Raising the Standard of Firearm Training for Film & TV

Firearm Training for Film & TV was founded with a simple purpose: to provide professional, specialist firearms training that develops safe, confident and authentic firearm handling for the screen.
We believe believable firearm handling is a professional skill. Like any professional skill, it should be taught by experienced instructors in a structured, supportive environment where safety, professionalism and continuous development come first.
Whether you're preparing for your first role, developing your existing skills or simply looking to experience professional firearms training, our goal is to help every student leave more confident than when they arrived.
WHY WE STARTED
After many years of delivering professional firearms instruction, our founder, Benjamin Leonides, recognised that many actors and performers were expected to handle firearms on screen with little or no structured training.
Rather than accepting that as the norm, Firearm Training for Film & TV was established to raise the standard of firearms training available to the Film & TV industry.
From the beginning, our focus has remained the same: delivering professional instruction that combines safety, practical experience and authentic screen techniques in a welcoming and supportive environment.


a PROFESSIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE
-
Every student arrives with a different level of experience.
-
Some have never handled a firearm before.
-
Others have military, police, security or shooting backgrounds.
-
Our role is to provide structured training that meets students where they are, builds on their existing knowledge and develops the skills required for Film & TV.
-
Throughout the course, you'll be supported by experienced instructors who are committed to creating a professional, enjoyable and confidence-building learning environment.
our philosophy
We don't believe confidence comes from simply handling a firearm.
Confidence comes from understanding.
It comes from learning the correct techniques, practising them under professional guidance and knowing why each skill matters.
That's why every course combines structured classroom learning with practical exercises designed to build competence, confidence and authenticity.
Our aim is not simply to teach people how to handle firearms.
Our aim is to help people handle them safely, professionally and convincingly for the screen.


more than a course
We're proud that many of our students return for additional training and recommend our courses to friends and colleagues.
That trust has been built through consistent delivery, specialist knowledge and a genuine commitment to helping people improve.
Our success isn't measured simply by the number of courses we deliver.
It's measured by the confidence our students gain, the standards they achieve and the positive experiences they take away from every course.
LOOKING AHEAD
As the Film & TV industry continues to evolve, so do we.
We are committed to continually developing our courses, maintaining professional standards and ensuring our students receive modern, relevant and engaging firearms training that reflects today's industry expectations.
Whether you're starting your journey or continuing your professional development, we look forward to welcoming you to Firearm Training for Film & TV.
Train Safely. Build Confidence. Perform with Authenticity.
