"xxxxx & xxxxx from ESTS spent 10 days with our Security Team here in the Maldives at our resort. During their visit with us they identified various areas for improvement in our security team and conducted in-depth training with our guards. They were incredibly flexible with regards to the training and streamlined it so as to address the areas they needed to focus on. I would recommend their services to other resorts as the company is professional and deliver what they say they will." AC (Training Manager, Maldives)

With his tactical prowess – covering a variety of weapons systems, defensive and offensive small unit tactics, intelligence collation abilities – and calm yet capable approach, xxxxx enhanced our security teams ability to assist with RTI’s programming tempo despite ongoing security threats .....
