One of the best instructors, teachers, mentors I’ve had thus far in my life. So personable and real. He also keeps a comedic value to his lessons keeping everyone engaged and alert. 10/10 would take another course lead by him.
The training program I attended with Ryan Burke as the instructor was one of the best run programs I have participated in over the past several years. Ryan moves through a comprehensive lesson plan and multiple learning objectives with efficiency and effective use of discussion and real world examples and case scenarios. Ryan is dedicated to the security profession and maintaining high training standards and it shows in every aspect of his mentorship through this program. Excellent !
I had a great experience taking the course with Ryan Burker. He is a highly professional and patient instructor with extensive knowledge of the security field. He explains every topic clearly and simply, using real-world examples that help you better understand the material and prepare for actual work in the industry. Throughout the course, he was always willing to answer questions and ensure that every student grasped the information. His teaching style makes the classes engaging and easy to follow. I highly recommend Ryan Burker to anyone looking to obtain their security license or enhance their industry knowledge. It was an excellent learning experience, and I would certainly take another course with him.
what an amazing leader what an amazing man what an amazing brother Ryan took care of all of us. Make sure that we did what we have to do warning you’re not gonna hear what you wanna hear. You’re gonna hear what you need to hear. I came in in this class and I came out of different men. It been amazing and Experience definitely I will be back for my second class Reinberg, sir I admire you love your brother. Keep up the good work.
I recently completed my D License certification class with Ryan Burke as my instructor, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Ryan has a real gift for keeping the entire class engaged from start to finish. He breaks the material down in a way that’s easy to follow, so even the dense parts of the curriculum never felt overwhelming.
What really sets Ryan apart is his humor. He keeps the energy in the room up and makes the learning process genuinely enjoyable, all while staying sharp and professional. He’s the kind of instructor who knows the material cold and has just enough rough edges to make him memorable and command the attention his effort deserves. You can tell he actually cares about his students walking away prepared.
I’m a very satisfied student and already looking forward to my next class with Ryan. If you’re considering your D, G, CC License certifications, do yourself a favor and sign up with Ryan Burke

By far one of the best instructors out there. You can tell he truly cares about helping people succeed. I would absolutely recommend Ryan to anyone looking for security or firearms training.

My trainer was cool I enjoy him him would take class with him again Posted on Emm Collins Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan has been an exceptional instructor for a multitude of reasons. His larger than life personality and extensive knowledge genuinely shine through in every part of the class. He takes the time to walk you through each step of the process clearly and makes sure you understand not just what you’re doing, but why you’re doing it.
The thing that really sets him apart is his mindset toward learning. Even with his experience, he’s still constantly refining his approach and picking up new perspectives from everyone around him, from complete beginners to seasoned shooters alike. That willingness to keep evolving instead of acting like he already knows everything creates an environment that feels approachable, engaging, and professional all at once.
You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people improve and leave more confident than when they arrived. The whole experience felt less like I was sitting through a mandatory class and more like learning from someone who actually enjoys teaching the craft.
