SWIC/LWIC

Group ACT Instructor Courses

Short Weapons Instructor Course & Long Weapons Instructor Course

SWIC/LWIC instructor certification is divided into three levels. Instructor’s courses take 16 – 20 hours of training per level. Each level takes place over a single three-day weekend.

In order to take the next level of the course, SWIC participants are required to engage in practice and training of the course material and will be required to pass an exam (free of charge) before being admitted to the next level. Such training can take place at instructor training sessions held at ACT seminars worldwide and training sessions held by advanced instructors.

Cost: 500€

(per 1 level, per 1 person)
