What Our Students Say?
It does the job of getting you an ELS Certificate, but it's done on the cheap in premises that consist of a couple of small rooms above a hairdressers, which get extremely hot. I believe the provider to be a fly by night company as they've since changed their venue to another temporary address.
I recently completed the SIA Door Supervisor training course with ArchPoint and I can honestly say it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The course was well-structured, easy to follow, and delivered in a very professional yet approachable manner.
