Training Testimonials



New - I would like to thank you for the exceptional training session that you conducted last week
titled DCJS Approved Alternate Instructor Development Course. You provided the
information in an easy to understand format that allowed for the immediate transfer of
knowledge.

Being a professional technical trainer myself, I understand the many difficulties associated
with delivering critical content, and in my opinion your facilitation style is both dynamic and
engaging in every respect!

Thank you for providing an excellent training experience and I look forward to additional
training and mutually beneficial development and business partnering opportunities with
Golden Seal Enterprises, as well.

Yours truly,

New - Just wanted to tell you that the FID was an EXCELLENT class. In my opinion, for what it's worth, this offering is very well structured and very nicely done.

I truly enjoyed it. Thanks to you all at GSE.

Extremely impressive.

VA DCJS Approved Alternate Firearms Instructor Course

I appreciated the small comments. I also felt that being taught by Frank elevated my level of professionalism as well as inspired me to conduct myself in a more serious manner. I know these comments do not reflect the course material but I feel like I walked away with a more focused agenda as far as my career goals and that was far more impressive than learning to be an instructor.

This was my first instructor course for DCJS, however I have been to an FAA course. I thought this was most directional and informative course I've ever taken.

Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the programs that I attended the last couple of weeks at GSE.  The facilities are very good and the cooperation on registration and payment, the instructors and the overall programs were excellent.

My thanks to you all for making these programs available even when the class registration was small.  The overall experience was excellent and your efforts are greatly appreciated!

I look forward to attending future classes and I certainly intend to share my experience with others.

Outstanding!! The first time the idea and concept of a lesson plan has really clicked for me.

Best part of the course: The presentation of the outline and lesson plan. I enjoyed talking about the information that at first seemed so hard to put on paper.

Wow!! Head and shoulders above the competition. Would pay twice what you are asking. Quality instruction is almost non-existent out there (Richmond Area).

On creating a lesson plan: This has opened a whole new world for me and it was easy to understand/apply.

Frank,

I want to thank you for the excellent General Instructor Development Course. It was by far one of the best if not the best training experience I have ever had. The presentation and materials were well organized and made for a very effective learning experience. I walked away with a greater confidence in my own ability to organize and deliver a dynamic presentation, that is informative, relevant and meets clear objectives and delivers real, measurable standards. I would highly recommend GSE to anyone seeking quality instruction and look forward to attending more courses in the future.

Sincerely,

Hi Frank,

I'd like to say a few words about the past few days. Every time I take one of your classes, you surprise me. After the PPS class in May, I realized that you're one of the few instructors in this field (along with XXXXX and XXXXX) who has had real experience in addition to academic knowledge, who still works in the field, and who does not have a huge ego.

Again, in the General Instructor class, I was amazed by your expertise across so many different subject areas. The others were also impressed by how thorough, organized and precise you were. I really respected the way you analyzed each person and gave your critique. It didn't matter how well you knew them, you were honest.

I look forward to my next training with you.

Sincerely,
George

VA DCJS Approved Alternate General Instructor Development Course

Material was presented in an forthright manner that is conveyed with a certain ease indicating to me that the instructor is thoroughly familiar in practical application.

VA DCJS Approved Alternate General Instructor Development Course

Each topic/section of training is covered item by item and never is any aspect left unaddressed until all points of discussion are exhausted.

VA DCJS Approved Alternate General Instructor Development Course

The information followed a strategically perfect schedule that seemed only to increase as the course progressed.

VA DCJS Approved Alternate General Instructor Development Course

Compared to other courses, this course was more detail oriented and exact in the delivery of the material and what the expected outcomes of the course would be.

VA DCJS Approved AlternateGeneral Instructor Development Course

I learned the most in that process how to improve my personal skills as an instructor. It also demonstrated how quickly with practice, we can improve our skills and gave me the motivation to continue practicing and learning.

VA DCJS Approved Alternate General Instructor Development Course

It was impossible to discredit any aspect of this course.

VA DCJS Approved Alternate General Instructor Development Course

All instructors were outstanding. Very patient and instructive. I don’t shoot and I felt more than ready to shoot when we got to the range.

Outstanding M-9 and M-4 course! Excellent preparation for deployment to a combat zone.

Instructors were incredible! Patient and observant, I could never have done as well as I did without their help.

Dear Frank, Denny and Ron:

I just wanted to thank you again for such an excellent basic handgun course.  I knew from George's previous experience with GSE that the class would be top-notch, but I was nonetheless extremely impressed with the knowledge and masterful instruction.   I learned a great deal and I also felt that every single detail I learned was critical (safety, technical aspects, legal ramifications, marksmanship, etc.) 

I was a bit apprehensive prior to the class, not only because I was an absolute novice but also because I'm female.  While I was the only woman in the class, you all made me feel extremely comfortable and I felt that I was taken very seriously; I really appreciated this. 

I think perhaps one of the best testaments of the class is that guns and shooting -- something, which once frightened me -- has turned into something I actually enjoy  I'm very excited to continue to develop my handgun knowledge and training, and I look forward to coming back for the advanced handgun course.

Best regards,
Jennifer Boka

Hi Frank,

I wanted to thank you again for the excellent training and also give you an overview of the past several days.

As you know, I did XXXX's class three years ago, so I had some knowledge of the basics. My 17 years of experience in the protection field actually didn't help me much in your course and sometimes even confused me. This was actually helpful because my ego did need reminding that I have much more to learn. Like you said, everybody makes mistakes, but you just have to learn from them and try to not do it again.

When I returned home, XXXX from XXXX called me to ask about the training. I told him I thought GSE was much better for several reasons:

1) The Instructor's personal experience (including you) and the fact they still work on details is a huge plus.

2) One of the most important things is the limited number of students you accept. As a Martial Arts Instructor, I know that it is much better if my classes are full to make more money. However, from the students' perspective, the fewer there are, the more attention each individual gets.

3) The realistic nature of the exercises was the best part of the course. The Surveillance Detection and the final practical PPS exercise was amazingly realistic.

All in all, I had a great time, learned a lot and I will be back.

Thank you, Dennis and the whole GSE family for the past week.

Good Evening Sir,

I just heard from Angelo. He told me that he had a fantastic time, and learned a tremendous amount. He was most impressed with the quality of instruction. Again, thank you so much!

Sir,

Thanks again for the class last week. What a world of difference it made in my outlook on our situation here in MD.

Today was my first day back to work, and I'm already spreading the good news about G.S.E., and your philosophy of executive protective services. In fact, I'm planning on drafting a S.O.P. for our unit.

Thanks again Sir & Semper Fi!

Thank you again for allowing me to take part in the class. I learned
something new everyday. I am a firm believer that you can never have enough
training.

You have a system and delivery that is unlike other instructors I've had
before. You were extremely professional and always respectful. I not only
learned PPS knowledge but also how to be a much better instructor.

Thank you again,
Devin
