Law Enforcement & Security Training Australia Pty Ltd ACN 124 847 409 RTO: 31555 NSW Master Lic: 409680208 Training has been designed exclusively for security, law enforcement, and corrections industry instructors, to enable them to meet the needs of the changing training industry.

Description:

Human Factor Science (PPCT), Peter Rowe, Adam Wright and Law Enforcement & Security Training Australia P/L (LESTA) staff instructors will be conducting a Defensive Tactics Instructor program at 2a Maude Street, Belmont and our Firearms Instructor program at 2a Maude Street, Belmont (range component at the Maitland District Pistol Club, Beryl Humble Sporting Complex, Metford Rd, Tenambit), in February 2021.

The program is comprised of the following components:
• Defensive Tactics Instructor/Recertification
• Firearms Instructor
• Firearms Instructor Recertification
• Dynamic Simulation Instructor
• Spontaneous Knife Defence Instructor (if time permits)


The Firearms Instructor program places heavy emphasis on the firearms competency standards from the national training package as required for NSW licensing. The manual covers the new firearms laws, course design, conducting simulations and scenario’s, course assessment, pistols & revolvers and teaching techniques.

The Defensive Tactics Instructor program covers all the defensive tactics units for NSW security licensing and will qualify participants in those techniques for teaching purposes.
We are introducing to the course the latest from the PPCT/Human Factor Science USA Threat Pattern Recognition techniques offering aspects of firearms training that will be 5-10 years ahead of the mainstream training in Australia, including within the law enforcement community.

Topics:

For ease of reference the course has been broken up into four stages. All new entrants must complete Stage 1 & 2 to obtain the Firearms Instructor certification.

Current firearms instructors who hold a Certificate IV in Training & Assessment can take Stage 2 as an individual module in order to re-qualify or update their skills/certification. Evidence of current accreditation will be required prior to enrolments being accepted (certified copy of evidence)
