Firearms Training

Special Tasks Group Training started by realizing that there was a need for accessible, personalized firearms training in the Pittsburgh area that focused on beginners, those looking to grow, and those needing more flexibility than large group classes or public ranges can offer.

We started our CPR/AED/BLS/First Aid Training programs upon learning that many companies offering courses in Pittsburgh are not managed in Pittsburgh, leading to inconsistent class quality, poor communication, and unreliability of service.

Currently, all of our basic firearms instruction is offered privately or for small groups. The classroom portion of our longer courses is conducted in Shadyside and the shooting portion is conducted at Trafford Sportsmen’s Club near Monroeville. We are also partnered with U.S. LawShield to provide legal protection for responsible gun owners.

Those looking to become NRA Certified Instructors can now do so through Special Tasks Group Training. To become an NRA Certified Instructor, students must take and pass the basic course in the desired discipline, NRA Basic Instructor Training, and then the Instructor level course. Instructor courses require a minimum of 4 students and are held at the same locations as our basic level courses.  

For our Basic Medical Training offerings, we offer public courses for those wanting to get certified, but we are also able to teach your group privately at your location, on your schedule. We are dedicated to building one of the few, truly locally owned and operated CPR and First Aid Certification schools in the Pittsburgh area.
