What We Do

Echo Services Group Inc. is a training school devoted to providing state-of-the-art instruction to serious students of two disciplines: Personal Defense and Maritime Security.

We accomplish that first mission by equipping service-members, first responders, and private citizens with simple but proven tools to keep themselves safe from crime and interpersonal violence. Our holistic approach trains our students to spot the threat, avoid the threat and, if necessary, deal with the threat – efficiently, effectively and within the law. Our curriculum includes firearms training as well as non-shooting courses for all experience levels. Class sizes are kept small, so everyone receives personalized, one-on-one instruction.

We make yachts, ships, and maritime professionals safer by providing United States Coast Guard and International Maritime Organization approved training in modern and effective maritime security. We train our students to asses, evaluate, and mitigate threats to vessels.Ā  In our classes, maritime professionals obtain the required training to satisfy modern maritime employers and advance their careers.

We are based in Southeast Florida, but with advance notice, we can arrange to conduct our classes almost anywhere in the continental United States. We are happy to discuss hosting arrangements your area to reduce expenses and travel time for local students. USCG approved courses require approval of your classroom space by the National Maritime Center. Firearms classes may be held on any existing range, property, farm, or ranch where a safe backstop exists, and local laws do not prohibit discharge of firearms.


I’m interested in personal security classes in South Florida.
