VT3C Standards

Venom Tactical Techniques Training & Consulting establishes practical performance standards for three distinct training paths: Guardian for everyday citizens, Commando for security and tactical operators, and Ghost for intelligence operatives. Each standard is structured around clearly defined attempts, distances, and three time-based performance levels to measure consistency, capability, and progression. The Guardian standard emphasizes safe, responsible, and effective personal-protection skills in realistic civilian contexts. The Commando standard raises the performance requirement for professionals who may operate in demanding security or tactical environments. The Ghost standard is designed for intelligence professionals who require a higher level of precision, control, discretion, and operational readiness. Performance is evaluated against the applicable course criteria, with the three time standards providing clear benchmarks for successful completion, advanced proficiency, and elite-level execution.
