"I was lucky enough to take a Close Protection Course where I was instructed by Nick Player. Nick is an excellent instructor making his courses both informative and also fun. Under his tutelage I expanded my learning and was able to develop new skills whilst unpacking core security principles and techniques that aid me in the Close Protection world. Nick is highly professional with many years of real world experience at the highest levels of operational security and Close Protection. I highly recommend any and all courses provided by him! 10/10"

"A very knowledgeable instructor with personal experience within the close protection arena (still heavily active as a CP Operative), Nick was very comprehensive and patient with his course delivery. He was very articulated, drew on several examples of real world scenarios (video footage examples of what one should/should not do in given situations) backed up by practical exercises. Given the wide spectrum of experience within the group, Nick easily managed to level the field and ensured all students grasped the concepts and assimilated the knowledge. Given my military background and having undertaken various training courses over the 20 plus years, I can wholeheartedly say it was the most enjoyable and delivered course without underrating all my previous instructors. I would undoubtedly highly recommend all potential candidates to be instructed by Nick."
