This is the second time I have been on the course and enjoyed it even more than the last .
The instruction that mark provides is second to none and you will leave forfilled and that your money has been spent wisely .
The facilities, equipment and weapons are well looked after .
I would highly recommend shooting training solution Ltd to anyone.
And his doesn't make a bad sandwich either .
Thanks

A professional and thorough course giving value for money and unrivalled instruction from Mark "Nobby" Knowles. This is a full on day of well grounded and practical instruction covering a review of current legislation, instruction on a number of different weapon systems found in the MARSEC industry and an afternoon of live firing in the indoor range. The course runs at a good tempo and "Nobby's" depth of knowledge and long experience mean that all pupils receive the best instruction and advice there is in the market today.
I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent course and STS to those who are looking to refresh their certificate and skills.

Great fun. Found the course very challenging as was my first time handling weapon systems of this type. Mark was very patient, especially when correcting mistakes and while I didn't expect to become an expert in 2 days I was very happy with the progress I made. well presented, probably the most interesting PowerPoint presentation I have ever seen. Will be looking to return with the aim of perfecting my drill techniques and insuring I am competent and safe when handling any weapon system. I am recommending Mark to anyone I know who is interested in shooting. Thanks again!

Even before I attended the refresher course I received the top rated service from such a professional. Mark provides good and clear instructions, setting the perfect environment and standards that reflects the high class quality of attending one of Mark's courses.

Good instruction, relaxed and a well run course, even after not touching weapons for a couple of years, Mark brings you up to speed quickly and safely.

Another good visit to Nobby at STS. The day was nice and relaxed but thoroughly professional throughout. Lots of practical work and hands-on with a large variety of weapons (all currently used by PMSC's so all relevant) and a whole afternoon on the range..... With a cheeky little competition shoot to finish the day off nicely. Tea and coffee on tap, a good lunch is provided and the facilities are excellent. If you arrive early then head into town as the costa coffee shop is open from 0700. Cheers Nobby, always a pleasure.

This Refresher provides a good balance of theory and practical work delivered in a friendly yet professional manner. The weapon drills taught give you the confidence to operate and fire a large variety of weapons and sighting systems safely. The instructor's knowledge is second to none providing a relaxed learning environment and an enjoyable overall experience.

Tailored, challenging, safe and highly professional, only what you would expect from instructors with the background that STS offer. I cannot recommend STS highly enough, I achieved more than I had hoped for, in an intense 2 days of one on one training, and will certainly be returning to enhance my skills in the future. Thanks to all at STS.

Diligence, Professionalism and Safety. Exactly what you need when receiving instruction with Weapons. This 2 day course was delivered in a relaxed manner but always with enough force to keep the pressure on advancing your level of skill and ability no matter what your previous experience. Extremely accurate knowledge on all areas of any weapon system is what you receive, which will always be backed up with personal experience coming from the highest of military backgrounds. STS provide outstanding facilities and resources in a discreet location leaving the only bit you have to concentrate on - learning. Rightly so, safety is paramount and you will leave with the full understanding that you have reached that required level. If you are not Safe this is definitely not an 'attendance' course but rest assured Nobby will do everything to coach you to a pass.
An excellent 2 full days, many many thanks,
See you soon. -!-

The course is delivered by a first rate instructor of impeccable pedigree and the highest standards. The delivery is interesting, thorough, fun and entertaining. After a few years out of the 'circuit' I badly needed some refresher, and could not have asked for better. I cannot recommend this highly enough to anyone.

My husband and I completed a bespoke course with Mark as we will soon be sailing round the world and be in unusual and potentially volatile countries or situations. As a complete novice I was surprised by the amount of information and skills that Mark was able to pass to us in the time we had with him. He is an excellent - and very patient and encouraging - instructor. I did not know what to expect but left the course encouraged, reassured and wanting to learn more - but only from Mark as I trust him completely.
If you had told me before the weekend that by Sunday afternoon I would understand the mechanisms and how to use the firearms that were covered I would never have believed it. It has given me a healthy dose of confidence and I will be back to learn more without a doubt.

Had a great day at the range, excellent instruction and an all round good familiarisation of the various weapons used in the maritime industry.
I would highly recommend this course, taught by a very experienced instructor with plenty of stories to tell to lighten the day up. Plus the sandwiches were an unexpected treat.
I would have no hesitation in reccomending this course and Mark to any of my colleagues or friends.
Many thanks.

I attended a one day bespoke firearms course with Nobby. He and the day were both outstanding. Nobby is a tremendous instructor and a tremendous individual. I thoroughly enjoyed both the course and his company. Nobby is happy to teach at the limit of his student's pace and appetite, packing such a lot into one day. I had a lot of fun and I learnt a huge amount in what was an exhausting and exhilarating day.
