Now, let’s take a look at the final countdown; this are the top 10 Security Guard Training Sites of 2012.
I’d just like to reemphasize; there was only a six-point gap between 10th place and first place. Also, in an attempt to balance the entire list, we made sure to include a nice variety — college sites, security guard companies, online courses, article sites, sites with blogs, and so on. Any time it seemed that the list was getting too skewed to one area or another, we artificially weighted websites of the missing categories, until one made the list.
This is why you see such a variety in the quantity of info., social presence, price of courses, and so forth, throughout the Top 50. We wanted to cater to all security-guard training needs.
So, are you ready to see the Top 10 of the Top 50?
Take a look, starting with Number 10 …
