Just completed the 'firearms competency course' in order to gain the necessary qualifications to work within the maritime industry. I can honestly say I learnt more today with various weapon systems than I did the 8 years I was in the corps And would feel fully competent in using any of the weapons if I was to come across them on any vessel. in my opinion this was solely down to the methodical approach the instructor (Nobby) taught us, his years of experience and vast knowledge of the weapon systems and the industry was hugely beneficial and would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to work within the maritime industry.

Mark Knowles, is very enthusiastic and with his background a very professional instructor. Covering a wide variety of weapon systems and getting to fire majority of them down the range. Showing us every component and stripping the weapon down for daily cleaning he covers everything and more to make sure you're confident. Power point is kept to a minimum, giving the students plenty of time for hands on. Mark covers everything, including personal experience and knowledge on the industry, every question answered. Lunch, refreshments and plenty of brews. A DVD also handed out at the end of the course to help familiarize yourself prior to any deployment. Top bloke, many thanks.

This was the 3rd course I have done with STS which says everything really, again excellent tuition both practical and theory. Nobby is just a fountain of knowledge when it comes to weapons and the maritime industry, some of it a bit scary at times especially some of the horror stories that he's heard over the years. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone looking to refresh their original course, however if your original course was with one of the many tin pot companies out there you might be in for a shock, it is quite intensive at times and at a fast pace but with the excellent tuition I'm sure you will be fine.

3 years out of the Army, this was a steep learning curve to say the least but with the top of the range instructor Nobby at the helm I can now say I'm competent on the varients covered. By the numbers, COCKER LOCKER SAFETY.

A very good course with a first rate instructor KNobby Clark.
fantastic to see the inclusion of a .22 version of the FNFAL, more relevant as many of the security companies use this weapon system.
From the 3 maritime firearms courses I have completed, STS hits more areas and training objectives and I consider this course the gold standard and will be attending the refresher next year.

The initial intelligence Briefing was very helpful in understanding the current Piracy situation in the Indian Ocean and West Africa - as well as the legal requirements expected of MSOs.
In regard to the Firearms training, there was a wide variety of weapons involved. I had suffered from some skill-fade over the last 12 months and Nobby's teaching really got me back to standard. The structure of the training was very logical and progressive throughout the day and simulated engagements on a ship well. The lessons given on weapon sights and marksmanship were also vital and clearly-delivered.
In summary, I really enjoyed the course today. I would strongly recommend this course for anyone in the Industry.

To say that Mark "Nobby" Knowles has extensive experience in his field would be a gross understatement, and of all the resources he has at his disposal, it is this expertise that makes this course such great value. I can honestly say, that I learned more about weapon handling in one day than I did in my entire 19 year career in the infantry. My usually average marksmanship was massively improved by the end of the course and left me with a renewed confidence in my abilities and my capacity to learn and apply new skills and ideas.
I would not only endorse Mark for his instructional abilities, but also his integrity, which ensures that only the highest possible standards are acceptable for the industry.
