Overall, the course is the best spent money that I have ever invested, the instructors displayed a great understanding of the subjects, which in turn gives me confidence that I will be able to become an effective Operator AJ - Former 22 Special Air Service (Regiment).

I've thoroughly enjoyed myself and I now have a firm foundation on which to continue building my knowledge base.  I believe that I’m better prepared and confident that I have the necessary skills to make the transition from my current contract, and pursue a career in the Close protection/PSD community.  Thank you AB, K***, A*** and J****.
