My boyfriend took the level 2 class and it went well , then he said the instructor that was teaching the class asked them if they wanted to do a level 3 class and if they didn’t have the money right then he would helped them out and get the money from them later when they got the job . So my boyfriend took his offer had gotten the materials that he said that he would needed .he came to class every day . Finished it. The instructor said he had his own company and would help put my boyfriend get on to his company so he could pay his class off. So my boyfriend did have his interview. Haven’t heard from the instructor since . It’s been 2 weeks now . My thing is if you going to say you going to help someone actually mean what you say . We had wasted time and gas on nothing . Based on someone word . That isn’t cool at all !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Was Training That Could Save Your Life Dallas Security Academy completely changed the way I look at security training. Level IV Defensive Tactics was not just about showing up, checking a box, or earning another qualification. We physically did the work. The instructors created real-life scenarios in a controlled training environment that challenged us to think, react, communicate, and make decisions under pressure. It was an experience unlike any security training I’ve had before. What impacted me most was the reminder that just because I may work a post that feels routine or have a position where I don’t encounter danger every day, complacency cannot become part of the job. Whether I’m working at a site that requires me to carry a firearm or interacting with the public, anything can happen at any moment—and we must be prepared mentally, physically, and tactically. This training didn’t just prepare me to qualify; it reminded me why we train in the first place: to go home safely, protect the people we’re responsible for, and respond appropriately when the unexpected happens. I highly recommend Dallas Security Academy to security professionals who want more than a certificate. If you want training that makes you think, move, respond, and actually apply what you’ve learned, this is the place. Thank you, Jeremy Washington and Dallas Security Academy, for raising the standard of what security training should look like. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an outstanding experience at Dallas Security Academy. The professionalism of the entire staff was evident from the moment I walked in, and the quality of instruction exceeded my expectations. A special thank you to my instructor, Diamonte, whose knowledge of the private security industry was exceptional. He didn’t just teach the material to help us pass the course—he made sure we understood how it applies in real-world situations. His ability to explain complex topics clearly, answer every question thoroughly, and share practical experience made the training both engaging and valuable. If you’re looking for quality security training in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, I highly recommend Dallas Security Academy. Whether you’re just starting your career or advancing your certifications, you’ll receive professional instruction from people who genuinely care about your success. I would confidently recommend this academy to anyone looking for top-tier security training.

Very nice people here. I recommend to anyone getting level 3 or 4 security license or LTC. They make it simple and informative, and also help you with any of your needs while there.
