Hi Paul
I've done this course (HECPO 1 month in January) and have no regrets. John, the director, and Monster are 2 ex Blades and seasoned operators in the Middle East. They run this course in a casual and professional way. Full of tips and very good advices to follow, really worth the price, I've enjoyed every minutes. The medical part was run by Derek, ex SAS as well, Anubis: really good and updated. If you are "switched on" and good to go (it's up to you mate, do your best and show your skills), they'll help you beyond your expectations, even after the last day of the course.
Tanya and Emma are helpful, do it you won't regret, my 2 cents, and if you do it, pass on my hello (from Olivier the French from Tunisia).
Good luck mate.
BTW, that got me a place in a Psd team in Iraq.

before spending your money...do you have operational experience military or civvy in Iraq/Afghanistan?
If not, Aegis or Armorgroup will not be interested and I believe most other companies are the same.

Good course...no after support regarding work as far as I am aware.

You will get nowhere with just the course alone and no middle East experience.

Havent done the course mate. Still unsure. Been looking at a course with Morrigan Solutions but I dont think they are registered with the ELC scheme so would cost me an extra grand or so.

Might well be taking over security at a large casino in Leeds for a couple of months so might well do one after that.
