Here are Comments left by BHTA Students Picked at Random from across the United States:
“I wanted to thank you for such a great class you held in Philadelphia. I’ve had the opportunity to be in Police Academy. I also taken my Pennsylvania Act 235 class have have several certifications in self-defense. I can actually say that those classes didn’t top yours. Your class was more hands on, and you put us in real life situations where we always didn’t win. The training tops any other training. When you leave the class you feel confident and more knowledgeable. I want to thank you and George for serving more than 30 years for taking these “DUMB-ASS’S” off the street and making it safer all over the U.S. for the men, women and children and your team. I am interested in your advanced classes and looking forward to working with your you and your team. I am interested in your advanced classes and looking forward to working more with you. You have inspired me and my buddy Oliver who also took your course, to try and put our own team together and become something great like you are. You’re a great motivator and a hell of a role model. I want to thank you again and can’t wait to actually work with you and George someday.”

“I was very pleased with the BHTA seminar with Scott Bernstein. It was an honor to have such a seasoned veteran of the industry teach us all he knows about Bounty Hunter/Bail Enforcement. I really liked how he pretty much read the whole manual aka the BHTA bible put together by Scott. It is very important to cover all aspects of Bounty Hunting including the history and the laws. And I find it easier to understand when reading it for yourself, while learning it. It was awesome.”
