Less-Lethal Instructor Certification Programs (ICP)   |   back to top
Basic Instructor Certification: The basic Instructor Certification Course is valid for 24 calendar months from testing date, which allows the student to provide in-service user training in their department. The student will acquire a general working knowledge of Defense Technology, and Guardian products, both technically and tactically, providing them with the skills necessary to conduct in-service training.

Prerequisites: All students must be a sworn law enforcement or correctional officer, federal agent, a state licensed security officer, or active military personnel. These courses are not available to civilian or private personnel. Each attendee must be physically fit for duty and able to perform the physical skills associated with tactical applications with the use of these products.

Fit for Duty: Each of the four modules of instruction in the ICP Program involves physical exercises. Students are required to actively participate in these exercises as part of their certification. Students should be physically prepared for these classes in order to ensure successful completion of the courses. Some of these courses involve exposure to chemical agents as well as the physical exercises. Students with physical conditions that may impair their ability to participate are responsible for contacting their physician for medical clearance prior to enrollment. Conditions requiring such consultation include but are not limited to high blood pressure, heart problems, lung problems, to include bronchitis and asthma, or allergies. BAE Systems Inc., will not assume responsibility for any students who do not seek medical consultation prior to course participation. Any student who is unable to participate in the exercises cannot be certified as an instructor. It is incumbent upon the student to ensure they are physically capable of meeting the requirements of the courses.

Notice to students: All Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) Aerosol Projectors students are exposed to OC as a requirement for their instructor certification. Students who have undergone any type of eye surgery in the past 12 months must notify the Training Academy of BAE Systems prior to enrollment in an OC certification course. Typically, patients who have undergone eye surgery require approximately six months for complete recovery. In order to provide the greatest safety margin, BAE Systems Inc. has therefore concluded that any student who has undergone eye surgery is STRONGLY advised to delay participation in this class for a full calendar year from the date of surgery.

Re-certification: Within 30 days of the certification's expiration date, the student may attend an appropriate re-certification program.
