Guys I've had several PMs about exactly what the Extreme Close Quarters Concepts course is and isn't. It's billed as "an overview of functional handgun skills at 0-5 feet" which requires "a multi-disciplinary approach to problem solving". That being said the best way to make a decision about whether this is or isn't something you want to do is to watch the videos that have been posted on-line.
Just so everyone knows, there isn't a standard to be met, it's strictly experiential. To date in doing open enrollment courses I've had only ONE significant injury and that was a fall on an indoor range on a hard surface.
So here is some reference material:
