A special offer as part of National Train A Teacher Day. FREE to attend for teachers/youth leaders/ministry. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: VENUE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO THE CLASSROOM OF DEFENSIVE CARRY TRAINING. Having a detailed plan against threats is essential in our responsibility for those in our care.

The purpose of this curriculum is to educate and equip organizations and individuals to develop an effective Emergency Operations Plan. This plan is fitted to your own needs, context, size, and building.

In response to today's threats of violence, instead of wondering "What can be done to stop this?", you will be equipped to say "THIS is what needs to be done to stop these events!"

This class is a 4-hour single session. It begins with careful data analysis of tragic mass shootings from the past twenty years. It teaches the real motivations, profiles the killers, their methods, timelines of the events, and more.
This data then helps your group to deter, prevent, respond to, and mitigate these tragedies based on facts, not theories.

This unique training opportunity can only be presented by a USCCA Official Partner training facility, such as Defensive Carry Training. Students are led in the viewing of a USCCA Proving Ground video of scenario training by a highly certified Training Counselor. Discussion will examine the dynamics of an intense critical stress incident, the proper use of deadly force, what options may be present, and the aftermath of a violent encounter. Following the group examining the incident, the students will be guided through a simulated shooting drill building speed vs. precision skills. Be better prepared for physical, legal, financial, and moral protection in this combination mental and physical training!

Reality-based, interactive training for your brain and skills without the price of ammunition!

This real-world self-defense scenario training is designed to improve your mindset and skills, regardless of experience level or background, in a safe and controlled environment.

In this simulation training class, you will be put in realistic situations with video that responds to your choices which challenges your natural reaction to threats, giving you feedback in real time!

We will begin with the building blocks of defensive shooting, the principles of the legal use of force, then experience multiple scenarios with various outcomes based on the decision process.

We will then examine the outcome in a debriefing session before returning to the scenario again.
