Andrew Branca is currently promoting his live online streaming Advanced Law of Self Defense Course, to take place on 1/8/2022 using Zoom.
During his recent live stream session on YouTube he clarified that this is a re-branding of his course
Law of Self Defense Level I, not a newer more advanced class. He said if you already took Level I and had signed up for this Advanced class thinking it a different course he would refund your money if you ask. He also pointed out that folks do retake the class as refresher, so former students of Level I may wish to take the live Advanced class, both as a refresher, and for the benefit of live Q&A not available in the DVD or streaming versions.
Next, after reading an online review, I signed up for his Law of Self Defense Instructor class, completing it today. It really is a more in-depth course, consisting of roughly 15 hours of streaming lectures in 13 modules, with downloadable files for the slides and supplemental documents. The cost is from $650 to $750 depending on how you pay. A required end of course exam (open "book") is included in the fee. If you must re-test there is a $20 retest fee.
Despite the course name, graduates are NOT allowed to teach his LoSD class, or use any of his LoSD slides and direct content. They are allowed to call themselves
“Law of Self Defense Instructor Program Graduate” or“Graduate of the Law of Self Defense Instructor Program.”
The idea is to prepare grads to teach their own state-specific self defense law classes in their states.
I recommend this instructor course to all attorneys active on THR, and to any other members who teach their local CCW/CHCL courses.
