NINE YEARS INSIDE GROM ISN'T A LINE ON A CV.
​​​​​​​IT'S THE STANDARD.

TIER-1 TRAINING · GROM OPERATORS
Organized by Jan Knutti in partnership with Rata Academy · Instructors provided by North Coast Tactical Solutions (Radecki)

Finland has plenty of shooting courses. Few are taught by instructors who were responsible for developing and delivering marksmanship and CQB training inside one of Europe's most respected Tier-1 special mission units—and one of them still performs that role today.

These are the same methods GROM continues to use to train its own operators in marksmanship and room clearance. Every shot, every movement and every decision is coached individually. Stance, grip, sight picture, trigger control, movement, recoil management and angles are corrected immediately—not left for participants to discover afterwards.

The limited group size ensures every participant receives continuous coaching throughout the course rather than simply attending another classroom-style training event.

The course begins with an assessment based on JW GROM's own marksmanship qualification standards, establishing each participant's baseline skill level and allowing instructors to tailor training throughout the course.

• A valid Finnish firearms licence.
