"Wonderful experience being trained by Ben McCarty. He knows his job very well. Give us the trainees opportunities to express ourselves, ask questions and respond to them accordingly. But he is sometimes too fast with words that some of us who are not English native speakers sometimes find it a little difficult to follow along. But he’s a great trainer."
“The whole course was well taught and delivered in a professional manner. My instructor, James Gilles, was very knowledgeable over all subjects covered in the door supervisor and the first aid course. any questions raised were answered immediately and a full explanation given. 10/10 for the whole experience & the support from Get Licensed."
