VTAC Singleton CQB

Overview

The Singleton CQB course is intended to build the students understanding of angles of attack and angles of search as well as build confidence for those who will be operating alone or with a family member.

This course will give you the tools in your toolbox to understand how and when to use varying techniques while operating alone. During this course you will also work as a two man team to aid in understanding areas of responsibility when entering a structure. This course will be dynamic, thought provoking, and will definitely expose any glaring shortcomings in your training repertoire.
