Extremely unprofessional, showed up 30-40 mins late seemingly agitated being unclear with directions and very verbally abusive among other things im not gonna argue back and forth on a review my point is this, if you have had a bad experience with this instructor call the USCCA who he is certified through at 1-800-674-9779 and file a complaint his instructor # is 2435431 I promise you they do not tolerate this type of non sense! Then file a complaint with the Illinois state police through their website you have to have this complaint notarized your bank will do that free or cheap most of the time. And also file a complaint with the IDFPR division of professional regulation as well!

Unprofessional!! The business phone is his personal work phone so if you have questions you have to wait days for a reply because he “teaching a class “ losing out on money and customers. Then have the nerve to make you pay for the class online and you can’t even talk to nobody before spending your money and the man have the nerve to text and be rude if you call more then once. Unprofessional need to hire a assistant to take calls like all the other security training places have.

Mike was a very great instructor. He broke things down so things wouldn't be hard to understand. He never makes you feel slow or like you cant do something. I recommend this class to anyone looking to join the security field. MIKE IS THE MAN TO TEACH YOU.
