At the Boerne Academy and Alternative School, 235 Johns Rd in Boerne, Texas, ALERRT Level 1 condenses lifesaving, high-pressure response into a focused, two-day, 16-hour course designed for security professionals and self-sponsored responders. Held in Classroom C-135 and the adjacent training site, the class moves from tight classroom instruction to force-on-force scenarios that replicate hallways, room entries, and chaotic evacuation lanes. Students learn to isolate, distract, or neutralize an active threat, then immediately transition to the Law Enforcement Evacuation Model to rapidly move casualties to care. Instruction blends concepts and principles with hands-on tactics: Incident Command System basics, Direct Threat Care, arrival and approach considerations, individual and team movement techniques, improvised explosive device awareness, and post-engagement priorities of work. The curriculum builds through progressive drills and culminates in four extended, full-stress scenarios that test decision-making under pressure. Successful completion yields an ALERRT Level 1 certificate validated by pre-course registration at alerrt.org. Logistics are straightforward. The training meets at Classroom C-135; a large "Training Site" sign and strobe lights mark the door. A refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker are available, and students break briefly for lunch both days—pack a sandwich and water. The course requires Licensed Level 3 or 4 Security Officer status, full attendance across both days, and sufficient physical readiness to carry and move fellow responders during extraction drills. Firearms are not permitted inside the facility and must remain secured in vehicles. Why book this in Boerne? The town sits on the edge of the Texas Hill Country where limestone ridges, live oaks, and cedar glade country shape a practical, training-ready landscape. Boerne's community focus and accessible facilities make it a hub for regional responder education without the distractions of a big city. For private security teams, school staff, or corporate security managers operating in Central Texas, the course delivers realistic tradecraft in an environment representative of schools, offices, and civic buildings. Expect rigorous pacing, tight peer feedback, and scenario-based assessment rather than simple lectures. Bring a willingness to be physically tested and to work closely with teammates under simulated stress. For anyone responsible for evacuation, casualty movement, or point-of-contact security, ALERRT Level 1 in Boerne is a concentrated, realistic step toward competence when every second counts. Participants must be 21 or older and register an account at alerrt.org and complete the online pretest before Day One; the course limits attendance to 25 students per session, which keeps instructor-to-student ratios high and feedback immediate. Wear durable clothes that can get scuffed, bring a personal lunch both days, and plan for physically demanding extracts and carries. The venue provides basic kitchen amenities but not overnight lodging; many stay in nearby Boerne. This course emphasizes realistic repetition, after-action reviews, and improvement.
