Believe in the 2 weeks I learnt and progressed a great deal and owe this to the excellent instruction and speed which I felt was just right. Best course I have ever been on and the most enjoyableMike S - former UK Police Firearms Officer, interview, deployed, Aegis Iraq. (June 07 PSD Operator + Live Firearms Course)

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 CPO Licensed (Sept 06 PSD Operator Course)

The course itself was tough but worth the money.  At first, I didn’t like it, felt like I should know all of these things already, from being in Iraq and Afghanistan prior to going.  It opened my eyes to a lot of things and different scenarios that I hadn’t thought about or seen yet.  I learned different techniques in driving, walking drills, and even searching that I can use. I value the one-on-one mid-course evaluation conference with the instructors.  The course ramped up big-time after the first week making you dig deep and pull your weight. By the second week, you should be clicking pretty good as a team and nothing’s worse than letting down your team.  The action (training) never stopped until a few hours before graduation. I’m happy with my purchase.  I researched this company long before I sent them any money.  I first heard about them in a PSD chat room when I was shopping companies for training.  Their website, responses to my emails, and all around helping attitude led me to choose them above: Blackwater, Phoenix, ESTS, and a few others. I’ve recommended this training to friends of mine. Scott - former US Army, US Marine Corps (June 06 PSD Operator Course)
