Training
The SOC training site is located in Central North Carolina. Mobile training teams (MTTs) to a client's training site are also available upon request.
Our goal in training is to; assess, instruct, and ensure the fundamentals in firearms, tactics and medical aid are understood and demonstrated through realistic training. Our training methodology always culminates in scenario-based training which is the gold standard in measuring a student's grasp of the material taught. Scenarios are critical for those who expect or are expected to perform on-demand. There is no substitute.
Our classes are certified NRA pistol/rifle courses. We also offer the North Carolina concealed carry handgun permit certification, to help North Carolinians safely and legally carry a concealed firearm. Our medical courses are taught by a Special Forces Medic (18D) with current National Registry and NC Paramedic license.
All certified courses are taught above and beyond the required curriculum for certification because skills matter in critical situations.
