Over the last few years, the Get Licensed, UK security training network has grown to dominate the industry.
And for very good reason.
The convenience of being able to find every possible form of security training, anywhere in the country, and book via a single website or app, has proved to be hugely popular. Combine this with the reassurance that the standard of training provided by their expert partners, is vetted, and constantly assessed, to ensure excellence, and it is no wonder that Get Licensed has built up such an astonishing reputation, in a relatively short time. Add to this the fact that due to simple supply and demand, Get Licensed is able to provide this level of top-quality training at unbeatable prices, choosing Get Licensed is a no brainer.
I wanted to do some research into the figures behind the business, so I asked a few questions of their leadership team, the last time we had a “Teams” meeting. Apparently, the last time that anyone at Get Licensed had the time to sit down and look at the figures, well over 300,000 SIA licensed security professionals in the UK had been through the doors of their expert training partners. This was some time ago. I asked for the most recent figures and was told that nobody has checked. “It isn’t about impressive headline figures”, I was sternly reminded, “it is about producing highly trained and well qualified security officers, able to build successful careers in any sector of the UK security industry”. I couldn’t argue with that.
Largely due to this kind of thinking, Get Licensed has an outstanding reputation to maintain, which is reflected and fuelled by feedback from former students. Just take a look at the reviews on the big online forums, that led to these statistics:
- Trustpilot rating of: (Excellent) 4.8 out of 5 with over 21950 reviews.
- Google rating of: 4.8 out of 5 with over 3686 reviews.
- Facebook rating of: 4.9 out of 5 with over 27000 page followers.
