4 Day Breaching Instructor Course
(Thermal-Ballistic-Quickie Saw-Manual)
COURSE OVERVIEW
This instructor level course is intended to take our 2-day end user course to the next level. The course will expose the student to our end user course while being taught the How and Why behind the setup. We will go into great detail about the safety aspects of conducting this type of training, so that when students take the concepts back to their agencies, they will know how to mitigate risk and maximize training time and resources.
This course will have a steady mix of hands-on training and classroom time to discuss case law, video footage relating to breaching, and training setup. We will also set aside one full day to discuss our Train the Trainer philosophy and the teaching methods we use to relay the material, enhancing instructor development.
*Students will be required to perform teach backs on day 4. Students will run the entire class on the last day of training. *
*Students will also be required to complete a written exam. *
Students will practice a variety of breaching techniques to include, including ramming doors, halligan bar applications, sledge hammers, the use of window keys for rake and break/port and cover techniques, thermal cutting, applications for a quickie saw, and shotgun breaching. Techniques in this course will also be performed during nighttime (low light) hours.
