What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

SIA-related instruction in Glasgow is what this provider delivers, and the feedback from attendees concentrates on how clearly the syllabus is conveyed and how well candidates are prepared for assessment and employment. Those who took courses report that explanations are lucid, that the material genuinely mirrors current sector practice, and that the trainers bring live operational experience to the room. Daniel McIntyre is singled out regularly for breaking down complex topics, putting nervous candidates at ease, and illustrating theory with real examples.

The physical intervention module and the first aid certificate receive specific praise, as does the deliberately small group size, which allows closer one-to-one support. The mood is described as professional yet relaxed, with hands-on exercises cementing what has been taught. People who completed door supervisor programmes, refresher top-ups or initial badge courses say they emerged ready for exams and more confident about working in the field. Responsive customer service, straightforward enrolment information and a grounded teaching manner recur across the accounts, and numerous participants state they intend to return when further certification falls due.

My SIA SECURITY COURSE was a joy learned so much more than I thought and the trainer made it so much easier to understand would definitely refer anyone to core security to obtain the qualifications need to get started in the security industry

Very professional good atmosphere with plenty of practical. Aswell as instructors with a current background in the industry. All in all a very good course with all content of the course up to date and delivered to a high standard.

Great course, explaining and teaching you many useful and handy tips when dealing with the public at events like sports or music venues. Daniel is a very good teacher to learn from and gives you plenty of encouragement along the way. The literature given for each of the 4 areas of learning were very good and straight to the point and if you read them properly they will help you in your examination. Unfortunately I failed on the last one, but after reading the guide from cover to cover, I passed with flying colours on my resit. If you are looking to get into stewarding and want to be more involved then I'd highly recommend Core Training.

Well run course with an experienced instructor providing clear information to be able to work in the Security Industry. Daniel was clear in his instruction backed up with loads of experience. Would recommend to any business or individuals looking to utilise his skills and knowledge.

down to earth approach, professional level course and left with an embodied knowledge of everything needed to step into the field with confidence. Can't recommend Daniel at Core Security and Training enough!
