There are two components to this answer: 1) The foundation of the methodology taught for instructors to deliver the course, and 2) the foundation of the techniques taught.

Instructor Methodology

The methodology on which this instructor credential is based roots from two components:

1.   The research developed by Bruce K. Siddle on the transfer of technical skills.  The course includes an original copy of Bruce K. Siddle’s book: Sharpening the Warrior Edge so you possess the original research in its integrity that will be discussed during the “Instructor Techniques System” component.

2.   The research developed by Bernard Martinage for the “Accredited Educator” and “Accredited Coach” credentials he developed for a company that serves Fortune-500 Companies and hosts over 4,000 certifications annually. 

The Safe N Secure  Instructor Technique System is exclusively made from Bernard Martinage’s work that has lead him to be nominated three times as a Faculty Speaker at Commencement at a world renown college.

The work is organized to remove any redundancy with the training provided by the NRA in its “BIT” (Basic Instructor Training).

Techniques taught

The firearm techniques presented and taught in the materials are serious, proven and effective. They were extracted from Police Special Operations training and modified to meet the reality of self-defense at home and on the street. The techniques and strategies are simple, effective and straight to the point. They have been endorsed by military and law enforcement personnel in multiple states as well as Firearm Instructors and Training Counselors.
