A series of courses designed to teach personal protection techniques will be offered during the fall semester by Workforce Development & Continuing Education at Pennsylvania College of Technology.



Basic Firearms for Home Defense and Personal Protection is for adults who own or want to purchase a firearm. This classroom course will cover various types of firearms and accessories; proper storage; federal, state and Concealed Carry laws; and how to develop a personal protection plan. There is a fee of $159 for the course.

Upon successful completion of the first course, participants can develop the skills needed to properly load, efficiently draw and safely handle a handgun in Handgun Handling for Self-Defense – Level I. Handgun Handling for Self-Defense – Level II builds upon skills learned in the previous courses by introducing defensive tactics, movement with a handgun, retention and security, and basic nonlethal defensive movements.
