  • I think anybody would be hard pushed to find a more passionate and proffessional training provider, i really could not fault these guys they really have nailed it! A vast wealth of experience in the industry and a commitment to maintaining the standard of operators. The course itself was very challenging and you need to be prepared to put the hours in but the sense of acheivement at the end makes it all worth it!

  • Those who attended March 2011 course will know what that means and more importantly- who said that. I should say that the that Common Sense was the motto of the course, therefore it was more than useful. There was a lot of absolutely necessary info given to students not only to fulfill the roles of CP team members, but also to run the CP work: to include info gathering, planning and executing the mission. Another indeed great approach to teaching was this one: this is A way, not the THE way to do things. Humble, yet professional way to put the idea- and well respected by students. Speaking of whom: it was great pleasure to work with such a small team, who understood each other from half- word, without having had chance to work together previously. It is worth something. With respect to all participants and instructors, Ray.

What I would highlight: A member of the forces for 24 years, thought the course was professionally laid out with the course instruction being top draw, the personal accounts of the CP world by the instructors were not only interesting but made you realise how important the Close Protection world is. if you are an ex member of the forces or someone that is a civilian wanting to change his or her direction then this course and company are second to none.

What I would highlight: The course was well catered for and the experiences of the trainers was phemomenal, as a group of 11 we gelled very quickly. The venue was in a mansion and the training area was perfect for the role. I would not hesitate in recomending National Security College as a course provider. I would give them 10/10..
