Firearms Instructor Refresher Training Program

Description

The Firearms Instructor Refresher Training Program (FIRTP) is designed to update field firearms instructors with contemporary firearms issues, trends, tactics, and training techniques. Topics that become current and timely are integrated into the program. The program objectives are achieved through classroom discussions and practical hands-on exercises. All students are required to safely complete several dynamic "live fire" steel stress courses demonstrating individual firearms proficiency as a "shooter" and instructor skills as a coach.
