5 Day SERE Training | September 18–22

Registration is open for our next 5-Day SERE course at The Survival University in Colorado.

SERE stands for Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape, but this course goes far beyond learning a few survival skills. Students are placed in controlled, increasingly difficult situations designed to challenge decision-making, adaptability, situational awareness, fieldcraft and the ability to continue functioning under stress.

Our instructor team brings extensive real-world military, SERE and special operations experience to the course. This is serious training conducted in a controlled environment, not a theatrical “torture course” or reality-show experience.

If you want to find out how you perform when you're tired, uncomfortable, uncertain and under pressure, this is the course.
