Combat Ready Fire Training

The class consists of recorded course videos, assignments, live class discussions, live breakout group "meetings", and participation within a student community. The recorded courses are conducted via high quality video and audio, and can be accessed from any internet capable phone, tablet, or computer. Each week, students will complete an online video-based training module, lasting 1-1.5 hours. They will also have a week to complete an assignment in time for the following Live Session. Following the completion of each week's training module (every other Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m.), students will participate in a live and interactive class discussion with the instructors and other students, based on material from that week's module. This will provide an opportunity to expand on the material, answer questions, and discuss applications to different departments or operational settings. On the weeks where there is not a full-class live session, your dedicated instructor will schedule a live zoom-type of meeting with you and a small break-out group of your peers to further discuss topics, ask questions and get to know each other and each others operations. Access to the modules and live trainings will be emailed to you.

Yes, each week builds on the material from the previous weeks. The courses have time-based assignments and discussions built into them as well.

Throughout the class, there will be assignments that students will complete outside of class in preparation for the next bi-weekly discussion. These assignments provide enhanced learning by requiring students to engage with application of the class material, and also learn from each other through moderated peer discussions.

Students will receive access to a new module weekly*, followed by a short breakout session weekly and a live full-class session occurring every other Tuesday at 7:00 PM. The "live session" schedule is as follows:

For maximum benefit, students can expect to dedicate around 2-3 hours per week to this program. This is an immersive training program that is intended for those who want to deep-dive into command practices and benefit from direct interaction with the instructors and their peers. We understand that not everyone will be able to dedicate this amount of time. For those who would still like to take the course modules on their own, there is an online Aggressive Command course available on demand for individuals or departments/groups. Or, if you need more time to schedule time for this training, we are planning to run another cohort in the Spring. Contact [email protected] to be added to the list to receive more information on those dates when it becomes available.

Students will have access to all course modules through Dec 20th. Students will have ongoing unlimited access to the recordings of the live sessions. Due to the weekly structure of this training cohort, students should attend on the scheduled live dates, and are not guaranteed to be sent the recording before the next course starts the following week. The recordings will be sent out as quickly as possible, but it will not be immediate.
