"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.

"Excellent Close Protection Course"

Having successfully completed the SIA Level 3 Close Protection Course with Black Onyx Academy I am confident to say that I would highly recommend them. They are extremely professional, they have a wealth of experience in the industry and the teaching methodology is second to none.
Thank you Mark, Carl, Daz & Andy for all you’ve done. Nothing but praise!

"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.

"FREC Level 3 Course "

I have just completed the FREC Level 3 with Black Onyx Academy and it was absolutely fantastic! The course instructor, Lee Brett is a phenomenal instructor and delivered the course perfectly! Lee’s background and hands on experience in this field means that any student taught by him is very fortunate indeed!
The course content was great and I learnt a lot from it, especially having been out of the military for 8+ years. If anyone is considering this course then DO IT!!! I promise you WILL NOT be disappointed!!! I very highly recommend this course!! The level of instruction is second to none!! Lee 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 3 quality students on my course so a special thanks to Tracy, Jamie & Dave it was a real pleasure to meet you guys and I had a great time on course with you all, especially the 5 oatcakes!! 🙈 Haha!

I’m back again on the 29th April on the CP Level 3 Cse which I’m really looking forward to already, can’t wait!

Finally, I’d like to close with a personal “Thank You” to Lee. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and your knowledge is second to none!! You’re a great guy and it was an absolute pleasure and privilege to be taught by you. You have my utmost respect and your experiences are truly mind blowing!!! I really appreciate your time and knowledge and I wish you all the best on your future adventures. Thank you very much. Best wishes, Chris.
