Goes over all the information and the requirements of professional license exams for Fire, Burglar, and locksmith. It gives you a very good idea of what to study and what to expect.

Alex G

Very informative.

Ed M

as informative as it is, as a an on-demand class it does not seem to provide the best ways to find information in the reference material in an expedited manner to pass the exam in the time frame aloted.

Artur T

Overall I am verry happy with the course. Each subject was explained clearly and in much detail. Only option that I wish I had was to ask questions as I go, like the live students did - might make sense to add such option in the system. Also, the package may need to be reviewed for repetitive content - seemed like some classes had similar or same slides for certain subjects. Other than that, I am very satisfied, the knowledge I gained was definitely worth the time and money.

The information provided by these classes served to clarify many things that I was uncertain about. In all this class has improved my skills not just executing the tasks intended, but also explaining the tasks and duties required to achieve a successful result to others. I have no doubt that If everyone working in the security field took these courses, the companies that employed them would benefit greatly.
