Great place for security training. Professional, informative and cost effective if you can get government support (which is easy). The teacher Jason was an experienced teacher and security officer and was willing to share his experiences in the industry which really helped. He also kept the training interesting and dynamic throughout and we had a good laugh right the way through.

Did the triennial security renewal here. First Aid, CPR, Security Refresher.
Sabine did the first aid and was really engaging, informative, knowledgeable and friendly. Jason conducted the Refresher class and was the same.
Great value from the ATI and the facility has great resources for these classes. Would recommend.

Have been here the last 2 years for first aid and CPR. Always great training and I love that you can do the theory work beforehand so you’re not there all day! Great team will continue to come back and let others know about the courses 😊
