PERSONAL SAFETY TRAINING

Personal Safety training is designed to empower people with the tools to be safe in today’s ever-changing environment. Protect yourself and your family by taking a personal safety course today. PTCC offers courses in Permit to Carry & Women’s Self-Defense.

Permit to Carry

Permit to Carry courses are designed for those wanting to secure their Minnesota Permit to Carry license. Students learn firearm safety, safe carry considerations, and the legal implications of their permit to carry licensing.  

This 7 hour class is unique from other Permit to Carry courses. It incorporates basic handgun information. This course will cover safety, handling, operation, storage and maintenance of handgun platforms; including revolvers and semiautomatic pistols. Students will gain knowledge in basic shooting fundamentals and confidence in safely using their firearms.  

A range qualification is part of the course. Students will receive a certificate upon successful completion. This class is conducted by a firearms instructor who is certified by the USCCA.  

For those looking to renew an already existing Permit to Carry license, our course will refresh and update the permitted individual on MN laws pertaining to carrying a firearm, safe handling, firearm selection, situational awareness and best practices while carrying a firearm. Permits must be renewed every 5 years.

Women’s Self Defense

Pine Technical & Community College, a leader in Continuing Education & Customized training, is partnering with Cambridge Mixed Martial Arts. They are experts on self-defense for men, women and children. Instructors use a self-defense system designed to use your natural instincts to protect yourself and your loved ones.  

We teach self-defense for every-day life. We use your natural instincts to help you defend against an attack, no matter your fitness level or age.  

Classes offer students with or without previous experience in martial arts or self-defense to learn how to listen and respond to their inner alarm and to defend themselves against every- day attacks, such as slaps, punches, chokes and more.
