**To enroll in this class, students must be a graduate of the OTG Firearms Instructor or Pistol Mounted Optics Instructor course**

This class is pending POST certification, is being hosted by the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office and is being conducted at The Outpost Armory in Murfreesboro, TN.

The OTG Advanced Firearms Instructor Course is a comprehensive, 30-hour POST-certified instructor development program designed for experienced firearms instructors seeking to elevate the effectiveness and structure of their training programs. This course moves beyond basic marksmanship instruction and focuses on refining how instructors teach, coach, and develop performance in others.

Built around a process-driven framework and principles-based methodology, this course explores performance-based shooting and why it should be a critical component of any law enforcement firearms program. Modern duty environments demand a level of performance that goes beyond traditional qualification standards, and training must evolve to meet that need.

Instructors will learn the skills required for high-level performance and how to build those skills into their training programs through structured, adaptive instruction. The focus is on understanding why performance happens the way it does and how to develop consistent, on-demand capability.

The ultimate goal is to develop more capable, self-aware shooters who can perform under pressure, not just pass a qualification.

This is a shooting-intensive course.  Students are required to have confidence in their shooting ability.
