If anyone is considering this course then DO IT…!! I promise you WILL NOT be disappointed!! Ido very highly recommend this course!! The level of instruction is second to none!! Dennis and Das is a true professional and captivates his audience when teaching. The pace of the course was perfect too. From the moment I walked in the building, the entire team at Black Onyx made me feel welcome and part of the team as it is a very much family environment. Everyone is friendly, approachable and makes you feel at ease and take the time out to speak to you as well as assist you with any questions throughout the course. A nice friendly environment!
I was very fortunate also to have 5 men of quality students on my course so a special thanks to Steve bati RAtu Kev and Robo

Great

I recently completed a Close Protection course and had a great experience. The instructors were highly experienced, professional, and explained everything clearly. The course balanced theory with realistic practical scenarios, which really built my confidence. Small class sizes meant plenty of hands-on training and personal feedback. I left feeling well-prepared and ready to work in the industry.Cheers Daz,Dennis,Matt n Steph 👍 🔥

Close Protection Course

I recently completed the full Close Protection course with Black Onyx. The staff were friendly, approachable, and highly professional, each bringing valuable real-world experience from within the industry. The course also includes the Door Supervisor qualification, which adds great value. The training location was easy to find, with ample parking and a great learning environment.

Level 2 Close Protection Top Up Course

I recently completed the Level 2 Close Protection top up course at Black Onyx Academy, and I must say the experience exceeded my expectations. The booking process was straightforward and hassle free. I was able to secure my spot with ease, thanks to their user-friendly website and clear instructions. The pre course materials were excellent, providing a solid foundation and ensuring I was well prepared for the training ahead.The delivery of the course was highly professional. The instructors were knowledgeable, engaging, and offered practical insights drawn from their extensive experience in the field. They created an interactive learning environment that encouraged questions and discussions, which enhanced the overall experience.I also appreciated the efficient administrative process. I received my certificate within a week, which was impressive. Additionally, I was promptly notified by the SIA that they had received my results, allowing me to apply for my license renewal without delay.Overall, I highly recommend Black Onyx Academy for anyone looking for a security training provider. The combination of excellent course materials, professional instruction, and efficient administration makes it a top choice in the industry.

CPO Course with Black Onyx Academy

On the 11th November, 2024 I started my journey with Black Onyx Academy. It is here that I undertook my journey to become a qualified Close Protection Operative. Firstly, I did an intensive First Aid Course (FREC 3) First Responeder and passed.Then on 18th November, 2024 I undertook my intensive 18 day CPO course. On arrival at the Academy all the team were welcoming, professional and very experienced in what they do and nothing was too much trouble. If you had a query or a problem with the course the team were only to happy to help you sort the problem out and their wealth of knowledge shone through. Well done and thank you to all the team Mark, Carl, Daz and Andy for your support.Keep up the brilliant work, you are all a credit to your profession and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone taking up this career.

Great course, professional set-up & brilliant instructors!

As a CPO and TL within the private security industry I was keen to find the best value course to top up my license. Black Oynx were recommended to me by a fellow CPO and I am very pleased I decided to go with this company. The pre course briefing was comprehensive and well organised, the course itself was very interesting and relevant with superb instructors. There was a good mix of experience within my training group which meant that all of the lads could learn from eachother. I would thoroughly recommend Black Onyx for any CPD and/or other security industry courses.
