About course
This course goes far beyond simple marksmanship. Participants will train in live-fire scenarios that focus on accuracy, suppression, and effective fire support under combat stress. You will gain the skills to operate as part of a team, delivering sustained firepower in both defensive and offensive operations. The curriculum is carefully structured to strengthen your combat mindset, enhance your technical proficiency, and build confidence in handling high-caliber weapon systems under extreme conditions.
Instruction is led by former Special Forces operators with extensive combat experience in global conflict zones. Training is delivered with military precision, ensuring participants receive not only technical expertise but also the discipline, awareness, and adaptability required in real-world operations.
The Tactical Machine Gun Course is ideal for military personnel, law enforcement, private security contractors, and serious professionals seeking to elevate their capabilities to an elite level. Upon successful completion, graduates receive an internationally recognized certificate, a credential that reflects both technical mastery and combat readiness.
Who is this course for?
Military and security professionals, contractors and experienced shooters who want hands-on time with a belt-fed light machine gun. Training moves from safe handling and zeroing to team fire support, vehicle-mounted firing and a full final mission.
Training is delivered in small groups by our instructors (former Special Forces operator and French Foreign Legion), and most of the time is spent on the range and in realistic scenarios rather than in the classroom. Graduates receive the EBSSA International certificate. EBSSA International, founded in 2014, is a UN- and NATO-accredited training provider that has trained civilians, security professionals, military and police from around the world.
