Welcome to the CounterTerrorism Institute of America

Our new training schedule has just been posted. The 2010 schedule will be one of our most aggressive training schedules yet. We have more classes, more often and in more locations. In addition we have a couple of amazing new training venues. We will be bringing courses to the outstanding Urban Warfare Center in N. Salt Lake City,UT (www.urbanwarfarecenter.com) . Also, for the first time we have been permitted to bring our courses to the famed Swanson Tactical Training Center (www.swansontactical.org) in N. Ogden. This is an amazing level of training which is available to very few private citizens.

We will be incorporating new force on force training into several courses. Several new courses are coming as well, including:

Armed Intruder Intervention
Precision Tactical Rifle
Tactical Concealed Carry

We invite you to check out the schedule and the new courses. Most courses are limited to only 12 students to insure quality of training. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

The mission of the Counterterrorism Institute of America is to train and prepare the American public, private security forces, and law enforcement to protect themselves from acts of terrorism and violent crime.

Our instructors hold many decades of experience between them. They are highly motivated experts with backgrounds in military special operations, dignitary protection and law enforcement. We are dedicated to providing the American public with the highest level of training available outside of the government agencies and the military.
