Tactical Firearms Instructor Certification (TFIC)

PFC's TFIC is an intensive 5-day program designed to impart the basics of handgun and carbine instruction to already proficient operators. TFIC exemplifies the core of PFC doctrine with a curriculum, which requires more than any other state, local, military or federal firearms certification. Students must successfully pass 6 examinations scoring no lower than 100% on 1 and no lower than 90% on the remaining 5...this is not a "gentlemen’s course." Topics covered will include but are not limited to, safety, instructor development, risk analysis, remediation, development of live-fire evolutions, as well as progressive operation of the handgun and carbine systems. Evaluations consist of a comprehensive written exam, dry fire Limited Scope Performance Test (LSPT), Live Fire Skills Test (LFST), classroom presentation, student-led live-fire evolution, and construction of a hazard-mitigating 'risk analysis tool.' Graduates will be able to safely instruct students in handgun and carbine fundamentals as well as develop and run basic live-fire evolutions. As some material is of a sensitive nature, TFIC applicants are screened on a case-by-case basis. NOTE: TFIC is not a "how to shoot" course, and as such, students who lack superior skills upon arrival stand a very low chance of successfully completing the Live Fire Skills Test which will only be administered a limited number of times. Registered applicants may request a copy of this skills test for practice prior to the course.
Prerequisites: None. However, superior weapons skills upon arrival will greatly increase the likelihood of graduation.
