I've been. Great Course. David wrote the book on this stuff... literally. He founded the Rhodesian SAS Combat Tracker Unit. Very humble, knowledgable man.

Most tracking schools out there just give the basics of step by step tracking (following every single piece of spoor) without following up on the tactics and theory of tracking in a combat situation. They teach not only how to track as an effective team, but what to do to the enemy once you catch him.

TTOS shows its students how to track in multiple dedicated 5 or 6 man teams with each position having a specific responsibility while tracking. They teach employment, and coordination between tracking teams and react forces. They teach I/A drills for alot of the situations a tracking team may encouter in a combat environment. Very indepth stuff.
