Training

Explosives Division offers a variety of programs, including the most comprehensive tactical explosive breaching training available anywhere. Our instructors are world-recognized innovators within the field. Additionally, North Vector offers the only 80 hour certification course approved by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Through in-depth classroom instruction and hands-on application in actual structures (rather than plywood facades), participants learn to utilize explosives in an urban environment as related to rapid entry into fortified locations. Real scenarios in both in-building and external breaching are conducted using the techniques and tactics evolved by North Vectors cadre of expert Special Ops instructors over their careers.

North Vector can provide training at qualified client locations. By receiving instruction on site, our clients acquire tactical knowledge applicable to their particular environment. For clients who lack facilities, we also offer training at several locations in the United States.

Continued involvement with multiple national and battle labs allows North Vector to continually evolve and upgrade our curriculum. Additionally, we maintain a technical blog on explosive breaching for members of the community.

Maritime Division provides government and corporate clientele with discreet, individually tailored programs designed to address current maritime challenges across the globe. Each program is staffed with personnel with extensive operational experience. North Vector’s training and assessment services range from beginning to advanced, and cover topics across the boards, from counter-piracy to maritime interdiction.

Counterterrorism Division services law enforcement, military, and corporate clientele around the world. Our instructors continue to serve in asymmetrical warfare, training, and advisory capacities in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other non-permissive environments. By maintaining an active presence, we stay abreast of the constantly evolving tactics, weaponry, and field craft skills in use by criminal and terrorist organizations.

Our counterterrorism courses range from hostage rescue to active shooter response training. We have access to numerous urban and rural facilities and can offer reality-based scenario training packages to military, civil defense, and law enforcement clients.
