As the instructors are usually dealing with people with little or no experience with guns, surely any practical training needs to be one on one?

A two hour course with 20 people equals six minutes each. Unless you have more instructors, less students or make people take a longer course.

I think any practical part will be pretty much the same as it is now: How to open the actions of different types of guns and check they are unloaded.

Most initial training prior to Toet training in the Army is only a 30-40 min lesson for a number of students that have never handled a firearm.

Certainly won't have the repetition the military has but I think it is achievable for a base understanding.

In fact I think only the military has the means to deliver the required police training with any consistency and efficiency, but that will never happen.
