ABOUT TIER 1 TACTICAL TRAINING

Professional firearms training methodologies derived from authentic British Special Forces experience,
made accessible for civilian self-defense.

Our Mission

Tier 1 Tactical Training delivers premium, accessible firearms education through comprehensive online resources based on authentic Special Forces methodologies. We provide civilians with detailed, self-paced training plans that eliminate the high costs of in-person instruction while maintaining professional-grade standards.

Our mission is to democratize tactical firearms knowledge by offering structured, practical training frameworks that gun owners can implement independently—empowering responsible civilians with the tactical skills, decision-making processes, and safety protocols developed in high-stakes environments without the premium price tag.

Why We're Different

Unlike typical firearms instructors with limited real-world experience, our training methodologies are rooted in actual Special Forces operations. We translate these battle-tested approaches into practical applications for civilian self-defense and responsible firearms ownership.

Our focus extends beyond basic marksmanship to include tactical decision-making, situational awareness, stress management, and ethical considerations that make the difference in critical situations.
