Since 2019, Valortec has been Orlando’s trusted partner in professional firearms training and tactical instruction.

About Valortec
Orlando’s Premier Firearms Training Team
Our courses are available only to U.S. citizens (both natural-born and naturalized immigrants) and lawful permanent residents (green card holders).
In accordance with the Department of State’s regulations regarding the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), certain non-U.S. citizens are not allowed to participate in our training courses. Only non-U.S. citizens who are lawful permanent residents are eligible to attend. We reserve the right to verify the U.S. residency status of any student.
Our Instructors
Valortec’s instructors aren’t just teachers—they’re seasoned professionals with backgrounds that inspire confidence. Led by Master Law Enforcement Instructor Herfel “Boots” Torres, our diverse team includes veterans from law enforcement, military special operations, and national security sectors. This wealth of real-world experience informs our practical, no-nonsense approach to firearms training in Orlando.

The Valortec Difference
What sets our firearms training in Orlando apart is our Defensive Armed Response Training (D.A.R.T.) system—a carefully structured pathway developed specifically for civilians. Unlike standard range experiences that focus on stationary targets in ideal conditions, D.A.R.T. acknowledges that real defensive encounters happen in imperfect environments—often in low light, under extreme stress, and without backup.
Our Training Philosophy
At Valortec, we believe effective self-defense courses require more than just teaching you to hit targets. Our Orlando instructors focus on developing both technical proficiency and critical decision-making skills. Whether you’re pursuing concealed carry classes or advanced tactical firearms instruction, we emphasize responsible ownership, legal awareness, and the mental preparedness essential for real-world protection.
Safety First
Safety isn’t just a procedure at Valortec—it’s our foundation. Every firearms training class in Orlando adheres to strict safety protocols that exceed industry standards. Our instructors maintain vigilant oversight while creating a supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged and skills develop naturally.
