Course Descriptions
Basic
The Basic Sniper/Observer Course is for the newly assigned Sniper/Observer.
The student should have very little knowledge of the Sniper/Observer position.
This course will allow the newly assigned Sniper/Observer to have a solid grasp on their new position within their team, and will give them the knowledge they will need to successfully carry out a tactical operation.
Graduates of this course may immediately enroll into the Advanced Course upon their successful completion of the Basic Course.
Advanced
The Advanced Sniper/Observer Course is for students who are graduates of our Basic Course, a previous graduate of a separate Basic Course (copy of Certificate is required), or a Sniper/Operator that has held this position on their team and has substantial in-service training.
This course will challenge the Sniper/Observer and will allow them to build on their current skills.
Class Availability
Each course (Basic / Advanced) will be a maximum of 16 students.
Registration will be on a first come first served basis.
All Personnel Must Complete and Attach the Liability Waiver Form to the Registration Sheet.
