Training Assessment for Security Organizations
Effective firearms training begins with an accurate understanding of current ability. Stonebridge Defense training assessments evaluate defensive handgun skills, weapon handling practices, and qualification readiness among armed security personnel to identify strengths, deficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
This assessment-first approach allows training to be structured around demonstrated capability rather than generalized instruction.
Assessment results establish measurable benchmarks that guide training development. The evaluation framework governing these assessments is outlined in the Training Standards section, and development programs designed to address assessment finding are presented in the Training Programs section of this site.
