give good instruction. But the school is a 45 minute drive from the nearest firing range. I am a returning customer and tended to ignore his fantastic stories and strange points of views. But recently Scott was extreamly offensive and as such I will never return to this school. If you read the comments in this forum you will see that this is a recurring issue. I suggest that having an instructor that is a hot head and with stage 4 cancer could turn out to be a dangerous proposition. There are other great schools in the bay area.

I bought the Google coupon and then I read the reviews here and at Yelp and got a bit worried. We (my wife and I) just completed the class (both class day and range day) and it was really, really good. We loved the instructors style, scheduling flexibility as well as the equipment (aka guns :-)). Specifically, the instructor, Tom, was a great trainer and even made seemingly boring gun safety part of the class really fun. Range part of the class worked out pretty well and Tom helped us fix a few problems we had while shooting a Glock. It is very likely we will be taking another class with them, likely tactical pistol class.

Poor value for money and poor customer service. Youll end up paying a classroom fee, ammo fee, range fee and gas to drive around the bay area to get from classroom to range (not close at all). Extremely expensive for what you get. Was given a kid barely outside of his teenage years as a trainer. Owner a little too upfront with his political and religious beliefs. 2 of us sharing an AR-15 that jammed after each shot (terrible condition we were told by enthusiasts at range) so with cease-fires took ages to get through 120 bullets.

My fiancee and I took the basic safety course, and Scott is a passionate and well-trained firearms aficionado. I think thats the right kind of person to get your initial training with. I was happy with the course size and the level of individualized instruction. We did our actual shooting at Reeds in Santa Clara.

I booked a reservation for a class and changed my mind because I found another location closer to where I live. They kept giving me an excuse to call back at a later time. Excuses include: 9am opening I am not at the office, 11am, I am teaching a class, call back later. Now I call during operational hour and no one picks up or hangs up on me or sends me straight to voicemail. How is it possible to only have one number to this place and not be able to get any service for a refund. This is the most hassle I have ever gotten. At this point I will need to sue them to get my money back for a class I never took that I booked a month in advance. Worst experience ever.

Our family took a basic course from Scott since I wanted everyone trained in firearms safety. Scott was great at all levels. My kids learned safety and respect for guns and learned to shoot. With 60 million guns in the country I feel it is important that kids know about gun safety. Scott was thorough and patient and was a joy to have as an instructor. We ended up taking some advanced classes with AR15 rifles and had fun learning and shooting.

Really enjoyed the basic pistol intro with Scott. He is very experienced puts safety first and you feel safe with his first class knowledge, recommendedCheers Scott!

A coworker and I attended a one-day basic pistol course and had a great time.Our class was about 10 people of varying skill levels. Our instructor Scott was great, taking all the fear and uncertainly out of the equation. I felt very comfortable with the classroom training and the practice we did before heading to a firing range in the area for some live-fire exercises. At the range, we were met by Jade (sp?), another instructor was just as amazing. I felt very safe with Scott and Jade and would definitely recommend this class to anyone.I will definitely be back for some more advanced training with the goal of applying for a CCW permit.Some tips:* Come with a friend if possible - youll both have more fun that way.* If you have your own handgun already, bring it!* Allow some extra time - the class can range from 3-4 hours to up to 6-7 hours depending on the number of students and how busy the range is.

Scott is an expert in training people with years and years of experience. If you want the best firearm training you need to go here. He is the best and trains the best of the best!

This is a great place and Scott is the BOMB! He has over 17 years in the industry and the BEST firearms training in the Bay Area

Very informative and at the same time fun. Great knowledge instructors. Thank you.

Thank you for your excellent training for shooting! You guys did a great job!

I think the Reviews here are fabricated. I took 2 courses, AR-15 and Long range rifle course(paid upfront). The class room time we spend is not very explanatory. It seems like everyone is in a rush, but not sure why; the class states that it needs 6-8 hrs of time on their website. which in our case Classroom is hardly 1 hour and the range time is another hour. (if you calculate the driving to and fro to the gun range, may be add up another hour, no one is instructing you here, unless you drive with the instructor: sarcasm) I spent total of $500 with Range fees+ ammo. Instructor Thomas is a good one, its not his fault, for our class he has been put in as a sub at the last minute, as the owner SCOTT who suppose to teach the class couldnt make it.For the Long range rifle, Its partly my fault that I dint remind myself of the class, this rarely happens to me when I mess up my calender dates. I have been charged an extra $80 on top of $150 I paid, because the instructor was not happy. The class suppose to start at 8 AM, I called them up 30 minutes after asking that I can still be there in 15 min, we can still start the class but cut it short ( given the class is 8 hours as they mentioned on the Website), but the owner SCOTT said he is not happy that people missing classes and he is not going to decrease the standard of teaching by just cutting the class short. and he should start charging them $80 for missing or just fortify the whole $150 fees. I felt like he just used my lateness to charge me and fine me, which I gladly paid since its my fault. I also felt this business is a very dishonest and not straight forward, they dont mention a lot on the website about the structure of the classes. He used strong tone against me and made me feel like crap on top that I already missed the class. He probably got the idea of charging $80 starting with me, and When I rescheduled my class the next week, the owner SCOTT who taught the class barely spent 30 min of instructions in the class and started talking about his personal life with other instructors..When I was there, I asked the owner SCOTT politely why dont they set up an automated call reminder for their customers as the set up dates are at least couple of weeks apart( like the dentists do), people forget reminders, he bluntly said we dont have time to do it, I said its just an automated service, It doesnt take your time.Just the total 2 hrs I spent there, i have seen a lot of confusion and choas, Customers returning that they set up a class and the instructor dint show up etc.. NO PROFESSIONALISM at all. I also overheard from other instructors that owner SCOTT doesnt pay them for their services, he simply give them certifications which they are not too happy about.Thomas is a good instructor but the rifle scopes are messy, All my shots are consistent but not on the target. Thomas is generous to let me use some of this AR-15 rounds in my second class of Long Rifle instruction.find another school, i dont recommend this to anyone. I would rate this 1 star to bring down the rating, i think people are being bluffed.

Joey, Andy & Scott were very informative and helpful during my CCW course. I look forward to utilizing Joey as a private instructor in the near future.

Awesome- very informative and practical as well great hands on instruction and attention to detail.

Rude, unprofessional, and I am frustrated that I did not read more reviews on this place. My experience echos so many of the negative reviews. I attended this class November 19th, 2016 at 9am. The instructor was 15-20 minutes late. The range was offsite and the clients were not made aware of this. The owner was rude and short with me. He did not apologize for his employees unprofessionalism. The website is subpar and confusing (UX is terrible). The facility is cramped and not equipped to teach a course in. I paid $195 for something I could have found on youtube. I also could have paid to go to a range and saved myself so much money. Please do not go to this place. They should be shut down. The owner is a complete ass and should be reported for his scandalous ways. Be aware

Owner and instructor are both very nice, but location is hard to find

Scott is a NRA certified instructor. Started my CCW 18-hour class yesterday, and I learned a lot. Hands on instructions in his office were then practiced at the range. The end of the day earned me a basic pistol NRA certificate. Going back tomorrow for continued training, which will get me the home defense certificate. At the end of the 18-hour training which will include legal and California specific legal, there will be a test, and if passed, the CCW certificate - not the permit, thats a different story.Scott is friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. He even helped me customize my Glock with a couple of parts to improve the handling of the thing.The school has different types of training programs for all levels, and I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about acquiring, or has acquired a firearm, as well as experts who wish to hone their skill and learn a few new tricks.

Well impressed. Went into more detail then expected.

I just had a final shooting lesson with scott yesterday. Great experience and learned a lot and fun. I never think i can be tough like this today. I am so glad to find them . i live in san jose and shopped around a few places before them. Most of them expensive or responds a few day later. Scott is the best . Quick respond and great teacher. Best choice!jen

I had no experience, our instructor was very patient with me. It really was a great experience.

Excellent! Basic techniques clearly explained.

Owner contracted me for some work. 3 months, and I havent been paid. Not trustworthy.
