About MDTTactics

MDTTactics Training Group 
Precision. Discipline. Preparedness.
Delivering elite firearms, security, safety, and defense training built for real-world performance.

MDTTactics Training Group, LLC is committed to developing disciplined, confident, capable, and prepared individuals through professional firearms, security, safety and defense, and health and safety training.

Built on the principles of precision, discipline, safety, and preparedness, our programs emphasize structured skill development and practical application—not simply completing a course or earning a certification. Our goal is to help students develop the knowledge, skills, mindset, and confidence necessary to respond responsibly and effectively when it matters most.

From first-time students to experienced professionals, MDTTactics provides progressive training designed to meet students where they are and help them advance to the next level.

We don't just train for certification—we train for preparation, performance, and readiness.

Our firearms programs provide a progressive training pathway for new, intermediate, and advanced shooters. Training ranges from firearm safety, basic handling, and marksmanship fundamentals to concealed carry, defensive shooting, personal protection, and advanced firearm skills.

We offer nationally recognized NRA training, which provides standardized instruction in firearm safety, responsible firearm handling, marksmanship, concealed carry, and personal protection. Depending on the course, training may be available through instructor-led, blended eLearning, and virtual formats. Certain NRA courses may satisfy training requirements for concealed carry permits; acceptance varies by jurisdiction and permit type.

MDTTactics provides specialized firearm training designed to address applicable state and local training requirements, including the DC Concealed Pistol License (DC CPL), Maryland Wear and Carry Permit, Maryland Handgun Qualification License (HQL), Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP), and Multi-State CCW permit training.

Students receive instruction relevant to firearm safety, responsible carry, applicable firearm laws, use-of-force considerations, and required qualification standards where applicable. Completion of training does not guarantee issuance of a permit or license. Final eligibility and approval are determined by the appropriate issuing authority.

Our Health and Safety programs develop practical lifesaving skills in First Aid, CPR, AED use, Basic Life Support, and emergency response for individuals, families, organizations, and professional responders.

Depending on the program, courses may be offered through instructor-led classroom training, blended eLearning, virtual instruction, or online-only education. Course format, certification eligibility, and workplace compliance requirements vary by program.

Online-only courses are primarily designed to build lifesaving knowledge and may not satisfy OSHA, employer, or workplace skills-demonstration requirements when an in-person skills component is required.

Our Security, Safety & Defense programs prepare students and professionals to recognize threats, make sound decisions, respond to emergencies, and protect themselves and others.

Training may include armed and unarmed security officer development, use of force, defensive tactics, less-lethal tools, active-threat response, emergency preparedness, situational awareness, and crime-prevention strategies.

Programs range from foundational instruction to advanced professional development. Course requirements, credentials, licensing applicability, and certification standards vary according to the specific program and jurisdiction.

At MDTTactics, training is more than checking a box. We emphasize safety, sound judgment, technical proficiency, confidence, and responsible decision-making.

Whether you are learning firearm safety for the first time, pursuing a concealed carry permit, developing professional security skills, earning CPR certification, or preparing to respond to an emergency, our mission remains the same:

Prepare you with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to perform when it matters most.

Policies

Cancellation Policy

Reschedule Policy

Students who provide at least 72 hours’ notice may reschedule one time without losing their course payment.

The following conditions apply:

• The student must reschedule for the same course or training service.
• The rescheduled course must be completed within 90 days of the original course date.
• Rescheduling is subject to course availability.
• A second rescheduling request may require an administrative fee or new registration.
• If the new course costs more, the student must pay the price difference.
• Course payments and registrations cannot be transferred to another person without prior written approval.
• Previously purchased online modules, certification fees, ammunition, targets, range fees, or other third-party expenses may not transfer and may require additional payment.

Requests made less than 72 hours before training may be denied and will result in forfeiture of the student’s payment.

Refund Policy

Other Policy

A student who does not attend a scheduled course or session and fails to provide advance notice will be considered a no-call/no-show.

No-call/no-show students forfeit all payments and will not receive a refund or course credit. A new registration and full payment will be required to attend another course.

Students should arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled starting time for check-in and preparation.

Late arrival may prevent a student from completing required instructional hours or required course content. A student who arrives late may:

• Be denied entry;
• Be required to reschedule;
• Be assessed an applicable late or administrative fee; or
• Be required to register and pay for another session.

A $50 late-arrival fee may apply to range training and qualification sessions. Being denied entry because of lateness does not qualify the student for a refund.

Certain group courses require a minimum number of registered students to operate. If minimum enrollment is not reached, MDTTactics Training Group may postpone or reschedule the course.

Affected students may choose to:

• Transfer the full amount paid to the next available group course;
• Apply the payment as a credit toward another eligible course; or
• Upgrade to private one-on-one or semi-private training by paying the applicable price difference.

Private and semi-private rates vary based on the course, instructional hours, facility costs, certification fees, training materials, equipment, and range expenses.

MDTTactics Training Group may postpone, relocate, or reschedule training because of severe weather, unsafe range conditions, instructor emergencies, facility closures, government restrictions, or circumstances beyond the company’s reasonable control.

Payments will be transferred to the rescheduled date or retained as a training credit. MDTTactics Training Group is not responsible for travel expenses, lost wages, childcare costs, lodging, or other personal expenses resulting from a schedule change.

Safety is our highest priority. Students must follow all instructor commands, firearm-safety rules, range procedures, and standards of professional conduct.

MDTTactics Training Group reserves the right to remove any student who:

• Violates safety rules;
• Fails to follow instructor commands;
• Handles a firearm or training equipment unsafely;
• Appears impaired by alcohol, drugs, medication, or another substance;
• Engages in threatening, disruptive, disrespectful, or inappropriate behavior; or
• Does not demonstrate the minimum knowledge, skills, judgment, or physical ability necessary to continue safely.

Students removed for safety or conduct violations will not receive a refund. Remedial or private instruction may be required before the student is permitted to continue, at the student’s expense.

Payment and attendance do not guarantee successful completion, certification, licensing, permit approval, or passage of a shooting qualification.

Students must satisfy all attendance, safety, knowledge, skills, testing, qualification, and government eligibility requirements. Government agencies and certifying organizations make the final decision regarding licenses, permits, and certifications.

By submitting registration and payment, the student confirms that they have read, understood, and agreed to these policies.
