Instructor Certifications
Specific pofessional development programs
We offer instructor certifications across the entire force response continuum for operational use of force - from conflict control, to empty hand defence & control, mechanical restraints, intermediate force and firearms. Our instructor certifications are divided into 2 levels: Level 1 focuses on core skills for operational safety training, whilst Level 2 explores advanced concepts to develop operational survival, instructor competency and promote continuous improvement. Programs are progressive in format - core skills progress into intermediate and advanced concepts and methodologies - with instructors learning delivery and assessment strategies for theory and practical components of operational application. The content covers skills for delivering training to personnel in ‘standard’ operational roles, but all programs can be customised to specific agency or operational requirements.
