I almost didn't say anything but the facility wasn't anywhere close to what had been advertised and once I started looking into the instructor's credentials, a quick search turned up enough inconsistencies that I stopped feeling comfortable. I wasn't the only one who noticed either, two other students had the exact same concerns once we started comparing notes.
When the three of us actually asked about a refund, the organizer gave it without any argument at all and that alone told me a lot, more than the original red flags did. So the takeaway here is pretty simple, do your homework on training providers before you ever hand over money, because credentials and reputation matter a lot more once there's a gun involved and not just your time on the line..
