**IMPORTANT: please note that Core & Professional Hours will NOT be counted as completing Firearm Continuing Education Hours.
I felt that the course was well written and very relevant to the security officer profession.
Defencify course was easy to follow and very informative. Recommeded to all that need to renew their security license.
I was able to do my studies at my own pace, at my workplace (so I was effectively paid for training). All good.
Defencify bundle is still loaded with glitches causing unwanted interruptions and frustration.
Given the ever-more expensive nature of the platform I believe I'll seek out a different venue for my future training.
