Course detail: Gracie Level 2 Live Instructor Certification Program
When combined with the techniques taught in the Level 1 course, GST Level 2 provides any law enforcement agency with a complete defensive tactics solution. With 17 additional techniques, GST Level 2 covers everything from multiple officer arrest procedures and dynamic weapon retention to vehicle extractions and compliant handcuffing techniques (low risk and high risk).
This 5-day course is hosted year-round at various locations. Day 1 is entirely dedicated to a comprehensive review of the Level 1 material. Days 2 and 3 are committed to learning Level 2 techniques. Day 4 is used to review and refine the Gracie Teaching Methodologies, and Day 5 is when the final evaluation takes place.
Not only does successful Level 2 completion certify participants as Level 2 GST instructors, but it also serves as Level 1 recertification.

Listed below are some pertinent details for the Level 2 GST Instructor Certification Program(ICP).
Qualifications
To qualify to attend the Level 2 GST ICP, you must be active-duty military, law enforcement, or a first responder, and you must have completed GST Level 1 no more than two years before your Level 2 course commencement date. Exceptions are made to the two-year rule on a case-by-case basis. If you graduated from Level 1 more than two years ago and would like to be considered for Level 2 participation, please email us at GST@GracieUniversity.com.
Training Partners
Since each Live ICP typically attracts 50-150 participants from all over the world, you don't need to bring a training partner. Although most agencies send two or more instructors to ensure the successful implementation of the GST curriculum at the organization, many participants attend the course alone and have no trouble learning the material. Part of the reason the course is so successful is that we go to great lengths to make sure everyone has a training partner that is best suited for them.
Instructor Handbook
Upon arrival at the Live ICP, you will be given a printed copy of the official GST Level 2 Instructor Handbook which outlines all the techniques and teaching methods covered during the week. Not only will the handbook help you keep track of everything you learn throughout the week, but it will serve as an invaluable reference when you return home and are expected to teach the GST techniques to your colleagues.
Evaluation Process
During the live ICP, we are evaluating you the entire week. Your techniques, your dedication, your interactions with the other students, etc. At the end of the week, we conduct a series of drills designed to assess your competency in the skills learned and use mock teaching exercises to verify your comprehension of the Gracie Teaching Methodologies. If your performance meets Gracie University standards, you will receive your GST Level 2 Instructor Certification.
Certification Details
Upon successful completion of the Live ICP, you will receive a GST Level 2 Instructor Certificate, a GST Level 2 Instructor T-shirt, and a GST Level 2 Challenge Coin. Since GST Level 2 also serves as a GST Level 1 recertification, you will be authorized to teach both Levels for 2 years (24 months) within your organization
