 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took the CCW course. There was a lot of good information and resources.  The staff helped me fill out my MD paperwork (extra fee). Which, I was fine paying to make sure everything was properly filled in. And reviewed my application for Utah.  I would recommend  STA.
