Women Who Train
Empowering South African women to become certified firearm instructors through accredited training, mentorship, and opportunity.
The International Firearm Training Academy (ITA), in partnership with GLOCK International and BERNHARD AGENCIES, proudly presents the Women Who Train Programme, a first-of-its-kind initiative empowering six South African women to become certified firearm instructors.
This campaign is more than training. It’s about representation, safety, and leadership, bridging the gender gap in the firearm training industry and giving women the tools to build successful, respected careers in the firearms industry.
The Opportunity
Successful candidates will receive:
Become a fully qualified, PFTC-registered firearm instructor.
Mentorship from certified professionals.
Backed by leading brands: GLOCK & Bernard Agencies.
Open to all skill levels, no previous experience or firearm training required.
A cost-free opportunity.
Obtain full accreditation as a PFTC-registered firearms instructor.
If you’re ready to take the leap and grow your skills, confidence, and career in the firearms training industry, we want to hear from you. Applications are now open.
Why This Matters
The firearms training industry in South Africa is strong, but to keep moving forward, we must keep evolving. More women are buying firearms. This initiative aims to change the face of firearms instruction, inspire the next generation, and create new pathways for women in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
This is a step towards a more dynamic, forward-thinking industry, where excellence is nurtured, and new voices are empowered to lead.
We’re building on what works, not changing it.
And we’re doing it together.
