SIA Close Protection Training Courses

To allow ample time to teach the broad range of skills required, the Close Protection course runs over 16 days and consists of three units:

1. Working in the Private Security Industry.
2. Working as a Close Protection Operative.
3. Conflict Management

In addition to the minimum course content required by the SIA, our course also includes the following elements (may incur additional costs):

• First Aid at Work + Defibrillator Training 
• Evasive Driving and/or Convoy Driving
• Introduction to Short Firearms
• Close Combat Training
• Anti Ambush Training
• Accommodation

Courses are packed with theory and practical activities to keep you engaged throughout the course. The training is intense and some exercises will finish late, therefore, candidates must be prepared for a demanding period of instruction. We intentionally make the course fast paced to fully prepare candidates for the reality of life as a Close Protection Operative.

We understand that examinations can be a daunting prospect but we assure you that there is no need to worry. Everything you need to know for the examination is covered in the Close Protection training course and your expert instructor will fully prepare you for success in the tests. Our pass rates are some of the highest in the business thanks to the highly experienced instructors and the quality of the training courses.
