I have taken several classes at Sig and I think you get you moneys worth in training.
Enough that I fly in from 1000 miles away.
On one of my trips there, they were training a certain EU hostage rescue team and we watched them do a practice assault.
If that gives you any idea of the quality of instruction they do.
They have a nice training facility (mostly outdoors) and when I was there last fall and they were building a new building.
I think it was a bigger pro-shop and a shooting simulator.
Downside, some of their classes fill up very quickly as they limit the size of the class to 10-12 folks.
If they have a "guest instructor", some of those fill up shortly after the class dates are posted.
You can their firearms for most of the classes they offer, if you don't bring your own. There are a few that you have to bring your own, such as the low light classes and precision rifle.
This is a huge bonus for me logistically. I can fly in, grab a rental car and show up for a class. I travel light when at all possible. Plus it is a good way to test drive some of the equipment you might have been eyeing. I ended up with an X5 Legion this way and I might be buying a MPX shortly.
If you use their firearms you must use their ammo. Sig Academy usually has pretty good prices on their ammo for the classes.
Not sure what you mean by a class that is male and female. All the classes are co-ed expect for the ones that state women only.
There used to be (not sure if she is still there) a female instructor that was a great teacher and good shooter. She was easy on the eyes too.
No excuses, go train.
