Force on Force Civilian Instructor Certification - PS&Ed - Public Safety and EducationPS&Ed

For many years, law enforcement and military around the world, have used force-on-force products such as UTM and Simunitions to train their officers and soldiers. This course is for those civilian instructors wanting to offer the most realistic training to their civilian students. If you are a civilian instructor, such as with the NRA, USCCA, or with your state, and want to teach Reality-Based Force-on-Force Courses to your students using non-lethal training guns, ammunition, and other products, this is the course for you!

The objective of this course is to provide a working knowledge of force on force encounters. You will learn valuable force-on-force drills utilizing fof products that can be taken back and integrated into your current classes and/or create new Force-on-Force courses to offer your client base. Giving your students top notch self-defense training, as-close-to-realistic-as-possible, is what prepares them for real life deadly encounters. Contextual training is imperative to surviving life or death situations! Offering this type of training is also what separates the vast amount of firearms instructors in the over-saturated lake of experts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I am already certified as a UTM instructor. Why do I need this course?
- This is a different course than the three day LE instructor course. Up until this course UTM only taught a LE/Mil course with tactics that benefitted those type of students in their profession. In the past they have allowed some civilian instructors to attend that course. If you are current law enforcement and attended the three-day UTM instructor course you are certified to teach the UTM training model with the UTM products to LE. This course is a brand new course that is specific for civilian instructors to teach civilians using UTM products and the UTM training model. The curriculum matches what civilian instructors are actually teaching, or should be teaching, their civilian students. We also cover insurance options and many other things that are not covered in the LE course.
I took an online course and was certified by UTM. Is this the same course?
- There are a few UTM online courses. The most common is the online PTO course which is a 45 minute video covering products with a short test at the end. This is required to become a PTO and in turn that allows you to purchase UTM products. Attending and passing this in-person UTM Certified Civilian Instructor Course will wave the $100 fee to become a PTO. It also provides you with valuable training, see below and above, that can be brought back to teach to your students.
I am a seasoned instructor and already use UTM products. What can this course do for me?
- First, please read the reviews above from other seasoned instructors that have taken this course. Second, if you are already a PTO, own UTM products, and teach using them you will get value from this course in these ways. 1. You will be officially certified as one of a small group of UTM Civilian Instructors. 2. You will gain insight on how to integrate the drills presented into your current classes. 3. You can use the scenarios presented to create new curriculum to offer your current client base. 4. You will be keeping fresh on your training as an instructor, because it is perishable for seasoned instructors as well.
I use a similar competitors product and/or attended their course. What makes UTM products and/or this course different?
- UTM designed the UTX ammunition to work in other industry conversion kits to mitigate known issues such as malfunctions and down time to clean guns during training. As for this course, we suggest reading the feedback above from instructors that have taken this course. Also, read over the above FAQ info and compare it to the course that you attended.
I can purchase UTM products already because I am a NRA/USCCA instructor.
- UTM allows NRA/USCCA instructors to purchase their TBR product line but no FoF products. This course will unlock your ability to have access to the entire UTM product line.
