accelerated Courses
All of the courses in our catalog can be delivered in an accelerated format. An accelerated course can provide a great venue to allow you to review material you have previously trained, familiarize yourself with a new weapon system, or simply challenge yourself. An accelerated course can allow you to cover training material in 33%-50% less time than a standard-format course.
Accelerated courses teach the same material contained in their full-length counterparts, but are different in the following ways:
- Condensed instructional blocks
- Abridged lectures
- More time spent on the firing line
- Less reloading time between shooting exercises
- Fewer and shorter breaks
Accelerated courses require that you have taken the course before, taken an equivalent course on a different weapon system, or taken an equivalent course from another major firearms school.
Is an accelerated class right for me?
In an accelerated course, you will be expected to keep up with a faster pace of instruction and exercise. You should already have at least a cursory exposure to some of the material that the course will cover. An accelerated course is a great option for repeating a course, as it allows you to review and practice the skills you learned previously, maximizing your training time and dollar.
Accelerated courses are also a great way to expand your skill set to a different weapon. For example, if you are interested in taking Defensive Rifle I and have already taken Defensive Handgun I, an accelerated Defensive Rifle Course could be a great choice, as you already understand the fundamental concepts of weapon manipulation, marksmanship, and responsibility of being armed. The accelerated format will show you how to apply what you have learned with the handgun to the rifle.
Accelerated courses are probably not a good option for you if you are new to the skills being taught, or if you simply prefer the slower pace and greater depth of instruction of our standard courses.
