RANK AND CERTIFICATION
Many law enforcement and military personnel have spent years training in defensive tactics and/or military combatives without any type of ranking or recognition. I.I.M.A.A. offers ranking and instructor certifications in both areas. I.I.M.A.A. has instructors with law enforcement and military backgrounds to easily translate your experience and instruction into certification.
Certification can be handled in one of two ways. The first method is to submit your back ground information to I.I.M.A.A. This would include a resume and copies of all training certificates. The second method is to attend a training course and be certified in person by an I.I.M.A.A. instructor.
Ranking will be based on years of experience, courses attended and any teaching time you may have. Ranking will be based on I.I.M.A.A.'s rank structure.
You may choose to get rank, certification or both. If you meet the guidelines set up by the I.I.M.A.A. you will have National and International support and recognition.
If you choose certification, you will also be eligible to instruct for Defensive Tactics International. Click the following link for additional law enforcement and military training: www.besttactical.com
