Evidence-Based Scenario Trainer® (EBST) Course for Law Enforcement

Train Smarter. Train Safer.

Evidence-Based Scenario Trainer® Course

The Evidence-Based Scenario Trainer® (EBST) Course is built for law enforcement and public safety professionals seeking effective, practical training for real-world situations.

As pioneers in realistic and relevant scenario training since 1980, we’ve designed this course to help trainers develop more realistic, responsible, and relevant scenarios that enhance decision-making, situational awareness, and de-escalation tactics while reducing liability.

 
 

The Evidence-Based Scenario Trainer® certification gives you:

  • Cutting-edge, evidence-based training techniques rooted in science, psychology, and real-world testing.

  • Advanced scenario-building skills to prepare students for the unexpected.

  • Deeper insight into managing confrontation by reverse-engineering violent encounters through our patented formula.

This method integrates seamlessly into any DT or Combatives training system your organization currently uses and helps officers build confidence in dynamic, real-world encounters.

This course gives trainers and officers the tools to:

  • Reverse-Engineer Real Incidents: Use video evidence (dash cams, body cams, CCTV) to create scenarios reflecting real encounters.

  • Build Effective Scenario Training: Develop realistic, safe training environments for participants.

  • Improve Pre-Contact Cue Recognition: Identify verbal and non-verbal cues before an attack.
