15.   Outstanding job! 

16.   Coming in, I wasn’t really aware of the skills sets that we would be doing. I was hesitant at first. Probably overwhelmed is a better word. But day by day it got more understood, better aware, easy to “complete the mission”. Leaving now I’m excited what my department and city is open to and want to express my knowledge and skills the best way I know how…Because of you 10 members!

17.   I sincerely believe this course has improved my ability as a paramedic. It helped me think outside of the box and on my feet. 

18.   Some of the best training I’ve had in my 25 years in the service. 

19.   Great course. Thanks for the opportunity to train with you.

21.   This has been one of the most informative and educational classes I have been involved with. The intensity of hands on practicals should be replicated in all training. Great instructors with excellent info and enthusiasm. 

22.   I have taken many training courses since becoming a firefighter. These guys did the best job of any group! Took it professionally, efficiently, and still had fun. The information is important, relevant, up to date, and told in a way that was understandable. Very happy with the course, the boss, all the instructors, and the equipment. Thanks…even the graduation was awesome. 

23.   Excellent run. Great instruction and bringing it together. Very knowledgeable instructors with great experience. The best after school training I have had. Thank you. 

24.   Entire class was good! Wish that the class had pushed harder on the weak links. I felt military presence but not pushed to the limits. I did gain knowledge daily. Thank you. 

25.   More CQB? Weapon safety? I loved this class. Took a lot home with me. I would recommend to anyone. Great group of instructors, it was their personalities that made the whole class fun. Every team needs a guy like Omar. I had a blast! 

26.   Best training I have had in a long time for medical training. The instructors are VERY knowledgeable on what they teach. The instructors make sure the students learn and are able to retain the information taught to them. Everyone is awesome! Thank you. 

27.   I thought that the class was great!! I am going to take a lot of info back to my SWAT team. I will be very comfortable doing any treatment learned this week. Thank you!!! 

28.   Being a Marine, I thought this course simulated a tactical training environment perfectly. We were exposed to stress, CS gas, and chaos. This helps prepare medics for the real world danger we may face in the future. Best civilian training I’ve taken yet. 

29.   Loved class. Well put together. The practical was very informational.  By the way…no caffeine for Omar! 

30.   I really enjoyed the class, it’s been some of the best training I’ve had. The instructors have a wealth of knowledge beyond our scope. Thanks guys! 

31.   GREAT-fulfilled a needed educational void-Skill challenges EXCELLENT. Instructors, EXCELLENT! 

32.   Candidate selection needs to be stricter, but I know that is not your guys’ fault. Departments/Districts should be more selective on who they send through the course.

34.   One of the best classes I’ve ever taken. It’s rare to have to think under this kind of stress in training which was very beneficial. More time for certain skills would be nice, but it’s easy to understand that you have limited time and a lot to cover. 

35.   The class was well structured and organized, the content of the course exceeded expectations, content met/exceeded STARRS/EWGCG specifications. The instructors were experienced-real world experience-which gives them all credibility as instructors.  Force on force-Advanced classes should be funded for future classes. I have been in the service for 25 years and this is one of the finest training opportunities I have had. I appreciate the efforts of the instructors specifically-they make the class what it is!
