Looking for a trainer in the Chicago area we can refer new shooters to

We're in the process of putting together a self defense class for the women in our church. As part of that we'd like to be able to refer any women interested in purchasing/carrying a gun to a quality trainer. These would most likely be new shooters. There's no shortage of trainers here, but none that I know and feel comfortable referring people to. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good trainer.

Thanks for the information and the offer to help. It's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks. Looks like Excel and WOT are getting good reviews there.

I shoot at Maxon Shooter's Supply in Des Plaines, which is a very well run gun shop and indoor range. I personally have not taken their safety and training classes, but judging from the professionalism and courtesy of the staff I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Thanks. I've been there a few times and it is a great range. I didn't know they had those classes, especially the Well Armed Woman class.
