A comprehensive one-day program combining classroom theory with intensive live-fire application of tactical thermal imaging, customized to your department's specific TIC models.
This course provides an intensive introduction to tactical thermal imaging, customized to your department’s specific needs and TIC models. The program includes active classroom participation, a customized student manual, and implementation guidance. This offering is our most popular “in-service” style training, designed to be repeated across multiple days to ensure all shifts receive identical, high-level instruction.
Participants will master the fundamentals of thermal imaging in a classroom setting before transitioning to practical application. The second half of the day is dedicated entirely to live fire evolutions, allowing students to apply tactical thermal imaging concepts in a realistic high-heat environment.
The host organization must cover student manual printing costs and provide a suitable training building. Insight Training staff will arrive one day early to perform a test burn and ensure the facility performs adequately. Staffing requires a minimum of 3 instructors for 15 students, 4 for 20 students, or 5 for 30 students.
Full structural PPE and SCBA are required for all live fire evolutions. Departments must provide their specific brands and models of thermal imaging cameras for customized training and implementation.
The base rate is up to $6,300 per day; however, this does not include travel and lodging costs. Pricing is valid for the United States only. Any courses requested outside of the U.S. require a custom proposal to account for extended travel and tax liabilities. Contact us for specific pricing.
Modular Schedule Options
The first half of the day is dedicated to the classroom. This section can be shortened if the organization has previously completed a classroom training session. The second half of the day consists entirely of live fire evolutions. For departments seeking “in-service” style training for all shifts, we typically provide a three-day sequential format, repeating the program each day to ensure total personnel coverage.
Instructional Staffing Ratios
To maintain safety and instructional quality, the course follows strict staffing requirements based on student count: 15 students require 3 instructors; 20 students require 4 instructors; and 30 students require 5 instructors.
Site Validation & Setup
The Insight Training team arrives one day early to the host location. We conduct a full site setup and a mandatory test burn to ensure the training building or site performs adequately and safely for the curriculum’s specific objectives.
Post-Training Assets & Implementation
All video captured during the live burns is professionally recorded and edited, then provided to the host organization for future internal training use. Additionally, the department receives access to our comprehensive training video archives and YouTube channel resources to support ongoing skill maintenance and implementation.
