The Self-Rescue Doctrine
The Ken Garrett Group delivers post-secondary vocational training designed in alignment with EPTL workforce standards.
Our training is built on the “Trained to Self-Rescue” doctrine, emphasizing judgment under pressure, legal compliance, and real-world decision-making.
From civilian foundations to advanced professional pathways, our programs are designed for high-stakes environments where preparation matters.
State licensure and EPTL program approval are in progress.
