Trusted by clients in various locations

Trusted by clients all over the world

Our client training reaches various countries.

Training has been ongoing since the mid-90’s and we have trained more that 2500 team members in classes of varying sizes. Depending on the skill level of the team members we recommend our initial classes (s) include classroom as well as firearms training, rather than focusing solely on firearms. This is of course is dependent on previous training and team members skill level.  

I’ve worked with multiple companies in most of the Western Hemisphere and some Middle Eastern countries who came to Texas for training. (since the 9/11 attacks in New York most foreign clients training will have to be consistent with ITAR Federal regulations).

Frequently Asked Questions
Costs vary depending on the number of team members to be trained, the number of days, and the type of training requested. Once you decide to schedule training we can discuss the factors listed and I’ll send you an estimate of the costs. If you train at our facilities I provide all related equipment including firearms, ammunition, range safety gear, and range fees. 
If you are based outside the United States I can also arrange lodging, meals and local transportation. Most foreign corporations prefer this method. All the teams have to do is provide transportation to and from Central Texas and we cover the rest.
I am a licensed instructor and Piatt Tactical Training is a licensed Texas school so I will likely be able to provide CEU certificates. The CEU requirements vary by state and if you can provide those requirements I will prepare the required classes and certificates. 
 

Once the details are resolved I will send an invoice for the entire amount. If you are coming to our training sites I will need 50% upon receipt of the invoice. This covers the non-refundable costs such as ammunition, range supplies, range fees and associated supplies and equipment. The balance is due upon arrival of the (first) team. If we are coming to your site 50% is due upon receipt of the invoice and the balance due upon our arrival.  

how it works

The Process

The process will be slightly different for each client depending on location, size of team, and time frame.

Initial Evaluation

We will discuss the size of your team(s), the threat level executives face, the amount of travel involved, how much prior training the members have, and the background of the security teams.

My recommendations

Based on those responses I can offer my input and we will develope a training plan specfic to your needs.

Training Scheduled

We will set the times and dates to meet with your team for the recommended training.

Annual Training

Annual training on use of force at all levels is recommended in the event the team becomes involved in a major incident that results in legal action.
