Max Power helped me get through the course I would recommend him to my friends. Thank you.
This door supervisor course I did with Max power has developed my knowledge on security, first aid and health and safety was very beneficial. He made the week go by very fast and it was very engaging. I wasn’t expecting it to be this engaging but Max Power truly made it enjoyable. At first I did the course only to get a job and didn’t think I’d enjoy it but I actually did and really commend Max Power for his efforts in helping us and giving his all to make sure we pass and have fun in the week.
Max was honestly the best teacher I’ve had in all my life the experience and knowledge he passed onto us was exceptional. Made the class very enjoyable and showed extra care towards grey areas to make sure we up to standard.
Class of Max power, very efficient with his training techniques, learnt the topics very quickly, not a single day I can complain about. Good class and good brother.
My instructor max power made the class very enjoyable and easy to learn.give him a raise.
MAX WAS AMAZING GIVE HIM A RAISE!!!!! The course was amazing
Tony door supervisor course was a really instructor. Helped in everything and was calm and nice.
I started my course on 27/04/26. My instructor is Shaun Lyttleton & his shadow Esien Inyana. I must say I was so nervous when I attend the course Shaun & Esien looked after everyone in the class.
Shaun knowledge is on another level. He also is very good in getting the nerves away from his students. He made life easy for all his students. I enjoyed my week. Shaun made it very easy & made me believe I can pass if i put in the work & follow his instructions. Esien also has very good knowledge.
Thank you soo much Shaun & Esian keep up the good work.
I have really enjoyed my time on the course. Shaun lyttetoa taught me in Birmingham. His way of teaching and his knowledge is very helpful to learn all the skills you need to pass the course. Shaun also had esien inyama with him who is learning to become a trainer. He will make a great trainer one day.
Took my SIA licence with the team at Tyseley. One of the best experiences I've ever had. Shaun and Esien have been absolute legends. Would never have done this without them 💪
We had great week. Shaun was excellent teacher and very good demonstrate very helpful
My experience is great, it teach me how to be respectful, professional, speak calmly when addressing people and also it help me to make people and my environment safe always.
Will run lots of help from the instructors. Simon Leith and Souhail one of the best course I've been on
I wasn't looking forward to the course, but Simon Leith, ably accompanied by Sohail, made it interesting and informative. I learned a lot and enjoyed the experience, much of this being down to Simon's teaching style, knowledge and professionalism.
Simon Leith and Souhail Khourdifi were great, very helpful as trainers. Adapted that material for each learners needs. Made sure everything went smoothly and there was enough time to do all material.
As an experienced trainer, I was very impressed with Ozan’s teaching abilities. He explained the learning outcomes, was knowledgeable and answered questions when appropriate. As an ex-police officer I am skilled in handcuffing and prisoner detainment and conveyance but Ozan taught me new techniques which I will now be adopting on my courses. He was professional and enthusiastic throughout and a real credit to your company. I would recommend him and Get Licensed to anyone looking to begin a career in security, refreshing their licence or looking to add new skills to their CV. A really enjoyable couple of days! Thanks guys x
