can be adapted in the classroom for multiple levels of experience and
understanding.
Training Goals and Objectives
Developed over two decades of real world experience and close interaction
with military, law enforcement & security professionals. This groundbreaking
program exposes the attendee to the foundations & advanced concepts of close
quarters environments & engagements. Going far beyond the various technique
based systems that are provided by many training organizations, ECQC
provides attendees with flexible & fluid methods of operating in dynamic &
unpredictable environments.
Much more then simply a shooting or movement course, ECQC focuses on proven
principles, as well as the underlying processes that determine the outcome
of a given situations.
The core principles of CQB/CQC, strategy, tactics, teamwork, bio-mechanics
and timing are presented, tested and reinforced continuously through out the
ECQC program. Participants are challenged both mentally and physically to
solve complex situational problems utilizing flexible initiative based
methods.
ECQC is a physically & mentally taxing program. Participants must come
prepared with all required equipment and be prepared to work full days.
The course will be directed at a multi agency/multi disciplinary approach to
protective service operations. Several areas will be addressed; each area by
it self is an area of expertise requiring detailed individual course
instruction.
Training Audience, Format and Content
This is an advanced skill development course designed for the armed
professional currently engaged in tactical operations or initiating a
tactical program, at the law enforcement or military level.
This course is most successful when taught and received with audiences of 30
officers or fewer, but has been given in groups of 100 or more with
successful reviews. The smaller groups enable officers to have more direct
dialog & contact with the instructors and the other students.
The course is designed in 3 and 5 day sessions with each day involving the
exploration of a different topic and the reinforcement of previous learned
material. The course is generally designed to run from 0800 to 1800 hours
daily, but can be manipulated for evenings and extended days as needed.
