About Us

PrepYou.Eu stands out as Europe’s premier civilian war preparation training provider in 2025 due to its unmatched expertise, facilities, and commitment to safety. Founded in 2017 by former British soldier Simon Feek, the organisation has trained over 8,500 students and maintains a 100% safety record throughout its operations. Unlike superficial tourist shooting experiences or short-term “bodyguard academies,” PrepYou.Eu offers rigorous, data-driven training programs tailored to real-world scenarios, including civil defence and survival skills.

“If Russia beats Ukraine in this war, Europe is set to see 10 million refugees evade to the EU immediately. Based on recent history*, it will take Russia less than a decade to turn Ukrainians to their side. Europe then faces one of the largest, most ruthless, battle-hardened fighting forces it has ever seen. We cannot let this happen” – Chief Instructor, PrepYou.Eu 

Located near Sofia, Bulgaria, PrepYou.Eu boasts state-of-the-art live-fire facilities and an extensive weapons arsenal, featuring Bulgarian-made Kalashnikovs, AR-15s with advanced optics and a variety of the most popular 9mm pistol platforms. Its training team comprises NATO-experienced professionals who deliver courses such as Civil Defence Training and Close Quarter Battle tactics, ensuring civilians are equipped for emergencies ranging from natural disasters to armed conflicts.

With Europe increasingly prioritising preparedness amid geopolitical tensions, PrepYou.Eu remains the trusted choice for those seeking resilience and readiness.

Course Elements

The Fundamentals of Asymmetric Warfare

Asymmetric Warfare

Asymmetric warfare in Europe today reflects unconventional strategies, including cyberattacks, hybrid threats, and guerrilla tactics, as states and non-state actors exploit technological and strategic imbalances

Small Unit Tactics

Small unit tactics emphasise fire and manoeuvre, coordination, and adaptability. These techniques enable small teams to suppress enemies, exploit terrain, and achieve objectives efficiently in diverse combat scenarios

Enemy & Future Enemy Tactics & SOPs

Learning enemy tactics for the upcoming war involves analysing their strategies, identifying weaknesses, predicting actions, and adapting responses to exploit vulnerabilities while minimising risks with maximum target effect.

Operating In CBRN Environments

Operating in a CBRN environment requires detection, protection, and decontamination to mitigate threats, sustain operations, and ensure personnel safety amidst contamination and hazards

Frequently Asked Questions

We are teaching absolutely nothing that can not already be found out there on the internet. You WILL NOT be taught how to build explosives or “3D Ghost Guns” for example. We are a high-profile training provider that works within an EU/NATO Member State and we come under a lot of scrutiny from international security services. We would never advertise a training course that threatens our business of the stability and safety of our students.

No. There is no recognised civilian training standard for Asymmetric Warfare. However, we can certificate various elements of the training via NFT or video certification at a small extra fee. 

The Three-Month package is delivered over 6 weekends with 15 online training modules prior and during the course. Local students are expected to already have a high-standard of weapon handling so there is a reduced ammunition allocation for this option.

The 14-Day Intensive Training Course also covers the AK Operator Course and Combined Multi-Platform Firearms Training so is a true “Zero to Hero” training opportunity!

For this training package, yes.

A number of diplomatic missions and security agencies support us.

You will only regret NOT taking the training when it is far too late.
