CERTIFIED ADVANCED FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR

 This is a 3-day Instructor Certification Course which is designed to help the currently Certified Concealed Carry Instructor go to the next level of instruction in order to enhance or create their own training courses 

Day 1 is either done as a live Zoom or in-person classroom session where we will take a serious deep dive into:

• Training Philosophies
• Defining Advanced Firearms Training
• Firearms Safety Rules versus Range Safety Rules
• Target Selection/Design and Training Objectives
• Serious Injury Protocol
• Line Drills vs. Solo Drills vs Team Drills
• Advanced Range Drill Formula
• Performance-Based vs Outcome-Based Training
• Advanced Instructor Development (see details in next paragraph)

The Advanced Instructor Development section is a mini-class by itself! This covers various instructional methods designed to enhance a student’s ability to learn survival techniques, increase his/her confidence level and assist in the successful application of the techniques. Subjects included are:

• Identify the three variables that affect survival and combat training
• Identify the two important elements of survival training
• Identify the instructional methods that enhance the student's ability to learn quickly
• Identify three considerations that create a training environment in which the students will have a positive training experience quickly
• Understanding the difference between soft wiring and hard wiring
• Identify and describe the three sequential stages of training
• Identify the stimulus-response training principle.

Day 2 - 3 are both conducted at a live-fire range where instructors will develop, set up, and run each other through the range drills they have created. After each range drill instructors share feedback both from the student's and the instructor's perspective. Creativity and thinking outside the box are emphasized in this course. One unique advantage to Bravo courses is that we bring the range to the road. This means we travel with various range equipment needed for you to develop and administer your advanced range drills including a six-pack steel targeting system, numerous portable target stands, various silhouette/command/shoot and no-shoot targets, vertical/horizontal and V-TAC barricades, orange ground cones, shot-timer and more.

This course provides you not only the information, but you will develop the skills and confidence to create and safely administer your own live-fire range drills. Allowing you to enhance your existing courses and build new dynamic performance-based courses for your customers. Ultimately creating new streams of revenue for your training business.
