Professional Development Seminar

Course Description:

The Professional Development (099) or ProDev is a semi-private day long seminar. Participants will get first hand knowledge on the methodology Jeff uses to train; which includes essential skills identification, minimum performance standards, degree of difficulty and degree of atrophy. It starts by laying out the practice plan, goals and drills to be used. The session centers around his monthly live fire training so each seminar is unique and will be different. Each of the drills are briefed, demonstrated and shot individually for score. The standards are further defined for the various skill levels and how to properly document performance to evaluate progress.
