These are dangerous times. Traditional values such as faith, honor, and integrity are mocked by popular culture. Respect for others is being replaced by hatred. Kindness has given way to animosity.

The purpose of this Soft Skills and Tactics (SST) course is to help individuals thrive in non-permissive environments, challenging international locations, and during times of conflict or extreme unrest. The focus is on individuals or small teams living or operating with low-visibility and without conventional supply lines or rescue options.

The SST course was developed by two security professionals with more than fifty years of combined experience. They’ve served in low-visibility roles in some of the world’s most challenging locations. This online training is based on an on-site course that prepares individuals for service in extreme locations. Many of the participants find that the Course not only prepares them for their upcoming roles, but offers a mindset that changes their everyday lives as well
