Bringing a SpecTrain class to your area is easy, we mainly just need access to a suitable range and some interested students. Everything else is negotiable. In return for assistance organizing the class, the host receives a free slot to attend the training.

​

Note: the following is for open enrollment courses. For LE & other contract courses we'll customize the course around your needs and resources. Just submit your info, select "Other" for the class, and we'll be in touch ASAP.
 

Host Responsibilities

• Arrange range access. Most suitable ranges across the country are setup primarily for members, and will not accept instructors just calling from across the country asking to use the space. This is where a host comes in. If you own a range obviously this process is easy. If you are a decision maker or board maker at a range facility this also usually makes it easy. If you not, you usually need to at least be a member of the range in good standing to be heard. Usually the best course of action is the attend a board meeting, and bring up the possibility of hosting a class. You'll want to have all the details figured out prior to this including class size, any required resource access etc. Ideally have this in writing in the form of a written proposal. Note: In order to host Level-Up classes outside of driving distance it usually needs to be a range that already hosts matches, and will allows us access to their stage building props.

• Arrange required resources. This changes from class to class. If you are close enough to NC I may be able to bring in all required resources with me (including stage building props etc). In some cases I just need a place to ship targets. For Level-Up Classes we'll need access to the full stage building props etc.

• Help get the word out. Obviously we'll need a certain number of students to make a class happen. We'll do everything we can to promote the class through social media, our existing alumni etc, but anything the host can do to help get the word out to their local area is greatly appreciated.
