Private Training

Focused instruction. Your goals. Your pace.

Private Training is the most direct way to experience the MVTS standard — a dedicated instructor team, a controlled environment, and a curriculum built around exactly what you want to achieve. You get the same disciplined structure, the same safety protocols, and the same professional coaching as our full courses, delivered on your schedule and tailored to you or your group, all in a confidential, judgment‑free setting.

Every private session is staffed by a dedicated instructor team.  A minimum of two instructors ensures balanced supervision, constant oversight, and the same uncompromising safety standards found in our full MVTS courses. This structure keeps your training focused, disciplined, and professionally supported from start to finish.

Private Training is available for 1–5 students, keeping the environment controlled, efficient, and built for real progress. Whether you’re training alone, with a partner, or with a small group, you receive the full attention and professionalism MVTS is known for — with the privacy and discretion many students prefer.

What's Offered In Private Training

Private Training gives you access to personalized versions of our core courses, along with focused skill‑development blocks for students with prior experience. Each option maintains the same disciplined structure and safety standards as our full MVTS curriculum — simply delivered in a private, controlled environment.

Private Pathfinder
A private version of our introductory course. Ideal for new shooters who want a quiet, controlled environment to build foundational skills with direct instructor support.

Private Scout
A private version of our two‑day beginner course. Designed for students who want more individualized pacing while reinforcing core skills and safe weapon handling.
‍
Shield Maiden (Women‑Only)
A private, women‑only training option designed to build confidence, capability, and situational awareness in a supportive environment. Shield Maiden sessions can include CCW fundamentals, self‑defense, mindset, and personal safety strategies — all taught with professionalism, respect, and discretion.

ADDITIONAL PRIVATE TRAINING OPTIONS

Private Training also gives you access to specialized skill tracks that are not part of our standard firearms progression.
‍These sessions are ideal for individuals or small groups who want focused instruction in a confidential, judgment‑free environment.

Self‑Defense (Empty Hand)
A structured introduction to practical, real‑world defensive skills. Students learn how to create space, break contact, and protect themselves long enough to reach safety or access additional tools. This is not sport fighting — it’s controlled, purpose‑driven self‑defense built around clarity, confidence, and survivability.

Verbal Tactics (De‑Escalation)
A communication‑focused session designed to help students recognize, defuse, and navigate confrontational situations before they become physical. This track emphasizes awareness, posture, tone, and decision‑making under stress — skills that apply to everyday life as much as defensive scenarios.

Bleed Smart (Lifesaving Interventions)
‍A comprehensive lifesaving fundamentals session covering the critical skills every prepared individual should know. Students learn how to recognize life‑threatening bleeding, apply immediate interventions, and manage critical injuries long enough for professional help to arrive. This session also includes CPR and essential first‑aid principles, giving students a well‑rounded foundation in emergency response — all taught in a private, controlled, and confidential environment.

Duration/ What you will need


Private Training follows the same structure and equipment expectations as the class you’re choosing to take privately. Review the standard course page for the session you’re booking — Pathfinder, Scout, or any specialized skill track — and plan accordingly.

If you’re scheduling an à‑la‑carte skill block, speak directly with your instructor during booking to confirm session length, equipment needs, and any specific goals you want to address.Private Training delivers the same curriculum and standards as our full courses — simply in a focused, personalized format with your own instructor team.

Training Approach

Private Training is built around deliberate, structured progression. Every session begins with a clear objective, a defined standard, and a pace set by your performance — not by a preset timeline. Your instructor team evaluates where you are, identifies what needs to be strengthened, and builds the session around purposeful, repeatable reps that develop confidence and capability under control.

Instruction is direct, professional, and focused on clarity. You receive immediate correction, consistent feedback, and the kind of detailed attention that’s only possible in a private environment. Whether you’re reinforcing fundamentals or refining advanced skills, the emphasis remains the same: disciplined execution, safe handling, and measurable improvement.

Private Training is not a shortcut or a watered‑down version of our courses. It is the MVTS standard delivered with precision, intention, and the full support of a dedicated instructor team — ensuring every rep, every drill, and every decision is guided, supervised, and aligned with your goals.

SAFETY EXPECTATIONS

Safety is the highest priority at Mountain Viking Tactical Solutions. All students are expected to follow instructor directions, maintain awareness, and uphold MVTS safety standards at all times. Any unsafe behavior, reckless conduct, or actions that endanger others will be addressed immediately. Safety violations on the range will result in dismissal from the class with no refund. These standards protect every student, every instructor, and the integrity of the training environment.

Concealed Carry (CCW) Course

Our Mountain Viking CCW Course is designed to give you the knowledge, confidence, and legal understanding you need to carry responsibly.
