[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1811699, member: 24428"] The issue was the quality of the instruction vs the length & quantity of class time you get for your money. The vo-tech courses I took were all taught by retired police officers & long time PIs [usually retired LEO's] with 20+ yrs of experience. Several brought in guest speakers who also had yrs of experience so we could ask questions while on breaks. Whether or not you decide to actually get a license to become a security guard or PI...the experience at a cheaper priced vo-techs is certainly not in any way less instructional than what you guys are gettng at a higher price for a less amount of time in your $60 / 3 hour classes. It is much more intense, because it is CLEET certified training that requires the students to be tested on specific details and they must score at least a 85% to pass the course. And that instruction can be used as part of any continuing education requirements. If you were to apply for a security job or for on-the-job credit toward continuing training in any law enforcement field... your $60 class wouldn't be of any value... the vo-tech course on the other hand would be CLEET approved and recognized by colleges. I used my CLEET certified training for credit that allowed me to CLEP test for and obtain 12 college hours towards my degree. Try that with you higher priced $60 non-CLEET aproved classes. You can take low-cost certification classes in the use of pepper spray, batons, handcuffs, tasers... I just don't understand why a person would spend a lot of money on a non-certified class.... when they could go take a night time vo-tech class where they would get a state recognized certification cheaper.
