DEFENSIVE PISTOL SKILLS PROGRAM
We have created a 40 hour certification and challenge coin that will be awarded to students that have completed 40 hours of training with us. The core curriculum is Texas LTC (from any trainer), DPS-1, DPS-2, DPS-3, Personal Tactics Skills, Beyond Basics Handgun, AT-2 Scenarios, Low Light Shooting, and at least one from a list of elective courses. We are offering several of the rarely offered classes in this program (Personal Tactics Skills June 9, Defensive Pistol Skills 3 August 11) over the next few months so students that are close to completing the program requirements can earn their coins.
