New Jersey Firearms Academy - Jersey City, New Jersey

This class was amazing and enlightening! I left there confident and comfortable with handling my firearm. The trainers were clear and precise with their lessons and give everyone an open forum to ask questions and not feel uncomfortable. I would 100% recommend them to anyone thinking about getting their armed SORA or CCW.

Went through the CCW training with NJ Firearms Academy and it is well worth the investment for your firearm training. Latief or as we call him Chief is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of licensing/training to help you achieve your specific goals. He helps with the applications and answers all questions quickly to speed up/streamline the process to help you achieve your CCW goals. I will continue my to come back to NJ Firearms Academy for all my future trainings/recertifications. As I said earlier a worthwhile investment !!!

Go here it you like being taken advantage of. After inquiring by phone, Lateif emailed me that to get my NJ carry, I would need to take the following courses as separate requirements:
1. Basic Pistol (certificate course)
2. Use of Force (certificate course)
3. Holster Presentation
4. Handgun qualification (Live firing at the range and qualification letter)
Per his website, if completed separately, it would cost $527. Package deal is $450.
His courses are each given separately over different days.

Based on my analysis of the NJ state police instructions, the only live training required was the Use of Force, and Handgun Qualification. When I inquired of Lateif if I can do those two only in one day, he responded back without directly answering me, rather by telling me to read the statute with a link to it.
I knew he was wrong and indeed he was.
Proof? I just completed at the Bullet Hole range located in Belleville, the entire process in one session for $125!
They did not try to mislead me into unnecessarily drawn out courses and training. Everything was included to meet the NJ state police requirements, in and out in under 2 hours.
Lateif, the NJ government makes it hard enough to access our second amendment rights. Please don’t add to this injustice by misleading the public further, and shamelessly doing so for your personal financial benefit.

Lateif is an excellent instructor. Just starting out but he's extremely knowledgeable and thorough.

Enjoyed my experience. The Basic Pistol course and the CCW review were excellent. I would recommend the programs offered.

We had the absolute best day doing the 2 hour long introduction course with Qamar as our instructor! He explained everything really well and let us try lots of different handguns. He was very friendly and gave us challenges to make it even more interesting. It was perfect for beginners! We loved it and would definitely want to come back some day. Thank you so much!

class was great, after finishing course i sent my app and was approved in three days, I'm letting all my friends and family know, "this is the place to go to get this thing done"!!

Overpriced. They make you feel guilty for not taking and paying for every course they offer. There are other places that will allow you to take the courses you choose without making you take more than what you feel you need.
