Protective Security Courses
In today’s ever-changing world, close protection is no longer about being a bodyguard: it’s about managing risk and bodyguarding with brains; it’s about avoiding danger instead of reacting to it. In these courses, you will learn to develop your capacity to think and act strategically by focusing on the latest ideas and practices in close protection. If you choose to complete all the courses and the required first aid component, upon successful completion and passing a written exam, you will be awarded the SIA (Security Industry Authority) Close Protection Licence.
These courses are tailored to those leaving the military service and looking to work in the UK and abroad in the field of close protection; those working in policing, military or civilian, (E.R.T.), military reservists, corporate security personnel who work for large companies who escort their executive team to overseas locations and private individuals who wish to upgrade their skills.
