What Our Participants Say
★★★★★
I can’t recommend Josiah enough, not just his training course, but him as a person! My girlfriend and I were looking to better our handgun skills for our protection inside our office…. Not only did he customize a lesson to fit our needs, but also made us both feel comfortable while on range. If you’re an advanced shooter or a beginner, there’s something to be learned from Josiah.

Over the years, Josiah and Critical Training Solutions have played a huge role in my growth as a shooter. From foundational skills to more advanced techniques, Josiah’s instruction has always been clear, practical, and grounded in real-world application. His ability to break down complex concepts and push me past my limits has made a lasting impact on my development. I’m a more confident, capable, and disciplined shooter today because of the time and effort invested by Josiah and the CTS team

I took my very first firearms course back in mid February 2025. I learn of Josiah and his courses through Jerrys Firearms. Having never taken a course I didn’t really know what to expect when I arrived but everyone that I met was very welcoming and helpful during the day. Any questions I had I was able to ask Josiah or other participants there who knew more than me. The course builds you up from the beginning to the end, gradually increasing in intensity. Even if you were an advanced shooter or a beginner you built up your skill. If Josiah noticed that something was wrong with your technique he would give you advice on how to fix it in a very professional manner. He would create drills based on real world situations which made the drills more effective and interesting as it could be a real scenario that we could be in. The courses were great and local to me and weren’t expensive which is a plus. I’ve take a few more courses since then and plan to take more courses.

Josiah and the team at CTS are fantastic. They’re incredibly knowledgeable and patient, especially with new shooters, and they also do a great job working with more experienced shooters. I’ve taken several classes with them and have been impressed every time. The sessions pack in a lot of valuable information without feeling overwhelming, and they’re a great value for what you get. If you want to improve your skills or be prepared for any situation, I highly recommend training with CTS.

Josiah is a top-notch instructor. You can tell that he has a passion for teaching and has a profound sense of knowledge and experience. I’ve taken nearly every class he’s had and have learned something new each time and/or built upon the skills he has taught me over time. You can not find a more dedicated instructor in or around SWFL. (edited)

★★★★★
I started training with CTS a few years ago and it was the best decision I made. I was still very new to shooting and not feeling confident until Josiah started working with me. His classes and instruction helped take me to the next level. His classes provide a safe and fun environment. He is a wonderful mentor and I highly recommend his classes.
