“I had the opportunity to take the course under guidance of Mr. John Redfern who happened to be a US Army veteran and I got the theoretical and practical knowledge combined with real life scenarios which will help me in future while working as a door supervisor. I would highly recommend the course."

Completed the DS Top up course with Get licensed and passed. Adame who trained us was great, very professional and down to earth guy. Even though he’s had various jobs and years of experience in security he just treats you like a equal, no better than anyone attitude which is good. Professional training by trainers who WANT you to pass not a back street company. Will be definitely back again for further training. Thank you.
