A one day course specifically designed for the Maritime industry in accordance with ISO/PAS 28007 Industry best practice guidelines.

If your firearms training provider is not providing full-bore 7.62 mm cal at realistic distances then they are not adhering to either of the above guidelines and are frankly selling you short. Sub calibre .22 weapon systems have almost no recoil and solely training on these weapon systems does not in any way provide firearms competency.

The course is designed so that you can deploy on protection duties safe in the knowledge that you have the correct safe weapon handling skills in all scenarios. Have a good knowledge of the capability of a variety of weapon systems, different calibres as well as the types of ammunition natures you may come across. Firearms safety and good marksmanship are essential to firearms competency. Through a variety of ever more challenging progressive scenarios your skills will be honed and fine-tuned to give you the confidence in your own ability to be part of a professional team and a credit to your chosen PMSC.
