In my search for a new job, I was contemplating maybe getting my ACT235.
Does anyone have a recommendation on schools in western PA?
Ive done a search and there are a few schools in/around the Pittsburgh area, but I know nothing about them and if they're worth my time and money.
I appreciate the help!
Ricochet,
A few years back I looked at some ACT 235 schools in the S/W PA area. I am a former LEO and US Army Officer and I just wanted to add the 235 Certification to my resume. Two of my good friends are ACT 235 certified in this area - neither of the two schools that they got their certification from impressed me. Can't even remember the names of the schools now...
The school/organization that kind of caught my attention is up the road in McKean PA

I know its a drive, but I liked the instructor's training credentials (i.e. places he has trained at).
If your really interested I have a Police/Security Duty Rig for sale with a Level III right hand Holster that fits Glocks 19.23.17,22.A Full compliment of everything you will need,without the handcuffs or the O/C Spray ! Good Luck !
That would be perfect for me.Quote:

Thanks!
I don't know if you saw this list, but here it is.

I did Advanced Security & Law Enforcement Training (ASLET) and thought the instructor Garret Kimmell was decent - paact235.com The classes are in Irwin, so it's partly down your way. I've had the pleasure of being pepper sprayed AND tazed in Garret's classes. :)Quote:

Whoever publishes a list like that with phone numbers instead of Web links should be beaten with a wet noodle.Quote:

Not sure of the quality of their program though. Like all these places, have heard both good and bad anecdotes. I do know two friends that completed their class. If I recall, everything with the class, application to the state and the psych interview/sign off set them back between $700-800.Quote:
