The DICTATE Basic Level Instructor Course, presented by Paragon Training Group, inc., was a great success. There was an 80/20 pass/fail ratio. That means more instructors are out there. You need to find one in your area if you want quality self-defense training. If you need help, feel free to contact us to get information on someone in your area.

Paragon is currently setting up more classes with law enforcement and military groups. As soon as we have dates, we'll post them. One more Basic Level Course will be offered; then an Advanced Level course will be given sometime this Fall. You must be certified in the Basic Course to attend Advanced Level Training.

Some of the Course Evaluation Reports and Letters of Recommendation will be posted soon, so you can see what the attendees thought of the training.

Attention All DICTATE Instructors:
