What is the overall goal of the Post Weapon and Tactics Instructor (PWTI) course?

The overall goal of the Post Weapon and Tactics Instructor (PWTI) course is to produce proficient instructors. This focus on developing instructors ensures that they are equipped with not only the technical skills and tactical knowledge necessary for effective teaching but also the pedagogical methods required to convey that information to others. By effectively training instructors, the course aims to enhance the overall competence of personnel involved in weapons and tactics training, fostering a knowledgeable community capable of propagating best practices and enhancing operational effectiveness.

While enhancing individual skills, promoting team building, and assessing operational readiness are essential components of military training, they are secondary to the primary purpose of cultivating skilled and knowledgeable instructors who can deliver critical training and instruction to others, thus ensuring that the cycle of skill development continues effectively within the organization.
