Our Story

Welcome to International Tactical Training Seminars

ITTS was born out of necessity when co-founders Brett McQueen and Scott Reitz recognized that too many people, both civilians and those in professions using firearms, were not nearly as proficient as they needed to be—proficiency that would be demanded of them in a real gunfight.

From the moment you arrive to train with us, we do our utmost to make you feel like a welcomed and valued member of the ITTS family. The camaraderie built between our staff and students is very much the fabric of the ITTS experience.

We developed and honed the ITTS training system to provide the most comprehensive and effective training based on professional, real-world experience. Our training has been adapted to reflect real-life encounters on the battlefield, in city streets, or in the home. Everything we teach has been tested by those whose very survival depends on implementing the most effective techniques in a deadly force encounter.

Our goal is to build your foundation of skills and then encourage you to think outside the box during problem-solving scenarios and simulations of actual encounters through the numerous classes we offer.

Everyone we train, whether a first-time civilian shooter or an experienced operator, is given individual attention and the confidence to achieve a higher level of understanding on how to survive a gunfight. Those of our students who have been involved in deadly force encounters have not only survived but have performed admirably and within the confines of the law.

Safety is strictly enforced on our range. When you attend a class, you will be taught the safest method of training available anywhere. We have a high staff-to-student ratio, so someone is always close by. ITTS maintains an unblemished safety record.

No matter who you are, we have a program that will fit your needs!

You put your trust in us.
We maintain it by delivering safe and practical
real world techniques in a no-nonsense approach.

What Students Say

“I’ve learned more in one day at ITTS than I learned at other ‘high-end’ 3-5 day schools and at a fraction of the cost! This is an enormous bargain”.
Brad D.USMC
“For the last few years I have been trying to figure out how to shoot long range. No matter what books you read, or videos you watch it is very confusing. Scott and his associate instructors took the mystery out of "Sniper" shooting. By the end of day 2 I was figuring out my own fire solutions and hit targets out to 851 yards. I would advise anyone who wants to learn to shoot and shoot well to come to ITTS to learn. They are professional and get you to where you want to be. No need to travel out to Nevada to learn to shoot. The best course is here in Los Angeles back yard. This is my second time enlisting in their classes. I plan to come back.”
Max H.Los Angeles, CA
“Who would have guessed that I would enjoy the Handgun I class SO much, that I'd be signing up for Handgun II! I'm not the typical fit, athletic type you would imagine taking this course, I'm just a regular middle aged mom thinking about owning a gun...wow, I was able to shoot a head shot at 50 yards on the first day and my accuracy was pretty dang good! Amazing group of professionals, they are the real deal! Best investment I have ever made, worth its weight in gold.”
Maria V.Los Angeles, CA
“Scott is unequivocally the most knowledgeable instructor I had ever met. He is decisive, humorous, challenging and knows his subject backwards and forwards. He can be tough when he needs to be and yet, very patient and gentle when the occasion presents itself. Being in a class with both Scott and Brett is one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had in a class. He may be the tough former SWAT cop, but he was a real gentleman with us!”
Derrick M.San Diego, CA
“Just finished my third class with ITTS this past weekend and as usual, it was worth every penny. I'll keep going back until I run out of money!”
Jon B.Los Angeles, CA
“In my 20 years of law enforcement experience, I can’t believe how much I learned at ITTS in one class. It has completely turned around my ability to defend myself.”
Jason P.Atlanta PD
“It was a phenomenal class. I have been to a lot of classes from many different instructors, but I have to say this class was probably one of the best courses I have been to. Very few of the instructors out there have as much teaching points for law enforcement as Scott does. I found it very valuable and took a tremendous amount from the class.”
Edward B.Boston PD
“The best experience you can have. They really take the time to help you. And they will work with you no matter what level of experience you have.”
Alex A.Los Angeles, CA
“I took Handgun 1 this past weekend and it's not worth $400...it's worth way more. If your serious about learning from A++ instructors and staff, and care about the skills and fundamentals to shooting, you can't pick a better school. I was there Saturday and Sunday, and I was on the phone on Monday to schedule the Handgun 2 class. Best experience I could ask for.”
Max K.Los Angeles, CA
“I have trained with international tactical many times! I always have fun and always learn something new! Their courses are great for beginners and even better for upper level shooters like my self. Their courses keep you fresh and make you think about different scenarios that can happen in every day life.”
Raymond G.Los Angeles, CA
