Testimonials

Executive Office Manager, Ross & Cromarty Enterprise (RACE)
"I will certainly recommend this type of training to others as I feel that if the worst did happen and I was attacked, I realise that I am capable of defending myself in a way that I couldn't have before."

Senior Housing Officer, The Highland Council
"I would highly recommend both the training and Alan Bell to any organisation which deals with customers who, may at times, show signs of aggression."

Community Safety Officer, Northern Constabulary
"Personal Safety in any form is a worthwhile initiative and the support and eagerness to become involved shown by Mr Bell is refreshing."

Officer Commanding, 2405 (Dingwall) Squadron & 2405 (Wester Ross) Squadron - detached flight, Gairloch
"Mr Alan Bell has been responsible on a number of occasions for instruction to cadets of 2405 Squadron in the following subjects - Personal Safety & Awareness Training, Basic Self Defence Techniques and Security & Suspect Bomb Awareness. This training has been of great benefit to both cadets and staff .... and is not only useful to us at our Squadron premises but is also put into practice in connection with the large number of community and public events we attend throughout our cadet year."

Refuge Co-ordinator, Inverness-shire Women's Aid
"The classes Mr Bell is offering cover a wide range of topics which we believe will be very much to the advantage of the vulnerable group of women we support, both in their domestic lives and in public. These will, of course, also be invaluable to females in general and particularly to 16 year olds and over, who may be leaving home to live in other areas of the country."

Chairman, The Institute of Advanced Motorists - Ross & Cromarty Group
"The general opinion of Alan's talk on Personal Security was that it was worthwhile, challenging and exceptionally well presented. The talk was given in a very professional and efficient manner. Well balanced between the serious and the less serious side of this subject. Alan obviously knew his subject thoroughly and had prepared the structure of the talk with much thought and care. I myself was encouraged and challenged by what he said, the subjects he presented, and the need to review my own personal safety."

Investors In People (IIP) Advisor, Ross & Cromarty Enterprise (RACE)
"Alan Bell is a great trainer who really knows his stuff. He makes you feel like you can hurt an attacker and get away - you don't have to be the one that gets hurt. Actually practising the 'theory' has given me greater confidence in my ability to deter an attacker."

Crime Prevention Design Advisor, Metropolitan Police
"I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Bell as a trainer for any future Personal Safety training courses."

Senior Aircrafts Woman, RAF Lossiemouth
"The most beneficial parts of the course were the voice control and how to defend yourself if knocked to the ground. I did not realise how effective the technique was and it has given me more confidence."

Development Manager, Ross & Cromarty Enterprise (RACE)
"I enjoyed the event and feel more confident about what I can & can't do to defend myself. Alan was excellent with the right approach."

Refuge Worker, Ross-shire Women's Aid
"Such a course is invaluable to our women not only from the practical point of being better able to defend themselves but also from an emotional stand in helping to build self esteem and confidence."

Acting Senior Housing Officer, The Highland Council - Housing Service
"I found all of the course beneficial. I liked the simplicity of the self defence moves giving maximum effect. Also found the practice movements beneficial."

Youth Worker, Alness New Community Schools (ANCS)
"Alan Bell has an excellent knowledge of this subject and an excellent approach & manner. The course was taught very well and I found the whole class very good."

Advice & Information Officer, Ross & Cromarty Enterprise (RACE)
"I thoroughly enjoyed the session. The trainers made what is a serious subject enjoyable, interesting and informative. It made you think about things you normally put to the back of your mind."
