Great
I booked my training through Hurak but I got my SIA training at Read Training. The trainers were awesome and I did got the required treatment and training as I was told. Their service was good and I would love to do my CCTV training with them in the future.
Abdiaziz was really well spoken and clear, made the training much easier for me
