PFC's TFIC is an intensive 5-day program designed to impart modern handgun and carbine instruction to already proficient operators. TFIC exemplifies the core of PFC doctrine with a graduation standard that requires more than any other state, local, military, federal or commercial 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." Training includes safety, instructor development, risk analysis, remediation, development of live fire evolutions, as well as progressive operation of the handgun and carbine systems during tactical encounters. 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 tactical fundamentals as well as develop and run essential 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.

As an extension of PFC’s acclaimed TFIC series spanning over a decade, this 4-day course aims to provide students with the skills needed to safely design, instruct, and implement practical reality-based training. All instruction involves the proper use and application of Non-Lethal Training Ammunition (NLTA) with common Force-on-Force training systems such as UTM or Sims FX.
TFIC-ST is designed specifically for the instructor tasked with delivering Force-on-Force training modules or other Simulation Training Exercises. The use of NLTA is valuable for firearms instructors looking to provide stress-based training that prepares students to prevail in combative encounters. Through the application of different exercise models, use of NLTA exposes students to fluid, reality-based simulations that are dynamic and intense, but safe. Due to the nature and practicality of NLTA, quality training can be conducted anywhere despite venue limitations, live fire range restrictions, or poor weather conditions.
Topics and blocks of instruction in this course include:

Despite the overwhelming number of undercover, low-profile, and off-duty deployments of firearms that officers or security professionals experience, most are wholly unprepared to make the safe transition from the duty-belt system to weapons carry that may include, suits, jeans or plainclothes attire. The stakes involved in concealed presentation are also higher as suspects may consider the good guys to be another criminal/competitor and worthy of resistance. PFC’s Low-profile/Undercover Firearms Instructor Certification course aims to enhance agency capability, officer safety, and mitigate risk through imparting the techniques, tactics and procedures that will allow personnel to dominate encounters with the same level of confidence as if overtly uniformed. This program is expressly designed for those individuals who are already firearms instructors. Over four days, candidates will be exposed to, as well as tested on, advanced level instructor development models (shown to deliver pertinent information faster with a higher level of recall under duress), methods of handgun concealment & presentation, low-visibility carbine deployment, vehicular tactics, low-light operations, tactical trauma care from plainclothes equipment, team tactics, and student-led instructional delivery. This program is a must for any trainers tasked with imparting firearms skills to personnel working in an undercover or non-uniform capacity.

The Active Violence Responder Instructor Development Course represents a bold step in the necessary evolution of officer response to the active shooter or attacker. Historical and recent events have shown us variance in numbers, execution, techniques and tactics of the aggressor(s). We must remain vigilant and flexible to an unknown and unknowable combination of circumstances unfolding on an accelerated timeline. Through this course, officers will be introduced to the most progressive instructor development techniques for learning and teaching active violence response concepts, case studies, critical incident management, solo & team tactical firearms training, structure clearing, overland/exposed space operations, tactical trauma care, and indomitable mindset. Students will be evaluated through both written and performance-based evaluations designed to measure knowledge, skills and abilities as an instructor. Successful graduates will be better prepared to enhance their own student’s capabilities and survivability upon completion. First responders in any organization, public or private, must be competent in these areas for managing and resolving the trend of active violence incidents.
