Development Opportunities for Basic Training, Especially Firearm Training, at the Faculty of Law Enforcement of Ludovika University of Public Service

Abstract

First-year students admitted to the Faculty of Law Enforcement of the Ludovika University of Public Service take part in a five-week basic training course, which includes firearm training. In my thesis, I am looking for its development opportunities. I present the process of selecting and preparing student trainers, and the implementation of firearm trainings. Based on the results of pedagogy, educational theory and training science, I make suggestions to make the above processes more efficient. I present incorrect and correct teaching methods; I try to promote the development of first-year students’ physical fitness and I point out the possibilities of expanding the responsibility of student trainers. I emphasise that the effectiveness of the basic training can be increased several times with the help of a few simple methods, which is absolutely necessary for the long-term development of the students.
