Fantastic experience: I just completed the Class D security training. Mr. Cruz was very knowledgeable on the subject and I felt that he was very thorough in explaining the material. Thank you, Cruz!
Fantastic experience: My name is Jackeline Soto and I would like to thank Mr. Ubaldo Cruz for a his help all his information I still got Monday left and more more course on Thursday but give yourself a pat on your back sir.
Fantastic experience: Ubaldo “Gunny” Cruz is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff! He is always willing to answer questions and makes sure you understand what he is teaching!
Negative experience: Ubaldo Gunny Cruz was a great instructor, but the customer service staff has been very dismissive when I reach out for help. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
Positive experience: 2nd security course I've taken, Had no problems with gunny. Was a very professional course and even had a few laughs. Passed the test with flying colors thanks to the security training group.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful communication before signing up. Mia was very attentive. Mr. Crux the instructor was very informative. Good course!
Fantastic experience: I Recently took the D-class Training Course with Mr. Cruz aka (gunny) he was very professional and positive during the intire course!! I will be recommending and returning for future courses
Fantastic experience: Great training!!
Positive experience: The course was very easy and the instructor gave all the information necessary, but I couldn’t help but notice his rude , condescending and unprofessional remarks. As an instructor he was making fun of students asking questions or asking for help(I’m not sure of the questions asked, I only heard the response) . He was telling students they are probably going to be the ones that fail the test and he can tell by the questions they ask. Some students join the class for the first time midway through the week and he’s rude about answering their questions , saying things like you should have read the manual before joining the class. He ask students to guess the answer to questions and when they are wrong he makes inconsiderate comments as if the students didn’t pay to learn. He needs a break or more self awareness
Fantastic experience: Honestly great class and very informative I did the online course with Cruz was a great teacher and made sure we understood everything I just did my test today and passed with a 167 out of 170
Fantastic experience: It was an easy class and even an easier test! The test only took me about 40 minutes and I missed five questions. Just take notes and listen to Cruz. He’s a good teacher and has W Rizz so you’re in good hands!
Fantastic experience: I loved the services that what they bring to the table and what they offer and a great security company as well.
Fantastic experience: Mr. Cruz and Mr. Steinman are vaults of knowledge and teach in a very candid, matter of fact way. I just passed their exam within 30 minutes, with 169/170 answers correct after coming into their course knowing next to nothing regarding the security field. I would highly recommend this company to anyone interested in the private security field. They are fast, efficient, reliable and convenient.
Fantastic experience: I took the D License class to obtain my license. Ubaldo Cruz was the instructor and his instruction, you will pass the exam easily. Very good experience and would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I'm glad I chose STG for my D and G courses. Both instructors were more than helpful and knowledgeable. The courses prepared me well for the exam. Thanks for your help Mr. Cruz and Mr. Steiman.
Negative experience: Hello this academy is bad not give good information descriminat because have scent voice spanish
Positive experience: Took the renewal class for my G license was told in the email to show up to the range 0745 that if you show up at 0800 you are late and we'll have to reschedule the range is currently closed it's 0800 and the instructor is still not showing up there's a line of about 30 cars here.
Negative experience: Please do not go into this classes because all the time they're full and you have to register before you go in there and you don't know if you going to be on the list or not plus those people don't want to hear your skills they're pretty nasty and rule they don't know how to talk or help anybody especially when someone is there to get their license and they're paying for it and also they lie on the location where they're supposed to be and they're not I went to one of them and they were closed and they never put it up or on the west side and then when I call they told me I could go to another one and they were really nasty and unprofessional
Fantastic experience: As a special interest Instructor myself, I well understand the demands on a teacher. Even more so when in this environment an Instructor is robbed of his classroom and forced into an online medium. Ubaldo "Gunny" Cruz more than rose to the challenge in the Security Officer "D" Course, delivering the required 40 hours with wit and a genuine and heartfelt interest in the subject matter. I would absolutely recommend this online course to anyone interested not only in the "D" license, but for those seeking to expand their knowledge of the way the streets work today. Thank you, "Gunny" Cruz, for making my week informative and memorable. If you're ever in the Seffner FL area, look us up at the Society of Martial Science Dojo and I'd be thrilled to spend some mat time with you.
Fantastic experience: Took both the D and G courses with STG. Virtual classroom and the Tampa Range. Very good instructors. Thanks to Ubaldo and Sean C. They were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks to both gentlemen.
Negative experience: I have had nothing but bad experience with this company, please save your time and money!! Go Else-Ware !! During my 40 hours course training I had 3 different instructor because the training server online had a-lot of technical issues. The instructors was very knowledgeable on the contrary. My other big mistake was to set up an appointment with them to do my fingerprints, and again another disappointment No Body Showed Up!! I was left waiting for an hour before somebody called me back to say nobody was going to be there. This place is a disaster!! If the company have an explanation, please I want to hear it.
Sorry Xeres. It was our first week using the online program. We were overloaded with students that crashed the server. It's running at 100% now. We also gave all our students massive discounts.
Negative experience: We were ginniepigs for the online course and every day there were multiple issues, it was a fight to be able to take the test, an even bigger fight to get my certificate, and because of doing it online instead of in person due to virus we had to pay again and then request a refund for the in person class. Which took 2 weeks and me contacting them 4 times to get someone to do it. When contacting support they would say "dont worry we will get it done today" for any issue but then u would have to contact mutiple times again to get them to do anything. The instructor was amazing and very knowledgable but the rest of the experience ruined it for me here. I Will be taking me g course somewhere else
Brandon, that was the first week we converted to an Online Platform. We made that transition rather quick because the Governor of Florida shut down classroom training because of COVID19 and the instructor told students they can wait until the following week since it was our first week and we were testing the online portal for the first time. As you said the instructor was amazing. Since that first class we have over 1000+ happy students and NO issue regarding the online platform. We even gave discounts to that class for the G course because on the tech issues the first week that we were testing to platform. If you want a discount for the G, feel free to contact us.
Fantastic experience: Good group of gentlemen and veterans teaching how to be a proper security officer.
