A few words from our clients

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

This group was fabulous at their training. They have a reactive & survivor mindset instead of a victim mindset. They use blunt honesty that is needed and appreciated in these types do scenarios. They also utilize hands on training and break out groups so that you walk away with actual practice of what to do & how to do it. Every school district should use this training & do yearly refreshers.
Holly Bearden
Over my career, I've done a lot of active shooter trainings, with three separate universities spanning nearly 20 years. This is by far the very best training - with more chance of success/survival than any of the others. I would definitely recommend you take this option for changing your perspective of something nobody wants to have happen but could happen anytime/anywhere.
Nell Kennedy
Taking this class with my coworkers was fun and very educational so I appreciate the eye opening and engaging knowledge with afew laughs along the way. The knowledge was not only educational but very informative and has definitely open my eyes to start being more aware of my surroundings, vigilant, and always have not only one option but multiple. Thank You
Delsie Jackson
This was the most important lesson my two 1st graders needed to hear this school year and be reminded through out the year's. This program is a fantastic start and informative step in educating partnership with the parents to educate and support students and school faculty in making the best decision possible in a school intruder situation and empower them to not sit and hide, but to get out and run away, fight, and think of how to stay alive. My 1st grader came home after the training day telling me if a bad person was at school "he was going to be Batman".
Angela Benfield
Very informative and insightful training. Any business owner should contact them and consider giving your employees an option in case they have to encounter their worst possible scenario. Priceless. Truly enjoyed the refresher course. Thanks guys.
Gabriel Dabney
More schools should have this training. My middle schoolers teachers got this training this year and for the first time, she came home after an intruder drill saying she felt empowered instead of afraid! Highly recommended!! Thankful to be in a district that recognizes the importance of this training!
Bonnie Killen
I learned so much at our Active Shooter training today. It was informative and empowering. The hands-on experience of applying a tourniquet, packing a wound, and "dis-arming" a "shooter" was extremely helpful. I feel that anyone can benefit from this training. The trainers were skillful teachers who held my attention with active engagement. The 3 1/2-hour session passed very quickly, and I left the training feeling much more confident in my ability to recognize danger and to deal with any situation proactively. I highly recommend this training!
Bonnie Lisa PearmanKillen
Pro Active Respond training helps me and my wife understand more of what to do in an actual situation to save lives and our protections.The presentation was very informative. I hope we don’t have to experience the actual event but it surely give us basic knowledge for prevention. Thank you Fellowship Greenville for sending us to this training.
Carlos Briones
Excellent training! I learned a lot about how to help others and myself to survive. We must not be afraid to fight for what is rightfully ours!
Christi
