Review from a Class #037 Alumni. We are HONORED YOU CHOSE US!!!

I'm sure you've noticed by now, the reviews for Training Dev Group all share a common theme. "This place changed my life." I can promise you that every single one of these reviews are genuine, as is mine. This academy really did change my life, for the absolute better. Was it easy? NOPE. But I think that difficulty is a breath of fresh air in today's world of hand outs and participation trophies. If you are looking to really push yourself to your limits and achieve what you never thought possible, there is no better academy in the state of Texas to prepare you for getting into the fire service. The Chief Training Officer and owner, Tim Whetstone, is a right to the point, take no BS kind of man. He is also one of the most genuine, caring persons I have ever had the pleasure to meet. The instructors will push you to your absolute limits, both physically and mentally. But I have never met a group of instructors who cared more about the success and well-being of their students. At the end of the day, the results speak for themselves. I was a part of Class #037, and our class achieved a 100% pass rate on the TCFP state exam (the 6th class in a row to do so I might add). Clearly these guys are doing something right! My experience at Training Dev group was an unforgettable 2 weeks that I will miss dearly and never forget. I can promise you if you are serious about getting into the fire service you will not regret choosing this academy. When you do sign up, don't hesitate to reach out to me personally on slack (the chat app they set you up on for communication) with any questions you have, I'd be happy to tell you even more. THANK YOU CHIEF WHETSTONE AND EVERYONE AT TRAINING DEVELOPMENT GROUP!!
CLASS #037!!!
