And are dedicated to providing the highest quality self-defence education to individuals and organisations.
At HardTarget, our focus is on teaching essential life skills that can be applied in any situation. We believe in turning conflict on its head, using a proactive and preventative approach to violence. Our goal is to give our students total confidence in their ability to protect themselves and others.
We offer a range of courses and workshops to cater to different needs and preferences. Whether you prefer individualised workshops, online courses, or training through virtual reality platforms, we have the right option for you. Trust that we will take away the fear of the unknown and replace it with faith in yourself.
Our courses cover various groups, including security personnel, individuals in the service industry, corporate workplaces, and military and law enforcement agencies. For security guards, our courses cover everything from practical and physical skills to legal considerations. We have years of experience training government agencies and are ready to transfer that knowledge and expertise to you.
Individuals working in the service industry will benefit from our courses designed to keep themselves, their colleagues, and their clients safe. We understand the challenges of dealing with people on a daily basis and empower our students to make the right decisions in any situation.
Corporate workplaces that prioritise a healthy work environment will find our tailored workshops beneficial. Conflict within the workplace can be detrimental to employee happiness and productivity, and we provide the tools to create a dynamic, engaging, and fun environment that benefits everyone involved.
For military and law enforcement personnel, our industry-specific courses are delivered by subject matter experts with specialised military and law enforcement experience. Our programmes have been trusted to teach personnel to operate effectively in high-stress, physically charged environments.
We also offer the Smart Safety Foundation course, an online programme that provides knowledge on how conflict occurs. This course approaches conflict prevention and resolution with a proactive and preventative philosophy, taking the fear out of conflict and leaving students empowered.
With over 22 years of successful teaching, we have established ourselves as the leading authority in lawfully defensible personal safety concepts in New Zealand. Our certifications include being the only ASP certified baton and handcuff trainer in the country. Thousands of military personnel and ordinary people have already benefited from our training, and we are proud to have a fail-safe record, meaning no serious harm or death has occurred using our concepts or as a result of criminal convictions for misuse.
At HardTarget, we are passionate about what we do because we know it works. We have a strong track record of training government agencies, including the NZ Police Force and military personnel, and we were expert consultants in the design of current security training standards in New Zealand. Trust us to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to stay safe and thrive in any situation.
