5th Annual Course Nearly Full — Register Now
With bookings only open since late January, we have had a strong response to our 5th annual self-protection trainer course.
The most quickly-assimilated and easily-retained self-protection tactics course in the sector today.
The course teaches the Functional Edge System (FES), combined with industry-leading Trainer resources on the law and risk management from the National Federation for Personal Safety.
Advanced Control Tactics for Experienced Trainers
This year we will also be welcoming back our cadre of experienced FES trainers, who will be adding to their core skills with an advanced certification in Control Tactics for High-Risk Contexts.
Designed to work from the instinctive protection principles of the core material, this advanced module helps contact professionals — retail and leisure door supervisors, hospital security officers, psychiatric nurses, law-enforcement officers, and response teams — deal with very violent adult subjects presenting extreme violence.
Learn from Functional Edge Founder Coach Tony Torres
The tactics on these courses will be taught by Functional Edge founder Coach Tony Torres, who has a thorough background in both operational use of force and — importantly — the programming, design, and delivery of effective use-of-force training programmes.
Learn more about Coach Torres and his approach to violence, self-protection, and training through a series of transcribed interviews. You can also watch a clip of Coach Torres teaching a block at the 2014 trainer certification course.
