ADAPT Academy

ADAPT, the Academy of Defensive and Protective Training, is a private educational institution based in Las Vegas, Nevada, with training also associated with Quincy, Washington. It provides professional development and practical instruction for military personnel, law enforcement, professional security, shooting sports participants, and people seeking personal self-defense skills. Its offerings include concealed firearms permit courses, classroom education, and range instruction, with a cited course format combining four hours of lecture and four hours of hands-on range training.

ADAPT’s Foundry Sessions cover pistol, rifle, shotgun, edged weapons, and empty-hand skills. These four-hour sessions focus on fundamentals, new techniques, combat mindset, and individualized feedback, and are intended for both beginners and experienced participants. The academy also offers private on-site and in-home training, with options tailored to clients’ goals, schedules, and budgets; instructors may travel to a home range where course offerings are unavailable.
