WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
ITCQB Week 01 is designed for professional users who want to develop a structured understanding of close-quarters tactics and Project Gecko's ITCQB methodology.
The course is suitable for:
Active military personnel
Law-enforcement personnel
Vetted security professionals
Professional users looking to develop or refine their CQB fundamentals
Participants seeking a structured progression from individual skills into team-level application
Previous CQB experience: Not necessarily required, but participants must meet the professional eligibility and weapon-handling prerequisites for the course.
Eligibility: Active / former military, law enforcement and vetted security personnel.
COURSE CONTENT
01 — ITCQB FUNDAMENTALS
Introduction to the ITCQB methodology, interior terrain and the tactical logic behind working in and around structures.
02 — INDIVIDUAL & SOLO SKILLS
Development of the individual skills required to solve close-quarter problems, including solo room-clearing concepts and individual weapon handling.
03 — CELL-LEVEL CQB
Progression from individual work into small-team tactics, mutual support and coordinated room-clearing.
04 — CLEARING SPEEDS & DECISION MAKING
Understanding the relationship between information, exposure and tempo. Working between deliberate, default and attack-oriented clearing speeds according to the problem.
05 — TEAM-LEVEL CQB
Team clearing concepts, corridor tactics, offset exposures, door interaction, SOPs and man-down considerations.
06 — FORCE-ON-FORCE VALIDATION
Selected concepts from the week are placed under pressure through drills and extended Force-on-Force scenarios, allowing participants to test decisions rather than simply rehearse techniques.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
By the end of the week, participants should have developed a practical understanding of:
How interior terrain, exposure and available information shape tactical decisions
How ITCQB principles scale from individual and solo work into cell- and team-level room clearing
How and why clearing approaches change according to terrain, threat and available information
How to apply these principles when confronted with uncertainty and human opposition
The emphasis is not simply on memorizing techniques, but on understanding why, when and under which conditions they are applied.
Concepts introduced during the week are progressively tested through practical exercises and Force-on-Force validation.

ITCQB WEEK 02
Intermediate-level CQB training focused on continuous clearing, advanced split-stack applications, complex environments and decision-making within the ITCQB framework.
Building directly on the baseline established during ITCQB WEEK 01, WEEK 02 moves beyond individual room-clearing problems into continuous tactical movement, increasingly complex environments and advanced team applications. The course develops the student's ability to adapt established ITCQB principles as the tactical problem expands in scale, complexity and uncertainty.
Focus: Advanced application of ITCQB Deliberate concepts in complex environments, from split-stack tactics to continuous team-level problem-solving.
COURSE AT A GLANCE
Date: Jan 25 - 29 January 2027
Location: Rotenburg (Wümme) area, Germany
Duration: 5 days
Level: Intermediate
Language: English
Course Fee: €1,249
Instructor: Eli Feildboy
WHAT YOU WILL TRAIN
ITCQB WEEK 02 builds directly on the tactics established during WEEK 01 and applies them to increasingly complex problems. The progression moves from refreshing and pressure-testing the existing baseline into advanced split-stack applications, continuous clearing, subject control and methods for shaping the situation before committing the team to entry.
WEEK 01 RECAP & PRESSURE TESTING
Day 01 is dedicated to re-establishing the ITCQB WEEK 01 baseline through a full day of Force-on-Force scenarios. The focus is on refreshing and reinforcing established team procedures while pressure-testing problem-solving, decision-making and adaptability before progressing into the WEEK 02 material.
ADVANCED SPLIT-STACK APPLICATIONS
Build on the split-stack tactics established during WEEK 01 and adapt them to more demanding layouts, complex geometry and evolving tactical problems from two-man applications through full team-level execution.
ROOM-TO-ROOM TTPS
Develop two-man to team-level TTPs for identifying, understanding and clearing priority directions during continuous room-to-room operations, while maintaining coordination and control as the team moves through the structure. Students will learn Priority direction of clears, Limit of advance, and other relevant context to RTR terrains.
SUBJECT CONTROL
Develop procedures for controlling subjects inside the room, while still controlling the room. TTPs including communication, positioning and arrest/control techniques, while addressing the distinct requirements and considerations of law-enforcement and military applications.
CALL OUTS & CELL-TO-CENTER
Develop SOPs for controlling and handling subjects prior to team entry. The emphasis is on using communication, positioning and controlled movement to set conditions in the team's favor before committing personnel to the room. TTPs will alternate between Call out / Call to Center.
CORRIDORS, INTERSECTIONS & COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTS
Apply the ITCQB framework to corridors, intersections and increasingly complicated structures where multiple directions, spaces and team elements must be managed continuously. Students will learn how to solve X, L and T sections in two to team level capacities. most importantly - the team will understand the reality behind level of risk associated with intersections.
VALIDATION & FORCE-ON-FORCE
Integrate the WEEK 02 material through Force-on-Force exercises and validation scenarios designed to test application, communication and decision-making under pressure.
