I work for a competing Security Company. Our Corporate office is in Nashville so we are limited in office and training space. I was able to get all of my North Carolina and South Carolina Officers through the Piedmont training course. This is about 25-30 people total. Vincent Cardieri was the instructor. He delivered a strong class supported with years of job experience and classroom control to back it up. I did see a visible improvement in my officers awareness and attention to detail. The guard card classes definitely set a high standard for performance and expectations. I now use this Piedmont team for all of our Charlotte area needs.
