Instructor Development Course

For those completing our Sniper / Counter Sniper and Advanced Sniper courses, we introduce the teaching skills necessary to prepare new shooters for sniper duties. The majority of each day is taught by the students to give hands-on experience and confidence to teach these skills on their own.

This course is treated as the latter part of a seven-day course block of instruction since the instructor development portion is only the last two days; the first five being Sniper / Counter Sniper and Advanced Sniper courses, as you are required to teach for two days what was learned in those portions.

Prerequisites: Successful completion of our Sniper / Counter Sniper and Advanced Sniper courses.  (When registering for the Sniper / Counter Sniper course, you may include the Advanced Sniper course and this Instructor Development course as additional and follow on courses since we always offer the courses as a block intending for students to complete one and participate in the other two)
