Their flagship Enhanced Concealed Weapons Permit (ECWP) course exceeds Idahos minimum requirements: a legal classroom block of approximately three hours featuring state law and use-of-force guidance, followed by a six- to seven-hour live-fire qualification day at Double Tapp Boise Private Range. The training is designed for busy adults and guarantees practical readinessnot just permit compliance. Private lessons are available in modular formatstwo, four, or six-hour blocksand tailored to student goals, whether basic handgun fundamentals, advanced drawing and malfunction drills, or womens self-defense training.

IDS also offers subscription tiers such as Guardian Member and Patriots Elite that bundle monthly live-fire sessions, permit qualification, private lesson discounts, and video coaching access, turning training into continuous development rather than a one-off class. A key differentiator is IDSs principle-based training philosophy: students study why before how, prioritizing realism over gimmicks, and focusing on repeatable skills tied to measurable standards.

One student testimonial summed it up: The instructors are top-notch they train you beyond the basics and make sure you truly know the skill before qualifying.
