At Proactive Training Academy, we believe preparation, education, and confidence are the foundation of personal safety and responsible firearm ownership.

Based in Minnesota, Proactive Training Academy was built to provide practical, real-world training in a professional, welcoming, and supportive environment. Whether you are brand new to firearms, seeking your Minnesota Permit to Carry, renewing your permit, or looking to complete your CPR course, our goal is to help you feel informed, capable, and prepared every step of the way.

We understand that every student comes from a different background and comfort level. That’s why we focus on creating a training experience that is approachable, safety-focused, and tailored to real-life application — not intimidation. Our instructors bring experience, professionalism, and a passion for helping others learn with confidence.

Our courses are designed to go above and beyond simply meeting state requirements. We emphasize:

• Firearm safety and responsible ownership

• Situational awareness and preparedness

• Defensive mindset and decision-making

• Skill development through practical instruction

• Confidence through education and repetition

• Certified firearms tactics instructors

At Proactive Training Academy, we don’t just teach classes — we help build confident, responsible, and prepared individuals.

Whether you’re taking your first class or advancing your skills, we’re proud to serve individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout Minnesota.
