Our curated training option brings Lyceum's expert trainers to you. We will come to your home and train you and a group of up to 15 people to be responsible armed citizens in Maryland.

What our graduates are saying
I expected this training to be a boring and hard to follow. I was so wrong! Not only was the content very informative and interesting, I found the instructor to be outstanding. Mr. Bevard is very knowledgable on this subject...he knows his stuff. I also found that as an instructor he talked with us, not at us, which is rare these days. I highly recommend this training even if you are not sure you want to conceal carry.
Adequate time to complete material. Instructor was knowledgeable, organized and personable.
