Alpha Koncepts employs certified law enforcement instructors. However, unlike other tactical training centers, Alpha Koncepts focuses on tactical training for civilians. Located near Chicago, we offer various tactical courses including Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun and Advanced First Aid for emergencies. Our tactical courses are geared for the civilian with specific methods which don’t apply to a military nor law enforcement setting.
Tactical Firearm Training for Civilians
Pistol Tactical Courses
Rifle Tactical Courses
Shotgun Tactical Courses
Civilian Tactics are different from military or law enforcement tactics. The encounters we experience as civilians vary from those that a law enforcement officer or solider may experience. Therefore our response need to vary. Our rules for engagement and legal protections aren’t the same. So when we are training we need to ensure our training answers what is likely to occur in a civilian defensive gun use.

Reality Based Civilian Training
Our training courses are based upon studies of thousands of civilian use of force encounters. This reality based approach ensures our students are training and prepared for the real world. When civilians are attacked, it is very often incredibly fast and exceedingly violent. We will help you be better prepared to defend yourself and those you love.
