Training Philosophy

GSE offers a broad range of security training courses based out of its headquarters in Winchester, Virginia. Domestic and International Mobile Training Teams (MTTs) are also available to offer the same high level of training at your location.

Our philosophy of training is grounded in the practitioner-scholar model, emphasizing “learning by doing” while maintaining a solid classroom base. We are fully committed to the individual student, which is why we do not have a minimum class size for most of our classes.
