0298 – AAR ICE Training’s Extreme Close Quarters Tactics Course Day 2 and the Skill Development Cycle

It seems like it has been months since I fought my way through the Extreme Close Quarters Tactics Course as this is the busiest time of the year in the industry and I have been hopping which of course is great news.  I wanted to get this podcast out ASAP so that I am able to give a good picture of what the course was like, and how you might be able to benefit from The ECQT Course oferend by ICE Training.  So take a listen to some background, how day 2 looked, some information about the Skill Development Cycle and who should think about taking the ECQT Course
