Three-Day Firearms Instructor Development Course (Florida)

For over four decades, Tom has provided firearms training to security staff, military personnel, law enforcement officers, and every day citizens with a focus on personal defense.After a 25-year career in law enforcement and specialized security work, Tom opened his own pistol range in Memphis, TN in 1996.  For 18 years, it was the primary source of handgun carry permit certification for the greater Memphis area.  Soon joined by his wife Lynn, the training duo formed Rangemaster Firearms Training Services to share their expertise with a much broader audience.  They now travel across the country and around the world to arm responsible citizens with the skills and knowledge they need to effectively protect themselves and their families.Tom is certified as a law enforcement firearms instructor by the NRA, the FBI, and the state of Tennessee, and he serves as an expert witness all over the US in cases involving firearms and firearms training. He holds a Master rating in three IDPA Divisions (CDP, ESP and SSP) and has won several state and regional championships. Tom has written well over 100 published magazine articles in SWAT Magazine, Combat Handguns, The American Handgunner and other publications.

Development & Certification Course       
Friday through Sunday, 9am-6pm each day
This is an intensive full three day (24 hours total) course that teaches candidates:
<UL>
<LI>   modern adult learning theory;</LI>
<LI>   preparation, delivery, and documentation of training;</LI>
<LI>   development of training aids, including power points and others;</LI>
<LI>   coaching methodologies, diagnosing and correcting shooters’ errors;</LI>

<LI>   proper handling/operation of a variety of handgun types; and</LI>
<LI>   effective, efficient combat marksmanship techniques.</LI>
</UL>
The course time is divided about equally between classroom sessions and range firing, and each student will fire approximately 1,000 rounds of ammunition. Students will act as coaches for other students, and each will be coached extensively in turn.  Students also receive a 200+ page training manual, which is a valuable information and reference resource.  To graduate from this course, students must pass a shooting qualification and pass a written examination. This course satisfies the training requirements for the Oklahoma CLEET requirements to become an OK SDA Instructor, for a state firearms instructor license in South Carolina by SLED, for 24 hours of continuing education credit in South Carolina by SCCJA,  for 24 hours training credit by Georgia POST, and for in-service training credit for Florida law enforcement officers.
For this course, students will need:
<UL>
<LI> A serviceable sidearm, revolver or semiauto, of at least .38 Special or 9X19mm caliber ( .38 Special, 9mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, .45 Auto);</LI>
<LI> A serviceable uniform duty or concealed carry holster, worn on the belt, of leather or kydex construction, with a covered trigger guard;</LI>
<LI> At least three magazines or speedloaders (more is better);</LI>
<LI> 1,000 rounds of ammunition for the sidearm</LI>
</UL>
Advance registration is required. There are no prerequisites for this course.
The only way we can know that a class is full is when the specified number of students have registered and paid their tuition fees. Once a class is full, we have to turn away others who would like to attend. If you cancel too close to class, or fail to show up for class, you keep someone else from attending and would cost us a student. Please be sure you can attend a class before signing up for it. We believe this policy is fair to you, to other students, and to us.  In order to minimize this, we have strict policies on pre-payment and cancellation.
If a deposit was paid to hold a space, the balance is due in full at least 15 days prior to the class date.  If a student cancels less than 30 days before the class date, there is no refund (either for deposits or for full payments).  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
