Extremely pleased with how it all went. This also stands for the Door Supervisor Top Up training which also included First Aid too. Thank you for having patience and being clear and thorough. James

Having completed two courses with SMSW team and organised numerous courses for other colleagues I can't thank the training team enough for their support. The CCTV course was very well organised. The content exactly as needed. The standard for passing is set by the awarding body, but the way the course is structured and delivered gives you the knowledge to pass. I feel very comfortable moving forward with knowledge gained. The trainer Jamie is patient and explains every aspect in clear detail and any questions or confusion is cleared up quickly. All told excellent and I would highly recommend any course they offer.
