INSTRUCTOR COURSES

Most intermediate-level certified instructor courses are simply "canned" courses. This means that the instructor MUST teach another organization's training principles, philosophy, techniques, and drills. This not only hinders the instructor's capabilities and growth but also constrains their business opportunities. Flexibility in program design is necessary to stay competitive in the marketplace.

 In an article from Brad Fitzpatrick (published author on concealed carry) "5 Key Factors for Choosing Your Gun  Instructor". Brad mentions that " Bad instructors can only teach a specific curriculum, and don’t have the ability to meet the needs of students with varying skill sets". Now while I would not have used the word "bad", I understand the point that he is trying to convey. While I believe that teaching other organizations courses fill a specific need in the market. I also know that the market is flooded with instructors teaching the same courses and customers are looking for more value from their training. Furthermore, I know that custom course development is an essential core skill that every instructor should have and is exactly what this class accomplishes.

Most "advanced" instructor courses have predetermined range drills that the instructor must use for these courses. This approach not only limits student experiences but allows no flexibility for the instructor to adjust to the skillset and capabilities of their class. Furthermore, the instructor never learns how to develop a range drill or reverse engineer existing drills. This skill is essential for instructors when running advanced-level courses and is a must when mitigating risks to the student.

This course helps the firearms instructor develop these necessary skills while teaching them to create and run their own advanced live-fire range drills using a brilliant formula-based methodology.

Scientific research has demonstrated that stress causes changes to the autonomic nervous system, which can cause changes in an students ability to perform in a combative situation. These changes to performance include vision, motor skills, and cognitive processing. Even though these changes can never be completely negated, proper training and preparation can minimize them. This research is particularly important for those using firearms in a combat environment. It is vital that instructors understand these effects and integrate training techniques that can further increase the survivability of their students.
