Standards Training 训练
Excellence is re-earned every year.
Military training made our specialists exceptional. Continuation training keeps them exceptional in a completely different setting — civilian, lawful, public-facing and multicultural. Nobody deploys on reputation alone.
- 8 continuation modules
- 12 mo re-certification cycle
- 100% conduct & law completion
T-01 The foundation they bring
What the military pipeline builds.
Public accounts in Chinese state media and documentary broadcasts describe special forces training as a long ascent through progressively harder stages. Details vary by unit and remain classified in their specifics; the broad shape below is drawn only from what has been openly published.
- 01
Selection
Weeks of assessment testing endurance, mental resilience and teamwork under exhaustion. Many candidates return to their units.
- 02
Physical foundation
Long-distance loaded marches, obstacle courses, swimming and strength conditioning to a standard maintained throughout service.
- 03
Marksmanship & discipline
Precision shooting and strict weapons-handling discipline, building the restraint that civilian protection depends on.
- 04
Insertion skills
Parachute, helicopter and maritime insertion, teaching planning, rehearsal and composure in unforgiving conditions.
- 05
Survival & environments
Plateau, desert, jungle and cold-weather survival, including field medicine and navigation.
- 06
Team & leadership
Small-team command, communication and decision-making — the skills that turn individuals into a unit.
T-02 The conversion framework
Every military skill is re-qualified for civilian life.
Conversion is the heart of our training philosophy. Each skill a veteran brings is examined, adapted to civilian law and expectations, and then independently certified. Some skills transfer almost directly; others must be deliberately unlearned.

T-04 Annual re-certification
The standard is checked, not assumed.
Every twelve months, each specialist is re-assessed against the same four measures. A specialist who falls short is withdrawn from deployment, retrained and re-tested — never quietly waved through.
Assessments are conducted by instructors who are independent of the specialist’s current assignment, so that client relationships never soften the standard.
