CMOE 21X

Red Team Alliance's Covert Methods of Entry trainings are geared toward students who need to be prepared to work in the field of physical site compromise and entry. This RTA program is segmented into progressive modules which are approached in order, although students may opt to enroll in them consecutively or gradually over time:

  • CMOE 101 : Entry Fundamentals
  • CMOE 201: Core Curriculum
  • CMOE 21X : Regional Platforms
  • CMOE 301: In-Depth Labs & Practical Applications
  • CMOE 401: Advanced & Uncommon Methodologies

This one-day training, entitled Regional Platforms, is available in multiple offerings which delve more deeply into the kinds of lock systems and physical security hardware which are prevalent in different parts of the world. Please note the specific variant of this class in which you are enrolling -- CMOE 212 focuses on North America, CMOE 213 focuses on Europe and the UK, and CMOE 214 focuses on Australia and the Pacific zone. Most of the hardware-specific modules in this class are accompanied by substantial hands-on lab time to ensure that students can build and retain functional skills with the tools and techniques we explore during these two days.

Whether operating under the aegis of government authority or acting in a private sector security evaluation capacity, CMoE personnel who train with RTA leave class equipped both mentally and materially to tackle the kinds of situations that our industry routinely presents to field agents.

Time: 9:00AM - 5:00PM local time as specified in course listing (Including Coffee and Lunch Breaks)

Requirements and Prerequisites: CMOE 21X classes are a direct follow-up class to CMOE 201, our Core Curriculum training. It is understood that students enrolling in CMOE 21X level classes will have completed all perquisite classes, particularly because our participation in our Core Curriculum entails a full kit of tools and sample hardware issued to each student. Students are expected to have retained their full hardware package from their participation in previous CMOE classes. If any components of a student's hardware package have been damaged or lost, replacements can be made available but we ask that any class participant who needs to avail themselves of this option to please reach out to RTA prior to their enrollment so that we can provision the necessary equipment and adjust their class registration fee accordingly.

Hardware Included:

  • Cross Pick
  • Adams Rite Trip Wire
  • Adams Rite Long Shot Hook Set
  • RTT Quick-Connect Tubular Pick (CMOE 212 only)
  • Dimple Pick Set (CMOE 213 & 214 only)
  • Euro Thumbturn Bypass Tools (CMOE 213 & 214 only)

Certification Preparation: RTA's Covert Methods of Entry training courses are seen by most in the industry as a key initial step on the pathway toward achievement of the tiered Red Team Certification Group credentialing process. Most participants who complete the CMOE course program find themselves well prepared for the knowledge exam and practical hands-on exam portions of the Covert Entry Associate certification.

Please note: CMOE 301 and CMOE 401 are in-person only. There is no remote option for days four and five.
