Training Services


VDC's specialties involve custom firearms training, self defense, and tactical programs for Law Enforcement, Military Units, and active Operators using Reality Based Training Concepts and a very active hands-on approach. There will also be programs specifically designed to meet the needs of the public, contract security firms, and individuals seeking to increase their skill sets. VDC is dedicated to offering all of these programs and courses as high quality training programs with unique experiences and elements built into them by a great Cadre of Instructors. VDC relishes the role of supporting the Crime Fighters, the War Fighters, and the Security Professionals doing the day to day work of heroes.

Our non-classroom programs and exercises are taught using the latest Reality Based Training Concepts and philosophies. VDC is also using some of the latest most revolutionary force-on-force training platforms available today. This hands-on approach allows students to experience the dynamics of a fluid environment and to feel the pressures and stress of Reality Based Training scenarios. VDC believes strongly in a philosophy of "fighting the way you train" and that that could be the difference of surviving a critical test when presented with it in the field. The lessons learned are vivid and real; our students take them home with them as memories that we hope will serve them well in the field and in the future.

Course Dates and schedules will be posted as they are scheduled. Private or dedicated (contracted) training events are not posted unless specified by the client. Please contact us for outlines and courses you're interested in. VDC is actively seeking departments and agencies to host a variety of courses. Please keep checking back to this page for the updates.
