OSG Firearms Fundamentals Completion Certificate

This course is designed to teach the fundamentals of firearms safety and weapons handling to individuals with little or no firearms experience. This course aligns with the Operation Blazing Sword curriculum outline, and emphasizes a safe and non-judgmental environment.
This course will cover:
Types of firearms and how they work
How to recognize a loaded firearm from an unloaded one.
How to load a firearm. (Yours, if you have one and want training with it; one of ours if you don't.)
Proper stance, breathing, and aiming technique. (BRASS-F)
How to hit a target effectively.
How to unload a firearm and render it safe.
General principles of assembly and disassembly.
There are 3 parts ("Phases") to this course. They must be completed in sequence in order to be allowed to attend the next stage. This is to ensure a safe and effective learning experience and has been proven out by past performance.
Students that follow our curriculum have a higher likelihood of performing well in live-fire environments.
1. Prior to Class - Approximately 3-5 Hours - Interactive online module. Free and available 24/7 at your own pace here:
https://academy.osgatl.com/course/firearms-fundamentals
Through written/narrated lessons and video, we'll get you introduced to all of the above concepts at your own pace and in your own comfortable environment.
2. Day 1: Approximately 4 Hours - Hands-On Dry Practice and reinforcement. In a small group setting, we'll go through the same concepts that you covered in the online module, but this time with hands on practice. You will handle unloaded firearms and practice all of the above concepts. At the end of this module, you'll be able to demonstrate safe handling of pistols, rifles, and shotguns. If you do not wish to attend a live-fire range session, you can stop here. At the end of this module, we'll cover the details for the Live Fire Range Session.
3. Day 2 - Approximately 4 Hours plus travel time - Live Fire Range Session (Optional). We'll meet at a shooting range, and you'll be provided the opportunity to apply your skills in a live fire environment. You will fire at least 10 rounds of ammunition at paper, steel, or electronic targets and receive feedback from your instructors. This is not a qualification course, and your performance is not graded.

OSG Community Responder (2026 Course Update)

Community Responder is our signature "software upgrades" course for everyone who wants to be prepared to respond to emergencies in the spaces they live in.

Design real world, actionable plans for training, kit builds, and emergency response in your community spaces.

Standard Course Offerings Available for Contract Booking
AHA First Aid, CPR, and AED Training
Starting $100 and up per person.
We provide accessible, customized, AHA Aligned First Aid, CPR, and AED training to both “lay” and professional rescuers. Our courses are tailored for the context in which our students are most likely to employ their skills, so that when the time comes to act, our students are better prepared to save a life.
We recognize that social factors have a direct impact on the likelihood of critical bystander interventions being applied in the first moments after an incident, and actively work to eliminate these “training scars” through the use of inclusive training aids, enhanced scenarios, and class discussion.
We offer both Blended Learning and full Instructor Led course options to fit your schedule and learning styles. We also offer neurodivergent friendly courses (smaller class sizes, longer course lengths, additional practice time and Q&A) as well as Deaf and HoH accessible courses through the use of Closed Captioning for our Instructors and Video Materials. Whether it’s your living room, a company training facility, or a non-traditional venue like a boat launch or a nightclub, we emphasize training in the environment that works best for our students.
For students with physical disabilities, we’ll happily work with you in advance of a class and on the day of to find a way to help you master these skills in a manner that sets you up for success! While the AHA does impose certain minimum physical performance requirements for some certifications, we’ll do everything we can to get you to that goal! For those who are absolutely unable to perform the required physical skills but can demonstrate a Cognitive Mastery of required concepts, we offer an AHA Advisor certification option for certain courses.
Professional Rescuers and Healthcare Professionals - Need a last minute certification or renewal? We’ll come to you!
Stop the Bleed® Training
Included w/some courses, standalone pricing available
Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death in trauma. No one plans for a traumatic injury to occur. When it does, the individuals in a position to do the most good when a traumatic injury occurs are rarely professional rescuers.
Nationally, the average response time for EMS personnel to an emergency is 7 minutes, while the average human being can suffer life threatening blood loss in a fraction of that time.
We offer ACS Stop the Bleed® training either as a stand-alone module or as an included add-on for many of our first aid courses.
We take training to the next level with the use of wet bleed simulators to provide students the opportunity to stress test their skills following ample individual instruction. Experience has proven that these sorts of applied, realistic exercises improve student proficiency and skills retention, preparing you to act quickly and effectively in a time of crisis.
As with our AHA First Aid, CPR, and AED training, we will happily work to accommodate individuals with physical disabilities within the realm of the possible.
Professional Rescuers and Healthcare Professionals - Need a certification to become an STB Instructor? Reach out and let us know - we’ll come to you!
Advanced Courses
Price varies by Course and Booking Type
Outlier Solutions Group is committed to bringing the best of our knowledge and experience to the individuals who are best positioned to make a difference. When seconds count, professional rescuers are minutes to hours away. That’s why we’ve expanded our course offerings to provide advanced training and education to non-professional rescuers. We’ll help you develop the skills to access the right levels of care, determine how to make the best of a bad situation, and manage your risks before, during, and after an emergency occurs.
Additionally, we can create custom scenarios or targeted workshops that address specific topics, environmental factors, or cultural contexts that most other training providers might not be able to fulfill.
Our cultural competencies include: LGBTQIA+ communities, kink and ENM communities, small-stage performance and fringe arts communities, nightclub and entertainment settings, fan convention communities and events, public safety contexts, wilderness events, and many more.
Our approach ensures that we provide a solid baseline to all of our students, and then go a step further to emphasize those factors that are most relevant to a given class.
Some of our custom training options include:
Outlier’s Level 1 and Level 2 Rescue Courses (TM)
Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC-AB, FR, BLS)
Event Monitor training for specialty spaces
Custom practical safety and rescue training
Naloxone (“Narcan”) Training
Risk Assessment, Planning and Management Training
Skills Workshops
Custom live scenarios
"Brother Murphy, patron saint of avoidable disaster, grant us the serenity to accept those risks which cannot be changed, the planning and training to mitigate those which we can, and the foresight to figure out one from the other before there's blood on the floor. Amen”
