ADVANCING THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF PROFESSIONAL FIREARMS INSTRUCTORS

"Fantastic class! Of all the Law Enforcement firearms instructor classes I've taken in the past 25 years, this was one of the most beneficial to "real world" issues training students" - Mike R., CA.

"This class, from start to finish, was a veritable gold mine of valuable concepts, discussion, and methods.  I filled up the provided notebook with my observations as we went, and I am still unpacking what I learned and considering how to use these things to help me teach students in ways that can help them succeed." - Scott F., WA.


Remedial Training & Coaching Specialist

$450

Many firearms instructor certification courses spend only a few hours on shooting diagnostics and the topic of working with struggling shooters. This course takes a deep dive into the process.

This 2-day / 16-hour instructor development course teaches firearms instructors how to diagnose issues and correct performance for struggling shooters. The course covers vision issues, neurological challenges, and motor skills, then delivers practical solutions. Coach/shooter methodology and support-hand shooting challenge instructors and build empathy. Instructors learn an algorithm to identify problem areas as well as drills and techniques that help build the skills needed to complete law enforcement handgun qualification courses.

If your agency has a remedial training program for shooters who repeatedly fail qualification (and it should), this course can help you revise the program and strengthen the instructors who teach it.

This training course has no expiration date.
