This close quarters battle (CQB) course develops a systematic, progressive skillset for operating inside buildings and confined spaces against an armed, willing adversary. Training begins with a diagnostic assessment to establish baseline skills, then focuses 1–4-man actions on entry and room domination. Instruction advances through door and hallway manipulation, clearing single and multiple rooms, managing danger areas, and integrating priorities of work. All blocks are built sequentially so students master fundamentals before tackling complex problems. The course culminates in scenarios to test decision-making, target discrimination, marksmanship under stress, and mission-tailored tactics. 

Learning Objectives
• Establish baseline skills and individual training plan via diagnostic assessment.
• Execute safe, repeatable actions on entry and immediate room dominance.
• Apply 1–4-man duties and responsibilities for coordinated movement and clearing.
• Identify and navigate danger areas (corners, concealment, intersections).
• Manipulate doors, thresholds, and obstacles to maintain advantage.
• Move effectively through multiple rooms and transition between spaces.
• Demonstrate surgical marksmanship and rapid target discrimination under stress.

If your department struggles to effectively train members in forcible entry, this 4-hour, hands-on course develops both skill and confidence when it matters most. Designed for all experience levels within police and fire departments. This class puts tools directly in students' hands, combining basic and advanced forcible entry techniques with extensive, real-world practice.

Participants will work on both inward- and outward-swinging doors with varying degrees of difficulty, ensuring a challenging and progressive learning experience. The course also covers critical “Plan B” methods for outward-swinging doors, including pulling hinges, defeating carriage bolts, and overcoming drop bars. Students will gain hands-on experience defeating various padlocks and learn how to size up and address modern security features found on today’s doors.

To further enhance skill development, additional challenge stations simulate restricted spaces and limited visibility, pushing students to perform under realistic conditions. With a strong emphasis on repetition, this course ensures each participant builds competence and confidence they can bring back to their department. Led by experienced FDNY instructors, this class is essential for all responders looking to improve performance and be fully prepared to force the door when the call comes in.
