Description

This one‑day intensive refresher course reviews the gives you the skills and techniques covered on both our 'Civilian & Law Enforcement' and 'Military & Tactical' courses.

 

Who Is This Course For?

PREVIOUS FIREARMS STUDENTS.

Ideal for:

  • Actors, SPACT and Stunt performers looking to freshen up their skills.
  • Performers looking to advance onto our 3 day firearms course who have not done training within the last 6 months

 

What Will You Achieve?

By the end of the day, you’ll have reviewed

  • Pistol and Rifle handling: stances, grip variations, movement, weapon transitions, muzzle discipline
  • Tactical manoeuvres: advancing, covering angles, communication, and team movement
  • Close Quarters Battle (CQB): fast, controlled engagements in tight spaces
  • Room and corridor clearance: dynamic and deliberate entry methods

 

Outside Class

No homework — just bring your energy. All scenario rehearsal and feedback happen during the course.

 

What to Bring

  • Comfortable movement clothes (Feel free to wear all black or military themed clothing). We will provide tactical vests and holsters.
  • A reusable water bottle
  • Note taking materials

 

All replica  firearms and safety equipment are provided. We have a matted floor so no kneepads needed. We will also provide tactical vests.

 

Assessment

There is no formal assessment — just continuous coaching, scenario-based training, and improvement-focused feedback. You’ll take part in multiple live tactical scenarios designed to develop strong, screen-ready instincts and technique.

 

Industry Relevance

Keeping skills fresh is essential to gaining work in a demanding industry. Accurate firearm handling and movement dramatically increases an actor’s credibility in:

  • Action films
  • War dramas
  • Police / counter‑terror thrillers
  • Sci‑fi and dystopian productions
  • Video games and mocap shoots

These skills help you stand out in auditions and build trust on professional sets.

 

Next Steps

Expand your training with:

  • ID 3 Day Firearms Course
  • Repeat any of our 1 day courses as often as you require. Basics done well is the key.
  • Fallings and reactions
  • BASSC Unarmed
  • BASSC Film Fighting Foundation: Unarmed
  • Stunt pathway / SPACT preparation workshops (ID Fights Stunt Foundations)
