A massive thank you to both trainers, the students really enjoyed the course and learned a lot of valuable information, especially on how important safety is!!
I think the content of the course is perfect for young people coming into the industry and from my perspective for the students we take with no prior knowledge of the shooting world before enrolling at college, it’s a must!!
An excellent course taught by experienced and knowledgeable instructors. Would recommend to my colleagues.
