“Learn to be a professional from the professionals!  I truly enjoyed and appreciated this course.  The right mix of theory and practical, and for me, a perfect class size (10).  Both Ken and Michael were personable, professional, and thorough.  Egos were checked at the door! I would highly recommend this training for anyone who considers security as a career.”
