I have attended CCJA training myself, sent employees (including my daughter) and have referred folks to [CCJA] courses for about 15 years. I find the training top notch, the cost fair, and one of the training providers that I look for on a resume to know someone has had excellent training. I encourage anyone considering a CCJA training course to pull the trigger and go...

Over several years of sending candidates to EMT and DCJS related course at CCJA, I have only the highest praise for the quality of training they offer and the level of service [CCJA] provides [Their] clients before during, and after the training is completed. Tom is very competent in his craft and very knowledgeable of the technical and administrative requirements associated with each type of course he provides.

I attended here for the accelerated EMT class, and got to meet the owner/operator behind the school, as well as several staff members. I would heartily recommend this school to anyone that has a strong drive to learn, and wants to learn from well qualified and experienced instructors. Being private security myself, and prior LE, I was impressed with what this school has going for it in the quality of training. If someone is reading my review, then you're already considering them. I would highly recommend them if you're in the east side of VA. Just bring a willingness to learn and don't look back till after you've completed class.

All instructors were great. Very welcoming regardless of experience level. Answered all question with great advice and slowed down to work with people individually if someone was struggling with something. They make sure you'll know what you need to know by the end of the class.

Top notch training. Greg is an amazing instructor who has the ability and knowledge to break things down to a level everyone can understand. Attention to all aspects of security and tactical training is the school's speciality. Tom and Greg has the patience to train and adapt to all levels experience. I believe the training CCJA offers is the best in the security industry. I will definitely attend some advanced courses CCJA offers in the near future. Highly recommended!

As we all know, these classes are critical and necessary. However, they can sometimes be a lot of information to comprehend and make for a long few days. Instructor Leiker was not only engaging herself but inspired the entire class to work as a team, and it certainly made for an enjoyable experience!

The instructor has remarkable customer service, is compassionate and committed, and is a superb asset to CCJA. Kudos and I look forward to future trainings ahead. ????

I completed the EMT-B course offered by the CCJA and I had a spectacular experience! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. They made the material interesting and easy to understand while providing extensive insights into the EMT field. The hands-on learning experiences were excellent and helped me be well prepared for real-world situations. I passed my NREMT on my first try! Highly recommend this class!

Tom Peroni and the staff at CCJA are among the best in the area. Tom has extensive experience in many fields to include personal protection, law enforcement, and emergency medicine. His facility is well-equipped and organized to conduct the necessary training for his attendees. I recently attended several courses at CCJA to add additional skills as a security professional and all were top-notch. I highly recommend CCJA for any tactical training needs. -XGS

CCJA's Smokless Range

In today's rapidly evolving law enforcement and security landscape, staying ahead of the curve in terms of training and preparedness is more crucial than ever. Traditional firearm training methods, while effective, can be resource-intensive and logistically challenging.

In response to these challenges, CCJA has invested in cutting-edge technology to set-up their own smokeless range that enhances the overall training experience while prioritizing safety and sustainability. The new range represents a significant step forward in firearms training, providing a safer and more cost-effective experience to its students.

This system provides real-time feedback and analytics, enabling both the instructor and the student to monitor progress effectively. Metrics such as shot accuracy, reaction time, and trigger control can be instantly reviewed, facilitating immediate adjustments to technique and strategy. This data-driven approach adds an extra layer of depth to the training process and ensures that students are constantly improving and meeting their training objectives.
