He was the first private sector trainer to offer instruction on that type of material to the general public. He knows more about that particular topic, and how cases have played out in courts all over the US, than anyone else in the industry.
Our course fee is $450, not $400 as posted on Mas' site because we are providing a catered lunch each day as part of the training.
We are not holding the course at my range 1 hour from Austin but instead have rented a nice conference room in Austin, to make the training more convenient to more people. The intent of providing lunch was to prevent a common problem that occurs when you let people off campus for lunch, which is people getting back late and delaying the resumption of class. That was a concern, given the length of the class days. We thought it would be better to provide a working lunch format rather than run class until 7 pm each night. The catering includes morning/afternoon snacks as well as lunch.
Mas doesn't come to Texas very often. 20 years ago when I wanted to train with him, I had to fly to Oregon for the class, because there was nothing available anywhere in our region.
The national standard for 'traveling instructor' training ranges from $200-300 per 8 hour day. The price for the course is in line with the other traveling instructors that I host each year: Tom Givens, Ben Stoeger, Robert Vogel, Southnarc, Lone Star Medics, InSights Training, Max Michel and others.
