Day 1 technical block

Carbine Skills Alignment: technical alignment before applied PSD training

This block is integrated into Day 1 of the ESA PSD Training Programme Costa Rica 2027. It is not a standalone course and does not award a separate certification.

The block's role within the programme

Why it comes first

Its purpose is to align the group's technical level before applied PSD training, so later exercises are worked with shared safety and weapon-control criteria.

This is not an introductory block. Its purpose is to align basic safety, handling and weapon-control standards before applied PSD training.

Content of the block

Safe handling, weapon control, basic manipulations and range readiness.

The detailed breakdown of the day is provided to admitted participants before the programme starts.

Relationship with the PSD programme

The block is not a standalone shooting course: it exists to support performance in the PSD programme, where firearms use is integrated into protection procedures.

The programme awards one certification, the ESA PSD Certification. This block is not certified separately.

Safety discipline

Strict safety compliance is part of the assessment throughout the programme.
