COURSES
1. Advanced Reconnaissance
The FSC Africa Advanced Reconnaissance Program is designed for tactical professionals who wish to gain an advanced understanding of reconnaissance and information gathering while in hostile and non-permissive environments.
Advanced reconnaissance refers to the use of specialised techniques, equipment, and personnel to gather in-depth and detailed information about suspects, terrain, and operational environment. It goes beyond basic reconnaissance by employing advanced technology, intelligence analysis, and specialised training to provide a comprehensive understanding of the area of operation. Key skills such as ropework, tactical navigation, technology integration, mindset and fitness as well as modern day technological aids ensure that the Advanced Reconnaissance personnel have an in-depth understanding and real-world ability to effectively execute reconnaissance taskings in non-permissive environments.
This course is tailored towards individuals who intend to increase their effectiveness in the anti-poaching, mining sector and rural safety roles.
Course Cost: R20 000.00 (ZAR)
Course Dates:
- 06 – 19 Oct 24
2. Close Quarter Battle (2025)
Urban areas provide the most high-risk environment in the 21st century. Proficiency in this skillset not only requires extreme discipline, high levels of fitness and mental preparation, but also the highest level of training and instruction. Our training team has years of operational experience and first-world training in Close Quarter Battle. This real-world experience, gained from live operations, allows for true knowledge transfer.
In 2025 we have changed the system. Formerly having Basic Close Quarter Battle (CQB) and Advanced Close Quarter Battle course options, we have now fused the courses to form one 8-day program, taking students from a basic level all the way to Advanced CQB.
The FSC Africa CQB course is designed for current and former Military, Police, Law Enforcement, Security and trained civilian personnel with limited knowledge of Close Quarter Battle, who wish to upskill their abilities in order to be safer and more effective in this environment. It will begin at the basics and bring the learner to a proficient level of basic CQB, up to a 4-man team with a basic understanding of structures, doorways, entry and clearing techniques.
Please note that from 2025 the Basic and Advanced Close Quarter Battle courses will be combined and offered as a single course.
2025 Course Dates
- 18 April – 27 April
- 15 Aug – 24 Aug
3. Advanced Anti-Poaching Operations Course (2025)
The Advanced Anti-Poaching Operations Course is designed for tactical professionals who wish to gain extensive knowledge and experience in the African Rural environment. Anti-poaching is a vital part of Rural Operations, but learning only those skills can leave you under-skilled in other high-risk rural type taskings such as mine security, border security, remote taskings and other work you may encounter as a professional.
African Battlecraft encompasses skills such as survival, tracking, bushcraft, remote medical, tactical navigation, camouflage, basic reconnaissance, and clandestine operations to close quarter bush tactics and small team tactics. Introducing 21st century technologies and tactics will make this course the first of its kind, combining age old, tried and tested, bush tactics in conjunction with modern day techniques and technological aids such as dual-tube night vision devices, infra-red laser light modules, flashlights, thermal imaging, drones and digital mapping.
The anti-poaching will introduce the student to anti-poaching and conservation law enforcement operations on the African continent. Students will conduct training among Africa’s big 5 (Lion, leopard, Rhino, Elephant, and Buffalo), learning how to conduct clandestine anti-poaching operations, understand animal behaviour, fauna and flora, poaching methods, arrest procedures, counter ambush and waylay techniques, vehicle mounted patrols, informant handling and processing and other vital skills important to the Anti-poaching field. This segment will be based purely out in the African bushveld and will be conducted as if on live operations.
Course Cost: R50 000.00 (ZAR)
