It is a hard-to-resist combo: first-rate training with extremely helpful staff and community.” -  THOMAS LINDELL (National Sweden Police)

“Valencia is easily accessible for travelling. As for the staff and instructors, it was very easy for me to make arrangements and book periods for training. The facilities are very suitable for the conducted training, complete with classrooms, resting areas and a high-standard simulator. - PABLO SLAVIK (Dirección Provincial Gobierno de San Juan, Argentina)
