What is active attacker training
What is active shooter (active shooter at school) training?
Active attacker training (synonyms: active shooter, amok, active shooter at school) is training for responding to an armed attack in a building. Participants are taught the "Run-Hide-Fight" procedure according to the MV ČR methodology for protecting soft targets and the ČSN 73 4400 standard: when to run, when to hide behind a barricade, and when to actively fight. It is not a lecture, but a practical exercise in decision-making in the first seconds of an attack.
Who is the training intended for?
For institutions and organizations — schools and their founders (municipalities and cities), authorities, social services, medical facilities and companies, i.e. soft targets in the sense of ČSN 73 4400. We train teaching staff, management and crisis teams, security and frontline staff. Private individuals head to our public "How to Survive an Active Attacker" course.
How is the training conducted?
We combine a short theoretical framework, model situations and a debrief. We practice the Run – Hide – Fight procedure on a specific floor plan of your building. We do not use mock-up weapons or attack simulations with pupils — we work with the logic of age-appropriate instructions and always with parental consent.
How long does the training take?
We can handle the Pedagogical Corps in one day (8×45 minutes). Management and crisis staff have a specialized one-day module, pupils 5–16×45 minutes depending on age and companies 4–8 hours. We adjust the scope according to the size of the organization and the initial state.

Open →Frequently asked questions
Is active attacker training mandatory for schools?
The minimum school safety standard (methodology MŠMT 2024) requires that the school has a prepared crisis plan and regularly practices the response to an armed attacker. It prescribes the specific form of training indirectly — trained personnel and practiced lockdown are prerequisites for fulfilling the standard. For authorities and soft targets, the MV ČR methodology for the protection of soft targets and the ČSN 73 4400 standard apply.
How is it different from the public course for individuals?
This is an institutional (B2B) training for the entire choir or team directly in your building — the price is CZK 49,000 per choir (8×45 min, up to 30 people), we rehearse the procedure on your floor plan, deal with lockdown, school card for IZS and crisis communication. Individuals from the public are headed to our one-day "How to Survive an Active Attacker" course with an open date and cost per person.
Isn't active attacker training traumatic for children?
Not if it's done right. Our student training is not an attack simulation. No dummy guns, no adrenaline. We work with logic: "when something happens, we listen to the teacher and take three specific steps". For kindergartens, it's more of a game of instructions. Open debate for 2nd grade and primary school. Always with parental consent.
What will the school receive after the training?
Final report with attendance, photo documentation (after approval), list of proposed amendments to the school's emergency plan, sample school card for IZS, certificate of graduation for teachers. For management, 30 minutes of online consultation for implementation.
How often to repeat the training?
MŠMT 2024 (Minimum Standard) explicitly requires regular training, not one-off training. We recommend: introductory training + annual repetition block (4 hours) + model situation once a year. Without repetition, the usability of the decision framework decreases by ~50% in 12 months.
Who trains?
Lecturer team GBH Defence Academy led by Lumír Němec (former SOG commander, 11 years URNA Police of the Czech Republic). It is supplemented by Milan Kotouč (soft target protection commander), Luděk Trojánek (close protection) and other instructors with real operational experience. Accreditation MV ČR AK/I-48/2025.
Can it be financed from OP JAK?
Yes. OP JAK 2021–2027 supports measures in the area of school safety incl. staff training. When applying for a grant, we provide support — a course description structured as an eligible expense, plus an accreditation certificate MV ČR as an attachment to the application.
What does it cost?
Standard price CZK 49,000 for training of the teaching staff of one school (8×45 min, up to 30 people). There are three ranges in the price list: AMOK 1 (up to 30 persons, CZK 49,000), AMOK 2 (up to 50 persons, CZK 79,000) and AMOK 3 (up to 100 persons, CZK 139,000). For multi-day programs, larger choirs or a combination of teachers + students, we will prepare a tailor-made calculation.
