That is great that Sig Sauer Academy is putting on this kind of training, and I had no idea they entered into this market. I would be curious if any of the readers have gone through this course, or if they have recommendations for other schools out there? I will try to post other schools in the future, and for the record, I do not work for Sig Sauer Academy and this is not an endorsement. All I am doing is just putting this stuff out there for guys and gals that are interested in seeking training for work in the maritime security industry. –Matt

I’ve been through quite a lot of courses at the Sig Sauer Academy, particularly their EP training : EP tactics & their EP Operations courses.
Very well done. Top notch instructors. The EP tactics lats 3 days, and the Operations part is a full week of training. This is not a gung ho, shooting course. You actually get to learn a lot through these classes.
