                                                                                        THE PATRIOT ACADEMY

An exclusive, customized and comprehensive defensive-tactics training curriculum developed by Brian Sargent, former Master Chief, United States Navy SEALs West Coast and East Coast, Founder & CEO, SCG Group Worldwide, with Jim Houck, SCG Group/South.
 
Purpose of Patriot Academy
The purpose of this training is to take students who accept the importance and necessity of taking personal responsibility for their safety and survival, and the safety and survival of their families, to a level of real-world expertise that enables the student to master and execute combat-proven defensive Techniques, Tactics and Procedures (TTPs), on zero notice, and prevail.
 
By Invitation Only
Patriot Academy is by invitation only. This is due to two factors. First, demand versus availability. There is simply too much demand for this product for us to service every potential student. Second, we are highly selective about who we offer this training to. There are plenty of people with a level of wealth high enough to afford this elite training, who only want to do a “walk through” and then brag to their friends that they are “Navy SEAL trained”. We have no time for such nonsense. We have seen the worst man has to offer. We take the training and welfare of our students very seriously. Our mission is to make the world safer and stronger by empowering good people to thwart evil doers. We select only students who display the core mental ingredients required to get the most out of their experience with us, and who genuinely believe in the purpose of Patriot Academy.
 
Every student who completes the Patriot Academy becomes eligible for further invitation-only training.
 
Due to the profiles of many of our clients, identities of all Patriot Academy students are kept confidential.
 
Tone
The Patriot Academy is elite and highly professional. You will work with America’s top covert warriors. This is not a “pushup punishment” type of course. It is for intelligent, focused students who believe in what they are looking to master. Our instructors are quiet professionals who make certain students get what they paid their hard-earned money to receive.

Class-Size Capping
Maximum class size is 10 students, with an optional “11th man” (when applicable, TBD). We keep Patriot Academy classes very small in order to guarantee an unusually high instructor-to-student ratio. Patriot Academy is instructor dense for a reason—it generates superior results in our students. We are extremely hands-on and very detail oriented.
 
It is not uncommon for clients to request to have present only members of their organization or family. We understand the need for discretion and are happy to accommodate. The tuition and minimum hard costs of the course will be spread evenly across the number of total students from one to 10.
 
Outcome
You will develop an elite state of self-reliance and confidence, firearms proficiency, and an exceptional security-knowledge base. We will prepare you to deal with myriad threats in the real world. You will learn combat-proven TTPs to overcome and prevail.
 
Course Length
The Patriot Academy consists of 18 total days of training. Note: days do not need to be consecutive and usually are not, per the considerable schedules of a typical Patriot Academy client.
 
 
 
 
Scheduling
Patriot Academy is always completed in a 6-month window. The 18 total days of training can be scheduled to fit the timing of the members of the group, as long as the 18 total days are scheduled within said six-month period. The reason for the 6-month window is to ensure new skills are fresh when the next level is taught to best serve the student.
 
Proficiency checks are used to determine when students are ready to progress to each new phase. Phases may still be attended for experience, even if minimum proficiency has not (yet) been met. We will work with you, and we will help you achieve your maximum potential using proven Special Operations training techniques.
 
Location
Our facilities are in Wallingford, Connecticut, USA. The actual address of our training facility is provided upon completion of a contract.
 
Clients flying private usually land at Meriden Markham Municipal Airport, http://meridenmarkham.com/ , which is a ten-minute drive from our training facility.
 
The closest commercial airport is Bradley International Airport, http://www.bradleyairport.com/. Drive time to our facility from this airport is 30 minutes. 
 
A good number of our clients ask us to come to them. That is not a problem. Naturally travel costs and local range-rental fees will be additional.
 
Security From and To the Airport
Clients often request that we provide armed Executive Protection security from and back to the airport. This is not a problem and we are happy to do so for an additional fee.
 
Clients often request that we provide armed Executive Protection transportation to and from their hotel/lodging. We are happy to provide for an additional fee.
 
Clients often request that we provide armed Executive Protection for them while they are at their place of lodging. We are happy to provide for an additional fee.
 
Gear
Every student trains on brand new gear. Every piece of gear is preselected by Brian Sargent himself and has passed his considerable requirements. Each student will become highly proficient on their gear. Each student will own his/her new gear—it is part of your tuition—and will leave with it. The purpose behind our “own your gear” approach is to guarantee that our Patriot Academy clients/students learn on outstanding equipment, become proficient using outstanding equipment, and depart with outstanding equipment, zeroed in and ready to use immediately. You will “own” your gear in every sense.
 
Pricing
With ten students, the total cost per student for all gear (that you get to keep), consumables and ammunition, facilities, etc., all in, is $21,000 per student. Your travel and lodging during the course is your responsibility, though we are happy to recommend hotels.
 
As some of our costs, such as range rental and instructor salaries are fixed, we can and do accommodate classes smaller than 10, but doing so will accordingly cause a moderate increase in per-student tuition.
 
Cancelations
We never want a student to have to cancel. But we understand real life, real well. So we require 10% of tuition upfront and this is non-refundable if you cancel, but we will apply this 10% if you ever renew your contract later and train with us. We require equipment purchases to be upfront, but if you need to cancel, the gear is still yours to keep (you pay shipping costs), and if you ever train with us in the future, we will still happily train you on your new gear. Mid-Class postponements sometimes happen and there is no penalty for a mid-class postponement. We will pick it back up when you are ready.
 
Our clients often have very dynamic businesses and schedules. We pledge to work with you to the best of our ability in every situation. We have one mission: Train you to the best of our considerable ability. 
 
Course Cost Breakdown Examples
Facility $18,000
 
Cadre Travel $18,000
 
Course Instruction $54,000 
 
Course Ammunition and Consumables $42,000
 
Ammunition
Each student will fire 24,000 rounds of 5.56 (carbine), 13,000 rounds of 45ACP caliber (pistol), and use 5,000 consumables. Yes, that’s a lot of shooting. It’s also why our students become so proficient so fast. Perfect practice makes perfect. This is an immersion course.
 
Tuition breakdown
As noted, roughly half of your “tuition" is used to purchase your new equipment that you will use in the training, and own and keep after training is complete. This offers the student an exceptional value per tuition dollar spent and represents, at average retail prices, around $9,000 in value.
