Training Schedule is as follows:
Week 1: May 20-24, 2024 (5 Days, Monday-Friday)
Week 2: May 27-29, 2024 (3 Days, Monday-Wednesday)
Total Training Time: 51 hours (30 hours week one + 21 hours week two)
Dual Certification Benefits: Most GST students attend GST Level 1 at one location and then attend a GST Level 2 course at a completely different location several months later requiring a total of 10 training days due to the fact that there are different student populations in the room for each course. With the Dual Certification Course format, we conduct the courses back-to-back so that students will learn all the techniques for both levels and all the essential teaching methodologies in 8 days of training instead of 10, since we don’t have to repeat the two days spent on Gracie Teaching Methodologies during the second week.
- Level 1 + Level 2 Certification in 8 Days: Without any prior experience you can get certified in GST Level 1 and GST Level 2 in the shortest time possible.
- Less Travel Time: Since the entire course is covered in 8 training days, you will spend less time away from your regular work duties than if you completed both certifications separately.
- Reduced Travel Expenses: Since both levels are completed back-to-back at the same location, you’ll save money on travel expenses when compared to completing both courses at separate locations.
- Reduced Tuition Expenses: The retail price for Level 1 and Level 2 certification if completed independently is approximately $3,000 ($1,500 per course). The cost for Dual Certification using this format is $2,500.
You MUST be of active (reserve/guard okay) Military, Law Enforcement, or First Responder status to participate. Active status will be verified prior to the course.
Free Online GST Access: To assist you with the integration of the GST program at your agency, and to ensure that you always have access to the most up-to-date GST techniques, you will be granted full access to the GST Online Video Course upon successful completion of the instructor certification program. Your online access will remain active for the duration of your certification period.
International Participants: All non-US based LE and MIL personnel must be pre-approved before registering. To begin the approval process, please contact GST@GracieUniversity.com.
