INTERMEDIATE FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR

 This is a 4-day Instructor Certification Course that is designed to help the currently Certified Basic Concealed Carry Instructor go to the next level.  Instructors are taught how to effectively teach students firearm skills and develop dynamic and practical range training relevant to their business or client needs. Drills on the range enforce skills in the areas of defensive shooting accuracy, reloads, malfunctions, multiple threats, decision-making, turning drills, challenge commands, identifying threats, tactical use of cover, firing from various positions, and use of verbal commands. Instructors will create their own intermediate-level course and demonstrate their understanding by teaching the course they created using peer and instructor feedback.

One unique advantage to all Bravo Tactical courses is that we bring the "range to the road". This means we travel and supply, for your use, various range equipment for you to teach your intermediate-range drills. This includes an eight-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, a shot-timer, and more.

This course provides you not only the information but will help you develop the skills and confidence to create and safely administer your own custom courses. This will allow you to build performance-based curriculum for your customers using a systematic approach to training, ultimately creating new streams of revenue for your training business and a better overall student/instructor experience.

Day 2 - Classroom and Range: The attendees will participate in first aid trauma response training course utilizing the M.A.R.C.H acronym to learn how to use the medical items found in a common IFAK kit to treat life threatening injuries. Additionally, attendees will perform their Detailed Safety Brief/Emergency Medical Plan as outlined in their own lesson plan.

Day 3-4 - All Range:  Participants will set up, and run each other through segments of their newly created course including range drills. The instructor should be able to explain how they have implemented newly learned training principles, methodologies, and protocols. After each presentation, peer and instructor feedback will be provided to facilitate a constructive review. Creativity and thinking outside the box are emphasized in this course. Discussions will provide further incite into refinement to your curriculum.
