Well, see? You want to do it and you're finding a way to make it happen. What I said applies to you!
I have learned quite a few things from you, young man. I anticipate that pattern will not cease any time soon.
Are you a law enforcement professional? If not, why are you fixated on LEOs as the source for training? I ask because it's been present in most if not all of the messages you post here and it makes me curious. For the record, I have no commercial interest in you or your training, so please do not think I have some personal agenda here.
For what it's worth (and this may be an unpopular set of statements), there are quite a few LEOs who are fantastic trainers, but in general this area of study is driven primarily by civilian private citizens, not LEO or military. Much of the body of techniques trickles into the LEO/military world, not from it. There are exceptions, particularly in tactics that are primarily or exclusively the realm of cops and soldiers, but in terms of gun handling, shooting, etc. civilian private citizens are doing the heavy lifting in the research and development department.
i am not LEO. I may not have articulated well enough here I do not think LEO is best training no matter what. I do believe they have more opportunities to have training vetted than most other training programs. I do know that other fields as referenced in hunters teaching tracking etc to the military is valuable but again that is only one component to the overall training platform and I agree that one should look at all levels and see things with an open mind and not get clouded by having to have it all fit into a nice package.
I also know that not everyone is a good teacher and as such it is important to be taught how to teach. You do not have to be the best at what you are teaching as long as you are teaching good fundamentals and you are able to teach as not everyone can.
My point about certification is it lends itself to credibility. The reason I bring up the LEO training so much is that most of their instructors will have been certified someway somehow. I would like to see more opportunities for certification of non LEO trainers as well. An expansion beyond just the NRA certs.
For me a certification is just one component I would look for not the one and only component.
Again in this is all just my opinion and I know that a lot of people think differently.
