Many thanks again for one of the most intense, gruelling, challenging courses I have attended. Not only have you taught valuable job skills, you have changed my whole way of thinking!! In 2 weeks, I don't think the team have experienced so many highs and lows, mentally and physically. Doesn't matter what anyone's background, it is truly THE course to attend.Steve - former British Army, SIA (Security Industry Authority) Licensed CPO
