Conducted over 24hrs, one of Australia's premiere realistic military experiences and personal development courses, SCTN replicates Special Forces selection courses and real-world military operations.
You will find out who you really are under pressure, destroy the limiting beliefs that are holding you back in life, and learn what true Resilience, Teamwork and Leadership is in high-stakes scenarios.

Course Focus: applicable weapons handling for a CQB environment, as well as accuracy while moving as it applies to CQB. This will be in a flat range environment and is NOT a "live fire CQB" course. Day 0 will function like a pistol/rifle clinic, allowing students of lower skill or experience level to catch up to others, and giving more experienced students a refresher on the basics with both platforms, as well as movement, reloads, malfunctions, panning doors, center checking, and dynamic entry with DRY REPS to familiarize with the concepts for Day 1.
At the end of this course, students will be able to accurately and rapidly engage targets with multiple rounds at CQB distances with rifle and pistol.
