The student entering the course has basic movement skills, the ability to work in a team, and an elementary orientation in security issues. Physical and psychological readiness for active participation in field and experiential forms of education is assumed, which may include increased physical exertion, work in difficult conditions, and solving simulation tasks with a tactical element. The student should also demonstrate a willingness to self-reflect, cooperate in a team, and engage in constructive communication within group activities. An advantage is internal motivation for professional growth in the field of security forces and an interest in the development of motor, cognitive, and psychosocial competencies.
