Title: Blackwater offers Online Home Defense Course
Post by: Kilroy on January 30, 2009, 08:26:43 AM

Currently running a "SHOT Show special" of $35 for each person, it is advertised as a 45 minute training.  I've not seen it, but do know that The Backup Corporation makes an effort to offer a quality product.

BackUp does offer quality products and they are working with BWTC..... of course, not 45 minute course is going to be comprehensive, let alone an online one.

Once someone takes the course, please post a review!

I've ordered it, but can't seem to find where on the website you actually view the webinar.

Once I get it all figured out and take the course, I'll post back.

I'd be quite interested in hearing your remarks about this course.

Much can be learned via online or computer enabled training, but some subjects clearly require hands on and actual contact time with an instructor.

I've sampled other online or computer enabled courses, mostly in the public safety venue.  I recently consulted with a online training vendor who considered using the DVD series from a popular school as the basis for a series of firearms related training, but after a comprehensive review, has decided against it.
