Course Description: 

​

Recognizing that low-light training is one of the most difficult areas to maintain proficiency and often one of the most neglected aspects of training in general, we have developed the Low Light Employment Instructor course to aid current and future instructors in development of course curriculum.  The LLEI course has been tailored to deliver students a fast-paced and informative experience that will allow them to adapt the course content to their existing training plans, modernize outdated models, or create new courses for LE/MIL and citizen students. 

 

Proper Instruction in the employment of white light as a deterrent, and for positive threat identification are the most important aspects of low light and the entire LLEI class it built around those goals.   Students will be required to meet basic course graduation requirements.
