FIREARMS & HOME DEFENSE TACTICS
Become your own first responder
INTRODUCTION TO HANDGUN
This 5-hour course is for anyone considering owning or carrying a firearm for self-defense, regardless of experience level. This course covers shooting fundamentals; the physiology of violent encounters; the legal aspects of using deadly force (including knowing what to do in the aftermath); and a complete guide on gear, gadgets, and ongoing training.
AWAREâ„¢
BEHAVIORAL-BASED THREAT DETECTION
Our AWARE training program teaches the skills to proactively identify bad actors based on specific behaviors and respond to violent intent before a physical attack materializes, giving you the ability to prevent--rather than react to--an attack. We train a specific methodology based in behavioral sciences, neurology, and physiology that until recently has been limited to a select few trained intelligence, law enforcement, and military professionals.
​
Available for organizational, small group, and individual training.
Emergency First-Aid Fundamentals
This 6-hour course covers everything you need to know if you’re ready to become your family’s first responder in an emergency situation like a car accident, serious fall, gunshot wound, or other medical emergencies. During this training, you’ll do more than simply sit in a classroom learning about these topics. We will guide you through a dozen real-world scenarios using simulated patients and the actual products that you’ll need to understand in order to save a life.
