Can't wait to schedule more classes with them. Highly recommended to any and all who are interested in firearms courses. Smaller class mean more personal 1 on 1 time with these highly skilled instructors. I have tried some other training courses and much prefer my time here. I also feel like i got more out of the course by practicing with actual SWAT team members.

I have had some shooting experience in the past but never an actual training lesson. I learned how to handle a pistol with #1 safety and security. I learned how to marksman shoot, rapid shoot, load a magazine properly, how to clean a gun plus so much more! They also have some pretty great stories to share. I'm so glad we got to do this training. Definitely planning on taking more lessons in the near future. I left that class feeling way more confident and comfortable. Thank you guys so much.

You can tell he does this because he's passionate about it and doesn't bring ego into the equation. Whether you've been shooting for years or have never shot before, he treats everyone with the same respect and meets you where you're at. He makes the entire training completely unintimidating. Like any new experience, coming into the class we didn't know what to expect and were a little intimidated by all our "expectations", but within minutes all those fears were gone. Thank you Tim for such a wonderful experience. We will definetely be back for our renewal training and also plan on signing up for some one-on-one training, as well as having our kids take your class.

*DISCLOSURE* I am a competitor to STM…read more STM is one of the VERY few companies that I refer people to when I can't take on a particular client or don't have any openings for new employees. It's rare in this industry to find a company with respectable management, leaders, and employees. Even being a competitor, Larry has been a pleasure to work with and I know his company is top notch. If I were looking to hire security, STM would be my first stop.

As a current employee of STM, I see first hand the dedication STM puts into their employees to ensure that we are equipped, ready, and able to carry out our job duties and ensure the safety of the people and materials we are assigned to, wherever we are posted.

As for your satisfaction, I am attaching the receipts of courses I took from you or your associates. Multi-State CCW : Feb 23, 2020 Precision Rifle: May 14, 2022 Red Dot: May 21, 2022 CCW Renewal: Jan 21, 2023 Out of 4 classes I took, Red Dot and Precision Rifle were not even worth 1 star. And for both courses, I came with friend/s and all of them agreed to my statement. If you want I can ask them to leave a review too. As for your statement on refund, please feel free to do it. Venmo @desijedi or Zelle desijedi08@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Initial Review: Have taken 4 classes in last 5 years and quality has declined exponentially. What used to be awesome is now just a money making business with no emphasis on education or proper training. Will avoid going to Spartan/Fidel and I will suggest others to do the same. Don't be fooled by bunch of various course offerings, not worth the price at all.

Truly one of the best gun stores in the entire Bay Area. Extremely knowledgeable, approachable,…read morefriendly, and experienced staff who will help you. If you are brand new to the firearm world there is probably not a better place to start than this shop. If you are just looking to buy just go in there let them know or ask their opinions and in my experience they will help you get what you want if its within their ability to do so. If your looking for more they can easily direct you to staff who offer group and private lessons who can take a novice shooter and make you better in a couple hours and are very supportive throughout the process. I really hope that Manzano keeps going and can set the standard for all other shops to strive for.

The staff behind the counter are incredibly knowledgeable and more importantly, they're actual shooters with real experience. You can tell right away these guys live the lifestyle and know their gear inside and out, not just random internet keyboard warriors pretending to know what they're talking about. They take the time to answer questions, give honest advice, and make sure you leave confident in your purchase. No pressure, no ego, just solid people who care about their customers and the shooting community. Rare to find a shop with this level of professionalism and authenticity these days. Easily one of the best FFL experiences I've had. Highly recommend supporting this place. I've been coming back since they opened and the service has stayed consistent

He tried calling…read moreme from (310) 895-0066, then I called him back to let him know that I was trying to confirm the name of of the owner of a house for a restraining order. I told him I already went to the County Assessor's office, so I already have the name of the owners. My question was if he could confirm the name of the owner by cross-checking with the owner names as well the vehicle of this house owner since this person lives around the neighborhood. Mr. Brooks said gave me the flat fee of $250 to do what I asked. I paid him on May 2nd, and sent him an email at jcbitsc@yahoo.com with the address I was looking to confirm as well as the vehicle number. On May 9th, he emailed me a reply saying he confirmed the owners of the house -- Note: There was nothing else, save for his word. I replied asking if we can verify the ownership of the vehicle since the person living at the home (the person I see daily or majority of the time) is not confirmation that person is also the owner. Mr. Brooks said he'd get back to me. Meanwhile, the law film I was working with asks me during a conversation: Did you verify if this private investigator has a license? Me: No. May 16th, Juan Brooks emails me to say that he was out of town for business. May 20th, I email a reply saying I'm in the process of finding another private investigator since the law firm I was working with is trying to get my situation handled. I also noticed that Juan Brook's website (http://www.jcbitsc.com/) is no longer active. I went ahead looking for other private investigators on Yelp, verifying licenses, pricing, and I came across Verity Investigative Group who quoted $95 for everything I needed to do, and also confirmed that he would be able to do everything that day within the hour. He did. May 24th, I get an email from Juan Brooks that he'll have a full report the following week. I'm still waiting on that report. Meanwhile, I filed a dispute with my credit union...and plan on filing a complaint with the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.

Their officers were professional, courteous, and highly visible throughout the grounds. They handled interactions with the public respectfully, focused on de-escalation whenever possible, and maintained a strong security presence without being intrusive. Communication with event management was excellent, and their incident reports were detailed, timely, and thorough. Managing security for a large event requires professionalism, sound judgment, and attention to detail. AGE Security demonstrated all three. We appreciate their partnership and would confidently recommend Bryan and his team to any organization looking for reliable and professional security services.

Several of the residents in the neighborhood have had an altercation with the security because of their lack of professionalism and overstepping their boundaries. I called AGE security to file a formal complaint about the security's behavior, only to be hung up on when asked to speak to someone higher after Brian disregarded my complaint. Bottom line, this company was hired to make sure we have our parking pass placed in a visible place, and that is it. Our HOA has the rules in place for the residents, and this company oversteps them. I WOULD NOT recommend them at all, and I hope we change companies very soon to bring peace of mind back to the neighborhood

I enrolled in the Phlebotomy Technician program at Phlebotomy Plus in Brentwood and attended in…read moreApril-May 2026 before withdrawing. My experience had both positives and serious concerns. On the positive side, the enrollment process was straightforward and communication was initially responsive. However, once classes started, I experienced several issues that made it difficult to continue the program. Class structure was inconsistent, with late instructor arrivals even though class was scheduled to start at 8:30 AM. Break times were also often unusually long and varied from day to day, which reduced actual instructional time. I also had concerns about the learning environment and professionalism during training. At times, classroom management felt disorganized, and I did not feel the environment consistently reflected proper clinical training standards expected for a healthcare program. After withdrawing, there was also a dispute regarding remaining tuition charges, which added to my frustration with the overall experience. I believe students should be aware of these concerns before enrolling, especially if they are expecting structured, clinical-level instruction and strict professionalism.
