Frequently Asked Questions

Why Degrata Tactical?

We feel that even though there are many courses available, very few of them truly focus on proven combat skills. Most of the firearms courses available focus on target shooting skills. The focus of all of our courses, is combat.

How do I host a course?

Give us a call or e-mail us. Let us know what date(s) would work best for you and what course(s) you have in mind, then we'll begin to discuss the logistics.

What do I get for hosting a course?

For hosting a course, you will get 1 free slot for every 10 attending students and 2 slots for 15 or more attending students.

If we want to host a course, what is expected of us?

We ask that you help promote the course in your area and assist us in setting up required facilities, such as a range, classroom, school, etc.

If we host a course, what does Degrata Tactical provide?

We are a fully mobile training operation. It is possible for us to arrive with training weapons, barricades, targets, and safety equipment.

How far will Degrata Tactical travel if we want to host a course?

We are capable and willing to travel to most parts of the world. Our destination, of course, may limit what we are capable of bringing with us. We will NOT train any individuals, agencies, or groups unfriendly to the United States or it's allies.

If Degrata Tactical travels to our site for training, who pays for your lodging and meals?

We do, unless other arrangements have been negotiated as part of a contract, etc.

What are the hours of instruction?

Hours of instruction depend upon the course and distance to ranges, etc. We generally try to start training sessions at, or before, 0800. The length of training days also depend upon several things, such as ranges, night fire, etc. Since we only have a limited amount of time with students, we like to spend as much time training as possible. Once we determine that students are no longer retaining as much or safety becomes more of a factor because students are tired, we quit. Most training days are between 8 and 14 hours long. Breaks are given for lunch etc., but our training is definitely not for people that go to training to relax.

What are students expected to bring with them to class?

Students will be expected to bring all gear required for the course they have signed up for. Since our training environment is very fluid, we need to be able to move from one training environment to another within a few minutes. We do not like a lot of "down" time for students and need them to be ready for any part of the course at any time.

How do I know what is required for a course?

Eventually, time allowing, course requirements will be posted along with course descriptions. Until that time, we will make them available upon request. We know that part of determining a course, is the cost factor of ammunition, simunition, etc.

If I don't have the required gear, can Degrata Tactical provide it?

Most likely, but it depends upon the course and number of participants. Please make arrangements for ammunition, etc. well ahead of time. Ammunition and simmunition costs will still be the responsibility of the student.

Can our department use our own Airsoft or Simunition Gear?

Yes, as long it passes our safety inspection, but the responsibility of the equipment remains with your department.

How do I register for a course?

You may register for a course by calling us at 877-433-4728 or by e-mail.

Is a deposit necessary to hold my slot?

Yes, unless other arrangements are made, 50% of the course fee is necessary to hold your slot in a course. You can cancel your registration for a course for a full refund up until 30 prior to the course start date, at which time you will lose your deposit. Full registration fees must be received at least 30 days prior to the course start date.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Degrata Tactical is capable of accepting Mastercard, Visa and Discover Cards, as well as agency checks.

Can I wait and buy my ammunition or other gear when I get to the Degrata Tactical site?

We can arrange to have ammunition available for you, but please contact us ahead of time to specify your requirements.

When training at the Degrata Tactical site, will Degrata Tactical make arrangements for lodging?
