Three levels of Firearms courses

1. Bronze - An introduction to weapons handling and safety on set. Using blank firing and high velocity weapons on a military 25m firearms range, actors are taught to shoot to a level of a UK Police firearms officer in both the Glock 17 handgun and the G36C Carbine in both uniform and CID scenarios.  The best way for an actor to display a high level of safety and authenticity on set is to actually be taught the principles of shooting.  

2. Silver - Building on the principles of the Bronze course, actors are taught the basic tactics commonly seen on screen. Skills in building entries and searches, low level vehicle armed stops and dealing with armed suspects on foot give the students the first level of armed tactical training.  Utilising a military 'skills house' ensures a high level of tactical authenticity.  Students are introduced to distraction devices (stun grenades).

3. Gold - Advanced tactical training expose the students to emergency scenarios and hostage rescue drills.  This includes the use of smoke and distraction type devices. 

All courses take place at a secure military venues in Lancashire and Merseyside and are specifically designed for actors. We have a maximum class size of 6 to ensure a high level of trainer / student contact. Successful students will receive videos and photos taken during the course.
