Our Class Structure
We get many emails asking how we structure our classes. Let me clarify. We have regular classes at the HT School on Mondays and Fridays. All classes run continually throughout the year. The reason why I structure them into six week phases is that it is simply easier to manage and maintain progressive training. All students who complete a 6 week phase or a 2 day introduction course automatically become a member of the school. They are then presented with their membership book which contains a record of all training conducted in the Hard Target School as well as list of all techniques that the students has studied, mastered and graded in. Hope this helps. Past students don’t forget to send us in 2 passport size colour photos signed and dated on the back. When I receive them I will post out your yearly membership book- the first year is free. Once you receive your membership book you can avail of up to 25% discount on Hard Target courses (excluding guest iinstructor seminars)
