Security Defence Academy

Easy to access location in the centre of Stockton on main transport routes and with ample close parking (paid) or free a short walk away. Good venue with Training room, separate area for assessment and a small tea room with seating area. Experienced trainers who take account of prior learning and tailor training appropriately as well as providing real life experiences and anecdotes to support learning. Certainly not an 'off the shelf' package.

done my sia course at sdg and i couldnt be happier with the staff stu and anthony were a pleasure to be taught by and helped me massively throughout the course would highly highly recommend to anyone well done sdg

For me, it was a great time learning into the security industry This program balanced theory with practical, hands-on simulations that felt very realistic. The facilitator and tutor Mr. Anthony was professional, and took out time to explain every slide. The training in the PHYSICAL INTERVENTION was exceptional, preparing me for the real world. I was taught that, "it wasn't just about getting the license, it was earning it, working for it". I was fully prepared for my exams and confident in my ability to handle conflict management on the job. I'd highly recommended for anyone looking to enter the security industry or top up their skills

I’ve completed several courses over the last six years, including two EFAW courses, a DS course, and a DS refresher. Every experience has been excellent — the training is well-delivered, and the staff are always incredibly supportive and professional. I’ve learned a lot each time and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality training and great support throughout.

Did the DS refresher course and was a bit of a last minute rush but the staff were accommodating and helpful. Once on the course it was much better than ones have done previously having been in the industry since 2012 great banter but knowledgeable and experienced trainers who were extremely helpful Highly recommend SDG Cheers all Ste Wood
