Student Testimonials

"I wanted more than just your average Class D License course. After searching online for the top rated schools in Florida, I made the decision to go with the S2 Institute...I highly recommend the S2 Institute to any one who wants a next level experience. I will definitely continue my training with much confidence that it will benefit my career."

Zachary Woodward

"Thanks for your efforts in teaching the Unarmed Basic Security Officer Course last month. I really appreciated your "real" experiences + insights into the profession. These are invaluable as an instructor + the information you gave is crucial to those coming into the private security arena."

Charles

"I highly recommend the S2 Institute course to anyone interested in obtaining a class D security license in the state of Florida, and becoming a security officer or private investigator...Thank you for a very enjoyable and educational experience."

C. Simonds

"It has been a true honor being a student in the D class. Thank you not only for your instruction and teaching on different important laws and procedures. For giving me knowledge on the pros and cons including dangers of this field, but for also sharing experiences that have impacted your life and others. I believe that I leave here prepared and ready to begin my life as a security officer able and ready to help and protect myself, and others in this field, and look forward to continuing my education."

M.C.

"My thoughts going into your class were baseline with what you could expect with 40 hours of state mandated training. Boy was I blown away! From our very first moments with you, I could tell our class would be interesting. From the very beginning, you took the class from a bunch of sleep deprived, groggy adults and lifted us up to attentive pupils with instant interaction and communication who were ready to begin learning the coursework."

C. Harding

"Being at the S2 institute was a great choice on my part. Not only were the instructors very knowledgeable, but also they were engaging and kept the entire class upbeat and paying attention. Where I expected someone to simply read information off of a slide for a dreadfully drawn out 40 hours of lecturing memorization and note taking, the instructors kept all the students involved, and were knowledgeable due to practice. I would HIGHLY recommend S2 to anyone interested in getting licensed for D - Class licensing or any course for that matter."

A. Essone

"The curriculum is well put together. The instructors were great to learn from, rivaling in teaching style and knowledge some of the professors I had in college."

C. Pollack

"I have a B.A. and an M.S. degree, and in my 6 years of university I never had a professor who was a better instructor than Jack. I was truly sorry when the course was over!"

S.F.
