His credentials are better than mine would be if I started teaching: he was Law enforcement, been in some gunfights, runs his own security firm.
The thing is, I'm literate. It's silly to have the class read the book out loud when I could read it myself faster and get more from it. (the book is actually pretty good, once I read it. If he's doing this to avoid lecturing... that's just lazy.
This is an introductory class. You don't need to be a high-speed operator to teach it: you need to be a teacher. At the higher level classes, you need more experience. I would never presume to teach a class on, say, sporting clays or house clearing, but a class on sight alignment, sight picture, and not pointing the gun at another person... that I could teach the hell out of, with a bit more knowledge and time.
