SURVIVAL INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATIONS

Welcome to SIGMA 3 Survival School, the Institute for Self Reliance! The most comprehensive multi-environment school on the planet! There isn’t a school on the planet that offers a program of this type anywhere and it our goal to set the bar for survival instructors worldwide! The SIGMA 3 Survival Instructor Course is our most difficult training program and we will teach you everything you need to know about surviving in any environment on the planet. Students that attend this program will be tested throughout each program to a series of standards that involve a wide range of tests to prove they are capable of surviving in a wide range of environments. We use to run a 6 month apprentice program where all the training was focused at our headquarters and we found that with only one environment to train in that it limited the students exposure to a wide range of skills.

We have since eliminated the apprentice program and replaced it with a multi-environment training system to include all the major worldwide ecosystems. The course will now include a medical component that is mandatory to graduate to higher levels. This is to insure that each instructor is capable of dealing with all types of injuries in the field for the safety of their students. The Level 1 instructor course is the most important program to take to be successful in this program and in order to be a certified SIGMA 3 instructor you must take the level 1 course before being able to teach for us. However you don’t have to take the Lvl 1 course in order to attend our other instructor courses. It is highly recommended that you have a minimum of some basic survival skills for these other courses, otherwise you may not gain much from starting with more advanced courses. You don’t need any prior experience to attend our level 1 program, we will teach you everything you need to know and over the years of taking the entire series of courses, you will gain all the experience and knowledge you need!

SIGMA 3 strives to produce the best survival instructors in the world and we will accept nothing less than 120% effort during each program. There are no standards for survival instructors in our industry, so we are moving to set the bar for everyone else to keep up with. We are the school that teaches the teachers, and we are separating the men from the boys.

You must prove yourself capable of leading groups in these difficult skills and show that you can work with people even in the worst conditions. The way the program is designed you will not be able to complete it quickly and will have to get lots of dirt time in between each course. By having that time in between each major component of the course, we will insure that each instructor practices these skills to prepare for the next level! This will enable you to get lots of experience in using these skills on your own and only the people with great amounts of drive will successfully complete the program. You have to want it BAD! NO QUITTING!

We are the only Multi Environment Survival Instructor program on the planet. No one else has this breadth of training anywhere in the world. We have accomplished this by recruiting only the best instructors from across multiple disciplines and bringing them under the SIGMA 3 Flag. We are a highly organized unit of instructors worldwide that are working together to create THE STANDARD for survival training. Customers will have no worries of training under a self proclaimed experted with no verifiable experience to speak about. Our students will know that if they train under a SIGMA 3 Survival Instructor, that he has been tested to the max in all types of environments and they can be sure the quality of instruction they are getting is only the best! By striving for that standard of training, SIGMA 3 is quickly becoming the biggest name in the survival industry.
