Who Teaches Your Class

Colorado Tactics is one instructor, by design.

Every class is taught by John Rader — not a rotating bench of contractors, not whoever was available that weekend. When you book, you know exactly who is standing in front of you.

That matters more than it sounds. Most of what makes instruction work is the instructor noticing the thing you cannot see yourself, and then knowing which of several fixes suits you. That is not a curriculum. It is judgement, and it does not transfer between staff.
