SAMI International is a global training organization providing training programs and educational systems for individuals, authorities, and organizations. Professional conduct and proportionate use of equipment is the most important cornerstone of our training.
Spring 1999 — with a vision and a lot of dedication, Mag. Irmengard Weckauf-Hanzal and Peter Weckauf founded SAMI International.
Today — 20 years later — our security concepts and systems are taught in over 50 countries.
All our training programs have a history and are still constantly questioned and tested for their efficiency today.
Our experiences — and those of our instructors from practice — from courses with police special units, police officers, training in correctional facilities, with security companies, professional groups, and also private individuals, always flow into all our concepts.
We stand for practical relevance, timeliness, professionalism, reliability, discretion, empathy, and flexibility.
The expertise and many years of practical experience of our multi-professional team offers you the optimal mix of professional know-how and practical relevance.
Through our seminars and training courses specifically tailored to your company, you benefit sustainably in your professional everyday life.
In the development of our training content, pedagogues, trainers, police operational trainers, lawyers, and doctors as well as security professionals and self-defense experts are involved.
