Intermediate Protective Pistol Skills (IPPS)

Course Details

Intermediate PPS begins on Day-1 by combining the proven foundation of PFC’s Combative Concealed Handgun and core Protective Pistol Skills curriculum.  Moving to the next level, we continue on Day-2 with more nuanced skills that challenge and develop student proficiency; both individually and as a team member.  These additional training topics include high performance threat engagement, Check-Cover Drills, dynamic movement drills, joining in-progress, Team Barricade Tactics, Principal Barricade Tactics, and introductory stages of the Detail Assault Response & Evacuation (DARE) Drill Series.  Students will also participate in the Congested Space Armed Response Skills Test for practice and standards evaluation.  IPPS training concludes with Attack-on-Principal (AOP) scenarios that incorporate decision making under duress, teamwork, and trauma care skills. No other EP-centric firearms instruction offers the same experience in two solid days of training.  This course will better prepare protection agents for high liability and high stakes armed use of force.
