TRAINEE FEEDBACK
★★★★★
"2 day Armed Security class was awesome. The first day class work and test was very informative and he took his time with any and all questions with those of us who were new to the security field. The second day at the range was in my opinion the first time the instructor took the time out to explain HOW to accurately shoot and target with accuracy with every shot."
ELQUE C.
★★★★★
