Close Protection Training

Close Protection Training (Bodyguard training) and gaining a reputable qualification that is approved by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) is an essential requirement for individuals planning to work in the CP industry.  Along with this, individuals must also hold a recognised First Aid qualification. Employers of Close Protection operatives increasingly require individuals, as a pre-requisite, to hold an SIA (CP) licence and to have been trained by a reputable training provider.

The course combines both the practical skills and theoretical knowledge that underpin the success of any Close Protection Operative. The course encompasses the mandatory ‘guided learning hours’ required to become qualified. On successful completion candidates will be awarded the following:
