MCTFT provides courses which are primarily aimed at training all law enforcement personnel, especially those assigned to a drug task force or narcotics investigations. Some courses are designed for an expanded audience including elected and appointed officials, business and banking personnel, and school and community representatives. The combined effort of many law enforcement agencies towards the development of the MCTFT program has resulted in the most comprehensive counterdrug program available, encompassing the latest techniques and technologies.

The MCTFT traditional course offerings progress from classroom lectures to "real life" scenarios that compel attendees to utilize available resources to develop an investigation for successful prosecution. Central to the educational approach is an outlining of the various military and civil support capabilities available to all drug task force personnel.

MCTFT's satellite broadcasts have produced award-winning videos and television news style counterdrug broadcasts which are beamed to thousands of downlink sites in all 50 states. MCTFT uses a state-of-the-art television studio located at the Allstate Center campus of St. Petersburg College to produce live and taped broadcasts and also uses a satellite truck which is available for live uplinks from any location in the United States.

The MCTFT online E-Drug training courses are open-entry/open-exit, student centered, interactive, and stand alone making them available 24/7. The content was derived from the traditional courses and provides an overview to curriculum and safety issues for law enforcement officers. The infrastructure for the course delivery involves a secure application process, online registration, a certificate for students upon successful completion of testing, and a help desk for technology issues.

The MCTFT program provides CD-ROM interactive courses exclusively to law enforcement and military personnel. The courses were developed in conjunction with the United States Army Military Police School and provide the student with the capability of requesting a certificate upon completion of training.
