SUMMARY:Combative Concealed Handgun (CCH)
DESCRIPTION:Despite the proliferation of concealed carry weapon licenses issued for responsible citizens or security professionals\, none of these programs teach or train the end-user Combative Concealed Handgun (CCH) to work with and from a covered weapon. Also\, off-duty or plainclothes law enforcement officers do not receive adequate training from their agencies when it comes to carrying and drawing their concealed weapons. This one-day program is designed to teach the necessary skills to safely carry and dynamically present a handgun from concealment during use-of-force encounters. Students will be taught different techniques for deploying their handgun from a variety of concealed carry methods and positions. Topics covered will include wardrobe selection and modification\, support equipment\, legal considerations\, use of force doctrine\, methods of concealment and deployment\, progressive handgun skills\, intensive concealed weapon drilling\, and unconventional tactics for accessing and fighting with a concealed handgun. This course is a must for any responsible concealed weapon carrier. \n  \nPre-requisite: None \n  \nEnrollment: Open \n

SUMMARY:Academy of Protective Studies: Protective Pistol Skills (PPS) - Fredericksburg\, VA
DESCRIPTION:Protective Pistol Skills (PPS) is the entirely range-based weapons-centric component of PFC’s nationally recognized Protective Security Operations Certification (PSOC*). PPS allows students to focus on a concealed handgun’s safe and practical use during protective operations.  \nTraining includes: \n\nCombative handgun skills applicable to personal security\nPrincipal Cover & Control Techniques\nLone Agent Protective Shooting (LAPS) Drills\nDetail Assault Response & Evacuation (DARE) Drills\nThe PSOC/PPS Live Fire Skills Test***\n\nStudents will learn both individual and team-based tactics with firearms as they apply to third-person/principal defense.  \n  \n*Protection Agent Development (PAD) and Protective Pistol Skills (PPS) comprise the PSOC curriculum.  \n  \n*** Please note the following critical information regarding Protective Pistol Skills (PPS):\nPPS is an advanced program\, it is NOT a “how to shoot course.” All students must have a solid base of combative level handgun skills upon arrival. \n  \nThese skills include but are not limited to: \n1. Presenting the firearm safely from concealment\n2. Engage multiple areas on the body to include headshots from intermediate distances\n3. Accurately shoot one-handed\n4. Operate on a fluid/dynamic range\n5. Safely operate in close proximity to others \n  \nThose who arrive without the requisite skill level run a high risk of removal from training for cause and a higher level of failing to pass the live-fire skills test. The pace of the program will be subjective\, based upon PFC protocols and group aptitude. Students must maintain a safe pace with their peers. It is critical that students bring ALL items of prescribed equipment to the program. This includes concealment holster (trigger finger actuated/SERPAs are forbidden)\, concealment garment(s)\, support equipment\, quality ammunition\, etc. A full equipment list will be provided upon registration. \n  \nNumerous students in the past have found themselves in the unenviable position of prematurely registering for PPS when they truly need a foundational course in a PFC progressive handgun course. PFC retains final judgment on ALL training and safety matters. \n  \nEnrollment: Open to active security professionals\, law enforcement\, Department of Defense\, government agencies\, eligible government contractors\, and approved civilians with a security industry affiliation. \n  \nPre-requisite: Approved prior commercial or occupational handgun training. \n  \nCourse Fee: $300/per student \n  \nAll applicants must be approved to register: \nPlease submit a Restricted Program Approval Request. \nA course registration link will be sent upon approval.  \n

SUMMARY:Combative Concealed Handgun (CCH)
DESCRIPTION:Despite the proliferation of concealed carry weapon licenses issued for responsible citizens or security professionals\, none of these programs teach or train the end-user Combative Concealed Handgun (CCH) to work with and from a covered weapon. Also\, off-duty or plainclothes law enforcement officers do not receive adequate training from their agencies when it comes to carrying and drawing their concealed weapons. This one-day program is designed to teach the necessary skills to safely carry and dynamically present a handgun from concealment during use-of-force encounters. Students will be taught different techniques for deploying their handgun from a variety of concealed carry methods and positions. Topics covered will include wardrobe selection and modification\, support equipment\, legal considerations\, use of force doctrine\, methods of concealment and deployment\, progressive handgun skills\, intensive concealed weapon drilling\, and unconventional tactics for accessing and fighting with a concealed handgun. This course is a must for any responsible concealed weapon carrier. \n  \nPre-requisite: None \n  \nEnrollment: Open \n
