TESTIMONIALS

The following are extracts from letters and comments we have received, they are all related to the ISA Academy's close protection training course.

“ISA Academy’s close protection training is thorough and comprehensive. The teaching is aimed at adult humans with equal respect. What you put in, is what you get out. Coupled with superb instruction and instructor knowledge. Other courses may glorify and show close protection as a glamorous profession, ISA Academy shows the reality and gives the training to cope with that reality."

"Working as a close protection officer for the past years I didn't think nothing much about it, until I turned up on the ISA Academy's course. It really was an eye opener, making you think for yourself and use your natural instincts, which is something all the other 'bodyguard courses' never do."
