Similar courses offered by other companies have a lot of fluff; Shockproof courses are robust and to the point.
The content is based on real world experience, and explains things in a way that makes it easy to follow and understand.
I feel that Shockproof offers more in depth training and exercises are similar to those faced in live loan requests.
