This course is designed to offer an authentic glimpse into the rigors faced by Royal Marine Commandos and Special Forces soldiers during their training. Over the span of 24 hours, participants will face real-life challenges, pushing their physical and mental limits in a high-intensity, military-inspired environment.

This course is not just about fitness—it’s about resilience, tactical awareness, leadership, and the ability to perform under pressure. It's ideal for those seeking a military-style experience that closely mirrors Special Forces selection and Royal Marines Commando training. Participants will face realistic military scenarios including load carries, weapons handling, speed marches, and casualty evacuation, all while being led and mentored by highly experienced ex-military instructors. 

All instructors bring decades of experience from the Royal Marines, British Army and Special Forces including multiple tours worldwide and private security roles in high-risk areas like Afghanistan, Iraq, The Horn Of Africa and the Middle East.

'The Commando Course' is designed to push participants to their limits, both mentally and physically. While a base level of fitness is required, the course welcomes individuals of all ages, genders, and fitness levels.
