SubscribeCTR Security Training Academy believe that whether it's a handgun or a rifle, single shot to fully automatic there is one common denominator that connects them all and that is safe firearms handling.
Because without proper firearms training, you, your friend, family member or even an innocent bystander can become just another statistic in an ever increasing list of people that are seriously injured or killed by poor weapon handling because of a lack of knowledge.
CTR Security Training Academy now provides an answer to this predicament, plus as an added bonus you gain a level 3 qualification through the Open College Network Eastern Region in Firearms Training that will focus on safety.
This is the first academic qualification recognised in the UK and by the Skills for Security, we are hoping with the amount of commitment from companies working in Hostile environments that our Firearms Training course will not only be beneficial to employees but become an absolute safety qualification within hostile environments work.
