What students are saying…
“The course has been wonderful. Having the ability to take it at my leisure made it much simpler. I have learned a lot — I never would’ve thought that I would have so much fun learning in an internet classroom. What struck me first was that it was intriguing, and you drew me into the discussion as if I was actually in the classroom with everybody else.” —F.B., Victorville, CA
“I have earned my college degree through online classes, and this class is one of the best I have taken, online or in a classroom. The instructor presented the material with enthusiasm. He kept me involved and awake. Another thing I liked is that right from the beginning, he told me that this is a no-nonsense class and will be eight hours long.” —B.R., Coeur D’Alene, ID
“The presentation was highly informative and easy to understand. The ability of the instructor was evident in his confident demeanor and friendly personality with his students. I thought the videos were informative, as well as the PowerPoint slides. The presentation was very professional, and the interactive sections of question-answer were particularly great — they allowed us to apply what we learned in practical applications. I appreciated the instructor’s enthusiasm and ability to convey information without losing interest himself — this is the sign of a great teacher. Thank you again for such a useful class.” —J.R., Long Beach, CA
“This course was very informative. Steve spoke clearly and concisely. He hit all the checks in the box. I've sat through many lectures and PowerPoint presentations, and none of them were as interesting as this one. Steve always spoke with confidence. He kept the audience engaged. I actually watched each of the videos multiple times, not because I enjoyed the material that much but because I wanted the information to stick. I have never been able to do that with any [previous] lecture or PowerPoint presentation. It was very easy to watch, easy to understand and explained everything in great detail. I had zero questions at the end of this course. I would definitely refer friends to this course. Thank you!” —R.T.F. San Jose, CA
“The classroom presentation was concise, informative and thorough. It’s obvious that Steve has this classroom lecture down.” —A.R., Glendale, CA
“The class is effective and straightforward. The instructor made clear what is important, not only for testing purposes but for the best performance of the job. The material was presented in a clear and concise manner, often using humor to make it interesting. The amount of respect and care proffered by the instructor was admirable. The material became more than memorizing for the test and more about saving lives. The course instills a strong sense of understanding and comprehension, which will reflect greatly on the job. The online nature of the course made it easier to work into inflexible schedules.” —J.M., Garden Grove, CA
“This class was excellent. Everything was easy to understand, to the point and easy to remember. Not only that, it kept you watching — the information was intriguing and it really caught me saying, ‘Wow!’ It made me realize that it was a good decision I’ve made for my life and future.” — Y.M., Los Alamitos, CA
“I thought very highly of the concept and the presentation. At first I didn’t quite know what to make of it, but as I watched and listened, it felt as though I was actually sitting in the classroom, which was great. I was expecting to do mostly reading and was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. I thought very highly of the class, learned quite a bit and would recommend it to anyone looking to get their guard card. Thank you.” — J.Y., Palm Desert, CA
“I found the class to be very good. The information, the subjects you covered and the way you presented it were great. It was easy to understand and straight to the point. I would highly recommend your class to anyone and would love to take more classes from you. Steve, you have many years of teaching and a gift for it, and it shows. I could learn a lot from you. The online class is a great idea. Don’t stop — it was great!” —B. L., Grapevine, TX
“I did not expect to be contacted by a person during the course. This is a very good thing, showing you care about your students’ work and knowledge. Whether it’s words of encouragement or just following along with the student, contacting your online student is a definite plus. Thank you for that.” —K.C., San Jose, CA
“This online course was very helpful for me. I am a disabled veteran and currently don’t drive. I am dealing with several issues, including moving, that would make it impossible to obtain my guard card [in a conventional classroom]. I was able to complete this course over a period of time that my changing schedule would not otherwise allow. I am also able to look over sections that I had questions about, to review where if I missed or did not understand something. In a [standard] eight-hour class, I would have been plain out of luck!” —L.C., Ventura, CA
“Your classroom format was very impressive. It was nice to see the group activities, where you stepped back and let your students interact with each other. I’m a very visual learner, so I found the PowerPoint presentation very helpful. It is obvious by your teaching methods and your emphasis on important information that you’ve been an educator for a while. I learned so much in your class that I feel like I was present in the room when you were doing your lecture. I’m usually the first to say that an online format is not as effective as face-to-face learning, but in this case you did a good job catering to both methods, which is rare.” —U.A., Cerritos, CA
“The training online was a great class. I think the lecture on counter-terrorism was a good touch. I don’t think we teach our young agents enough about it. Coming from a Marine with over twelve years of Marine Corps security-force training and four combat tours, great class! Thank you.” —N.F., Mesquite, TX
