Markus is a cool guy and a very experienced firearm instructor. The firearm intro course was pretty interactive and informative. The range experience was fun!
Honestly was a great class. Coming from a state where there is open carry to NJ where the laws are ridiculous- this class was amazing to teach you. Learned a lot with all different type of scenarios, how to carry gun and hollister it. Laws and regulations. Highly recommend Marcus.
Great experience. Marcus is a very knowledgeable instructor. Highly recommend!
Marcus was very informative and I received beneficial information about gun laws and firearm training.
This was a very good experience, the instructor was knowledgeable, down to earth, and personable. He demonstrated the highest level of care and professionalism. I strongly recommend him and the course for anyone who needs an introductory firearms course.
I attended my first class today. The class itself was very informative and the instructor Marcus was very knowledgeable of the laws and the weapons. We attended the gun range where he stood by your side and gave you step by step instructions on shooting the weapon. He gives you options as to which gun your comfortable with. I would recommend using him.
He is the greatest teacher to us learn how to instruction and explain understanding and used to common. Also show to properly position and point and safe.
It was my first time handling a gun. Marcus did a great job teaching me all the gun safety and how to shoot. Thanks to him I am more comfortable handling a gun. I will make sure to register my wife to his gun safety class and I will go back for the CCW course. Its a very friendly and educational environment. Thanks Marcus!

I highly recommend North Kersey Firearms Training. Marcus is extremely knowledgeable on all laws and a very experienced instructor. Thanks for the training!!!
Marcus is incredibly knowledgeable, down to earth, and experienced. As a beginner, I came in a bit nervous and not knowing what to expect. Because of the small class sizes (which is ideal) Marcus was able to teach me the important information in an easy-to-understand way and personally guided me to help me feel more comfortable. Worth the price and then some! Will definitely be taking another class with North Jersey Firearms Training!

Marcus Marquez @ Northjerseyfirearmstraining is a master instructor. I’m an educator, older adult and a firearms Novice. After the Introductory course, I’ve learned the essentials of Firearms Safety for NJ, such as - the best practices to ensure respect and responsibility of firearm ownership and use. Most of all he was responsive to my questions, and showed empathy for my anxiety as a mature female. After my first gun shooting at the indoor range, I remember shaking and being shocked by the power of pulling the trigger and loud bangs. Marcus showed compassion for my panic attack and with patience , he checked in with me to describe how I felt and to tell him when I was ready to proceed with the training at the range. Most of all I appreciated that he never discouraged me or made me feel badly about my initial reaction to all of the new stimulus around me. I look forward to continue my training, increased target focus and desensitization to the loud sound of shooting. I hope to gain confidence, and competency in my being comfortable at the range and progression in my firearm skills with Marcus and continued training at a local range. Thank you D
I’ll start off by saying that Marcus is very knowledgeable and professional. His class was very informative and very helpful to understand the responsibilities of being a firearm owner. I would highly recommend anyone to book a course with him anytime!
Excellent training. Perfect class size where you can get the attention you need and not feel like your unattended.

I recently attended a seminar for firearm safety with instructor Marcus and I must say that it was a great experience!

I highly recommend this class!!!
