I have been in the Security trade for 20 years, then the day came when I had to do a top-up course for the licence. I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect with my course, as I had built the experience on the job, but I was apprehensive about going back on the book and studying. However, Nick has such a way of teaching that makes understanding very clear, and easy to comprehend for everyone in the room. It took his time with me due to the difficulties of understanding certain words, and I admire his patience and by explaining the skills by wording his experiences. All done by cracking couple of humorous moments, including the age of the twin sisters… I couldn’t miss these type of gems, therefore I was engaged all the time. Whatever the result will be, I have to thank him immensely for bringing me up to date with the top up course.
Thanks Nick, I hope your effort didn’t go to waste…

Has an innate ability for making some mundane subjects more interesting and holds his professionalism at the same time. Good teacher, nice chap and I'd be more than happy to recommend him to my contacts within the industry.

Nick Player is Legendary

Nick Player was such a pleasure to learn from. His knowledge on Close Protection is second to none and his teaching methods are world class. He was able to keep the whole class engaged and made the 20 day course seem like a walk in the park. He keeps it serious but fun while allowing us to absorb his wisdom from years in the field. Being the only northerner on the course u was a bit skeptical on my arrival but he made me welcome and at home. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in learning Close Protection and studying under the legend that is Mr Nick Player 👌🏼

Nick Player was an incredible instructor during the close protection course. Your teaching style made complex concepts easy to understand, and your real-world examples really brought the material to life. I appreciate the effort you put into making sure we not only learned the theory but also how to apply it practically. Thank you for your dedication and for being such an inspiring instructor!

Great Instructor

Having taught a lot in the Military, I know how hard it is to make certain topics sexy and entertaining. Nick was able to adapt his training to each individual, involving many real life examples which brought the training to life. I would highly recommend attending any of Nick’s courses, very knowledgeable and most importantly very likeable and respectful.

Best of the best

Nick was simply a breath of fresh air. I couldn't tell you how many courses I've sat over the years, that was just painful. Nick is highly qualified, happy to help and repeat, reads the room very well and knows exactly when breaks are required and most importantly makes the whole course relevant. Nick breaks down each topic so it can be understood from all parties and angels and everything is delivered in simple terms. He made the CP top-up enjoyable, I'm already spreading the word and looking at dates to book further courses with Nick. Was a real pleasure to meet a great group of passionate professionals and a trainer who is clearly conducting his classes in a modern and realistic fashion. Great job 👍🏼

CP top-up training - highly recommend

The CP top-up training conducted by Nick Player was exceptional. Nick was incredibly professional, super friendly, and made me feel comfortable right from the start. His engaging interaction with the group and use of real-life scenarios from his extensive experience made the course content much easier to understand and apply. The training centre facilities were also excellent. I highly recommend this course and Nick as a trainer!

Being a woman and coming from a completely different background with no Security experience I was abit apprehensive about what to expect with my Full close protection course .
I was recommended this course through another company as they had spoke very highly of Nick so I booked up !
Nick has such a great way of teaching you so that you understand clearly , making sure every single member of the class is on the same page and understands too .
He is very patient and brings a skill of balancing work with humour so you are constantly engaged . I couldn't rate him enough . To me he made the course and I would highly recommend to learn from the best if you are looking at Close Protection . Thanks Nick
