Nick Player - Security Instructor Reviews 38

I completed an 18-day Close Protection course yesterday with Nick, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. Nick was not only highly professional but also very engaging. He managed to deliver complex material in a way that kept the entire class interested and motivated. His sense of humor lightened the atmosphere and made the learning process enjoyable, while still maintaining a high level of professionalism and focus. The course was thorough, informative, and practical, with real-world insights that made it both relevant and interesting. Highly recommend this course for anyone looking to get into close protection or enhance their skills!

Recently completed a CP top up course in Coventry - Nick was great, knowledgeable, supportive and delivered an engaging course

Had the chance to sit one of his CP training course. Atmosphere was enjoyable and great learning techniques and skill needed to get ahead. Definitely recommend taking a course with Nick

Nick is a great trainer, his enthusiasm and knowledge for the topics covered is second to none. I like all attendees on our course passed all aspects of our CPO course. Would recommend his service and will be returning for further training with him in the future!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Nick on a recent CP Top Up course run by Cobra UK. Nick is a subject knowledge expert and has written the course he presents unlike some trainers who simply deliver a course developed by someone else. He is engaging, animated and draws on the experiences of his learners.

I have no hesitation in recommending any of Nicks courses.

I had the pleasure of attending a close protection course instructed by Nick Player, and I can honestly say it was the best course I have ever attended. His ability to teach the subject and make it interesting, even the most tedious theory, is incredible. The course was impactful from start to finish, and Nick maintained the interest of all students throughout the course thanks to his extensive knowledge and expertise. He has a genuine passion for the industry, which makes him a cheerful and engaging teacher. He also truly cares about his students' success and ensures that everyone grasps the concepts, making sure none of us fall behind. I wholeheartedly recommend him and can confidently say that anyone choosing his courses will not regret it!

I was lucky enough to take a Close Protection Course where I was instructed by Nick Player. Nick is an excellent instructor making his courses both informative and also fun. Under his tutelage I expanded my learning and was able to develop new skills whilst unpacking core security principles and techniques that aid me in the Close Protection world. Nick is highly professional with many years of real world experience at the highest levels of operational security and Close Protection. I highly recommend any and all courses provided by him! 10/10

A very knowledgeable instructor with personal experience within the close protection arena (still heavily active as a CP Operative), Nick was very comprehensive and patient with his course delivery. He was very articulated, drew on several examples of real world scenarios (video footage examples of what one should/should not do in given situations) backed up by practical exercises. Given the wide spectrum of experience within the group, Nick easily managed to level the field and ensured all students grasped the concepts and assimilated the knowledge. Given my military background and having undertaken various training courses over the 20 plus years, I can wholeheartedly say it was the most enjoyable and delivered course without underrating all my previous instructors. I would undoubtedly highly recommend all potential candidates to be instructed by Nick.

Probably hands down the best instructor I have had the pleasure of having,
The work he puts in the his teaching a par to none to be honest.
Can not speak anymore higher of the man

Nick Player was not only professional and extremely insightful throughout my CPO Top Up Course, but provided an interactive yet easy to follow course. This course was such an enjoyable experience, it has inspired me to keep developing as a CPO in this industry. I’ve walked away with a new lease of passion and motivation.

Nick goes above and beyond to deliver a 5 star course. A wealth of knowledge and great sense of humour. Enjoyed every minute of it!

Nick Player clearly knows his stuff. He has an excellent way of making a dry subject interesting and entertaining. I was personally dreading this course as I was completely against it however, SIA demands it so no choice. Nick made it painless and enjoyable and he is an asset to the security industry. I have been in the industry for 20 years so have seen my fair share of courses. Nick is up there with the best and I can’t recommend him enough.
