40-hour police sniper trainer course for experienced snipers and team leaders focused on developing in-service instruction skills.
This 40-hour course is a train-the-trainer program built for experienced police snipers and team leaders who already meet established sniper and instructor prerequisites. It is not a basic sniper class. The focus is on building the skills needed to design, organize, and deliver in-service sniper training within a law enforcement unit.
Instruction uses a mix of classroom lecture, writing assignments, interactive group projects, and range exercises so students work through both the teaching process and the material they will be expected to present. Shooters learn instructional principles alongside practical methods for teaching sniper skills, with the course structured to develop both lesson delivery and training design.
Key training areas include:
This course is best suited for police snipers and team leaders with at least three years of sniper service, prior basic and secondary sniper training, agency authorization, and recognized instructor or firearms instructor certification.
