5 Stars - Excellent Instructor and Great Value, thank you Thomas!

I had a fantastic experience taking my concealed carry course with Thomas. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and it was clear from the start that he knew his stuff inside and out. What really stood out was how engaging he made the class—he kept everyone involved, answered every question thoroughly, and made sure we understood the material, not just memorized it.

Thomas also created a welcoming and comfortable environment, which really helped ease any nerves. On top of all that, the course was offered at a very reasonable price, especially considering the level of professionalism and instruction. I highly recommend Thomas if you’re looking for a top-notch concealed carry class!

I’ve completed my concealed carry training with Tom, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Tom is extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he teaches. He broke down complex information in a way that was easy to understand, and the entire course felt well-structured and informative from start to finish.

What really stood out to me was the atmosphere he created—completely stress-free, supportive, and even humorous at times, which made learning much more enjoyable. It’s clear that Tom cares not only about safety and responsibility but also about making sure every student walks away confident and well-prepared.

Highly recommend his class to anyone looking for high-quality training in a relaxed environment.

Gun safety is no joke—but I honestly didn’t expect to learn much going into this class, since I’ve been around firearms my whole life. Well, surprise surprise… I actually walked out knowing more than I walked in with! The two full 8-hour days are no small feat, but Tom kept things lively and made sure we stayed engaged the whole time. Great mix of solid info and good energy. Definitely worth it!

Thomas was super engaged with the entire group. I was impressed that he was able to stay on track and cover all of the subject matter in such depth and clarity.
I really appreciated his hands in approach and patience with new users. I absolutely recommend Alpha Koncepts as your choice of CC classes! I am looking forward to the next level training to enhance and improve my use of firearms!

I had no gun experience before signing up for the class. While it would have been helpful, it wasn’t necessary because Thomas did a good job of going through the basics. It is a lot of information to absorb in a weekend so eat your Wheaties and come ready to learn. Having never fired a pistol I was nervous about the shooting requirement but Thomas was an excellent instructor and I passed with flying colors. I highly recommend this class because it was informative but enjoyable.

On March 4th, 2025 I attended the CCL Refresher 4 hour class. It was wonderful!! The Instructor Thomas who’s the owner of his company was great and helpful. His prices cannot be beat!!!!! I will continue to be attending his refresher classes in the future and I asked my girlfriend to attend his CCL class in the future. Thank you so much for a great class.

I just completed the 16-hour CCL class, and I can confidently say that Thomas is the best instructor out there. He makes all 16 hours engaging and enjoyable.
Beyond his skills as an instructor, he has a true talent for teaching—like a great professor, he explains every aspect of firearm ownership and carry through real-life examples.
He is someone who genuinely loves his job and respects his students. No matter how much I say, it won’t be enough—the best way to understand is to take his class and see for yourself!

It was a great. I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect(first time shooting). The instructor is intelligent and has a great sense of humor. I would definitely recommend this Alpha Koncepts. Thank you.
