Join Us for Live, In-Person Training
For the first time, Special Tactics is honored to offer live, in-person training courses for civilians, law-enforcement officers and military personnel provided by senior special operations veterans from Tier-1 Special Missions Units. We will be publishing more articles on our training philosophy and innovative training methods in the days and weeks to come. If you are interested in attending our in-person courses or requesting a custom course for a large group, department or unit, click below to contact us.
Our in-person training courses are designed to seamlessly integrate with our tactical manuals and our new online distance learning courses. We currently have online courses available for Single-Person CQB and Two-Person CQB with more CQB courses and other tactics courses on the way. Taking the online courses prior to in-person training allows instructors to skip much of the classroom portions of instruction and go straight to the shoothouse or range.

Our training courses focus as much as possible on realistic scenarios and hands-on, practical applications. All courses are modular and customizable, allowing you to tailor training to your specific time constraints and mission requirements. Below is a partial list of our main training topic offerings.
