They were easy to speak to and very courteous when dealing with interactions that consisted of one on ones and large groups. Their presence was known and hopefully I'll see them around at other future events.

The instructor was professional,polite,cheerful,clear in speaking,knowledable on subject matter. Offering his advice,expertise and experience about the training,the security industry and his personally opinions on subject matter. He wasn't found to be boring or lacking in his ability to keep your attention on the subject matter. He explained everything in detail with the extra's. He seemed passionate about making sure the students understood the courses and he gave discounts in other courses as well. The instructor also provided the students with job opening opportunities and said to use him as a referral source. For these I rate this security training school four stars. Excellent. Will recommend and I'm planning on taking up other courses in the future. Mr. Malik

I definitely raised my hand alot im a very vocal person and opinionated. So that was refreshing. He was cool and nice ordered us pizza for lunch not alot of places are nice or offer courses or even refreshments. So thank you Mr Elvis see yall next year ! :)

He was easy to follow, enthusiastic and entertaining. Great course! Great instructor! The facilities were very nice as well. We worked on very speedy and up-to-date Macs. All of the support staff we met were very friendly and helpful. I've been back at work using the training for over a month now and I couldn't be happier with the results and my experience at FMC.

The instructors were all top notch, the class sizes were small enough so the instructors could give each student personal attention if needed, everything I learned there was exactly what I wanted to learn, and directly applicable to what I was doing. Not only is the learning environment there excellent but so is the support staff that helps to facilitate that learning. There were a few times, because of work, that I had to change my schedule and the staff there were always helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I very highly recommend FMC to anyone who is seriously looking to improve their technical skills.

Especially when its good food. That Pizza is slamming. The classroom is kept very clean and presentable. This makes a world of difference. Trust me. You don't want to be stuck in a class trying to pay attention to your instructor and watching out for lil pest at the same time. Its not a good look. However, you won't have that problem here. They have a wide range of classes that covers most things security. You can be sure that the instructors will make the class interesting. In my experience, the instructor made the course more modern than previous places I'd been to. This was great. No one want to sit there and look at old material. But rest assured, their modern way of teaching and mix of jokes will have you feeling like your at a educational comedy show. All in all, it's a great experience.

When pressed for information, he gave only broad, non-specific answers that were of no help whatsoever. I thought I'd hire this quack to perform a polygraph test, so I asked him what kind of machine he uses. He said "The old fashioned pen and needle". So I asked him how old is the machine is, and he replied "Why does it matter how old it is?" I explained that polygraph machines have progressively improved dramatically over the years since the "old fashioned pen and needle" models, to which he replied "What's the big deal?". I abruptly ended the phone conversation and continued my search for a reputable polygraph examiner who welcomes such questions and answers them in a respectful manner.

My father and I recently completed the 16-hour firearm safety course. I must say that we had an…read moreoutstanding experience in the course and with International Security Services! Michael, our instructor, was patient, knowledgeable, humorous, and supportive. I appreciated Michael's professionalism, cool demeanor, and extensive knowledge of NYS firearm laws and safety. Our class was small--around 7 students, so Michael was able to give each student the attention that they needed to pass the course and understand the practical gun safety skills. The testing facility on 2625 86th Street was freshly renovated and had a clean, easily accessible bathroom. The chairs were a bit too small for me being a bigger guy, but that's ok and not a big issue, especially for smaller individuals. There are many restaurants nearby, so don't worry about the lack of places to eat! Michael kindly gave us plenty of breaks and always encouraged the class to have an "open discussion" about the topics, which I appreciated. The course syllabus thoroughly included firearm safety, NYS firearm usage laws, and the types of scenarios were one would and would not be able to legally use their licensed weapon. VERY IMPORTANT. Michael showed many videos of industry experts that explained critical firearm usage practices. Bottom line: a firearm is a tool of last resort, not a first one! Major takeaways: de-escalate, avoid, and retreat whenever possible! Don't be a hero, and don't ever use your weapon on an assailant that is walking away from you or a third party and no longer showing a threat! When you THINK you are are defending yourself, you may actual being usuing excessive force and in the wrong! What you believe is self-defense and an appropriate use of a firearm may not be legally defensible as self-defense. Consequently, one must be careful and understand that the response to ANY threat must be equal and proprotionate to that threat. Deadly force by means of a firearm should never or rarely be used. Michael expertly highlighted these key concepts in his lecture on the "force continuum." In terms of cost, the course was $300 dollars and worth every penny! The course had a mixture of novices--individuals that never held or fired a gun-- to advanced users. Therefore, novices should not feel embarrassed if they can't master all of the required skills in one class. Michael will help you; he is VERY patient. With experience and time, novices will become masters of how to safely handle a firearm. The course ended with a simulated, five-shot exercise on a training weapon. No live ammuntion is used for the safety of course participants. Having taken and passed the course, I feel that it is invaluable for gun owners. This course should be mandatory for all licensed gun owners in New York State, not just those who possess concealed carry licenses, but also premise pistol license holders too. Taking the course at International Security Services should be your number one choice. Eduard, the owner is friendly, business oriented, and made the course registration process easy for us. On day one, he bought pizza for the class. Great job, sir! My only critique-- albeit a minor one-- is that International Security Services should have uniform course printouts of key notes and takeaways for students to review. With time, memory tends to weaken, and key concepts may be forgotten. I also wish the other students luck in their careers as security professionals and (hopefully) licensed NYS gun owners. Perhaps in the future, NYS lawmakers or the NYPD should require a refresher course, either to be done online or onsite, after 5 or 10 years. In conclusion, a near flawless training and educational experience for gun owners. Overall, A+. Thank you, Eduard and Michael! You both did an exemplary job!
