Valortec

I had an incredible experience training with Valortec. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and truly invested in our growth. Herfel Torres, the head trainer, along with PJ and Carlos, the assistant trainers, brought an amazing combination of military and law enforcement expertise to the course.

What really stood out was the small group setting, which lowed for personalized, one-on-one instruction. They took the time to break everything down, from stance, grip, and eye acquisition to integrating all the pistol mechanics into a smooth, confident foundation. You can tell they are passionate about teaching and committed to helping every student succeed.

Herfel’s sense of humor also kept the class fun and engaging, making it an even better learning environment. It’s rare to find instructors who can be so knowledgeable yet still make you laugh and stay relaxed under pressure.

If you’re serious about improving your skills and want top-tier training from instructors with real-world experience, I can’t recommend Valortec enough. Looking forward to continuing my training journey with them!

If more than 5 stars were possible, I would give them. This was an entirely new discipline than anything I have experienced before. Herfel brought in the world-reknown Jeff Johnsgaard to expose us to this unique learning process for close contact self-defense. Everything about it was new, challenging and thought provoking on many levels. It’s application in many real-life situations becomes readily apparent. Herfel and Jeff are a superb team and this class should be offered on a frequent basis for an opportunity to hone ones skills.

Excellent subject matter, instruction and drills to confirm the information presented.
A starter course for the higher level of self defense/recreational shooter or law enforcement personnel.

Today I feel like the fundamentals of movement all came together from the Pistol Basics and the Alumni Drills to today with Rifle Fundamentals this the a ROCK SOLID and CORRECT way to move with a firearm. Economy of motion. Master the Basics! Great Lesson!

Had an amazing time. But instructors were very knowable and communicated techniques, cues, and tips in a way that was easy to understand and implement into shooting. Looking forward to doing more trainings with Valortec!

This was my first class with Herfel and it was an excellent experience. I’ve taken a few other private classes before with other instructors. Herfel has the benefit of instructing from not only a competitive perspective and the techniques that benefit that type of training but also he’s got an extensive background in the legal, law enforcement side of things as well. He offered lots of information that I hadn’t received in other classes. The information ranged from home defense situations, conceal carrying tips and legalities as well as the traditional training on stance, form and target acquisition. Herfel’s professionalism shines through not only with the effectiveness of his feedback but also maintaining a personable relationship with his students. I never felt like I was messing up because his constructive criticism enhanced and built upon the skills that I had through understanding. Where other instructors could easily make you feel less competent, Herfel reassures and recommends solutions that improve performance throughout the class and afterward. I can’t wait to take another class with him to learn more from such an accomplished and brilliant instructor.

This weekend we attended the basic defensive pistol course and I can confidently say that this was hands down the best firearms instruction I have ever received! Herfel and his team present the material in a real life relatable manner. Not only does he tell you what to do/change/improve, but he tells you why which is important in understanding the connection of the firearm to your body. Herfel is extremely knowledgeable on the biomechanics related to shooting and presents them in a practical manner that makes things click. My fiancee and I both saw marked improvements in one day of instruction.

These guys make it a fun class, and share their real life experiences to help even the beginner shooter progress into a tactical defensive shooter.

They provide a low instructor to student ratio. In my class it was 1:1. Every student is given individualized feedback to allow them to improve. When my partners gun was obviously not a good fit for her these guys let her try some other options to figure out what size pistol she needed.

If you’re looking to sit in a classroom all day, this isn’t the course for you. If you’re looking to spend the day on the range running drills, clearing the shoot house, and gaining knowledge through demonstrated skills then this is the place to do it.

We’re already looking forward to and planning to come back for the advanced class after spending some time practicing what we learned this weekend.

If you’ve read this far, ask Herfel for restaurant recommendations and you won’t be disappointed!

Herfel, Carlos and JP are amazing, very detail orientated, cares about safety, very knowledgeable and great sense of humor. I will be returning to do more classes!! Thank you

Holding a pistol will never be the same again after this class! The 1:1 explanation and specific detailed coaching will bring you to a true place of peace. HIGHLY recommend! Do Not Miss the next one!

Just finished a great class with Herfel! Highly knowledgeable and professional. He did a great job of sharing a lot of real-world information while also focusing in on the basics to ensure we had a good foundation. He is excellent at delivering feedback to help you improve. We definitely plan on joining and enjoying his future classes. Thank you, Herfel!

Loved the course and the personalized attention to correct my form and grip. Learned a lot!

Very informative class with effective exercises. Patient knowledgeable instructors

I just took Valortec’s class for my 24 hours Law Enforcement & loved the class. Herfel & Jose are great guys, they know their stuff, I will be going back to do more classes with them.
If your Law Enforcement or have a K license you need to take a class with them, if your just a shooter & what to up your game get hold of them they can help you.
I’m an Firearms Instructor (Law Enforcement & K) and the guys at Valortec are top of the game, you will learn things.
Thanks so much Herfel & Jose, you guys made a friend, I will be in touch

Where do I start? This is my third class with Valortec and they never disappoint. Excellent training, with the best instructors and a great learning environment. This team is super knowledgeable and will push their students to learn while making training both challenging and fun. I highly recommend Valortec to everyone from beginners to experts.Truly another spectacular experience for me and I am grateful to have trained again with Valortec.

Herfel has exceptional insight and is amazing at transferring his knowledge to even the newest of shooters.

This class was one of the most informative and engaging firearms training class I have attended. I would advise anyone who needs this qualification to attend the class that Valortech instructs. I learned a better technique, in addition the classroom material was easy to understand. I will be returning in the future for additional classes and requalification.

There is something to be said about doing something at the highest level possible and then breaking it down in the basic and easy to understand process…
Thank you to Herfel for pouring your wisdom into all your students in ways that are unique and useful to each individual! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is an understatement! Where else are you going to find authentic, practical and effective training?! VALORTEC! 🥇

This is third class I’ve taken with Valortec as a female who prior to these classes had never done so. I cannot recommend Valortec enough as it truly is an amazing time. This advanced pistol class was a bit of a challenge but not too much. The instructors are always respectful, willing to critique, and be of assistance. I always feel safe in these classes as the Valortec team accepts nothing less. I learn so, so much and cannot thank them enough. Money well worth the investment. I cannot wait for the next class! #HoldTheLine #FrontlineForFreedom🇺🇸

Excellent class, eye opener. Herfel at decision tactical did a great Job

10 stars! Excellent course that offered up an opportunity of lifetime.
