Wonderful experience being trained by…

"Wonderful experience being trained by Ben McCarty. He knows his job very well. Give us the trainees opportunities to express ourselves, ask questions and respond to them accordingly. But he is sometimes too fast with words that some of us who are not English native speakers sometimes find it a little difficult to follow along. But he’s a great trainer."

Completed the DS Top up course with Get licensed and passed. Adame who trained us was great, very professional and down to earth guy. Even though he’s had various jobs and years of experience in security he just treats you like a equal, no better than anyone attitude which is good. Professional training by trainers who WANT you to pass not a back street company. Will be definitely back again for further training. Thank you.

The SIA compliant Level 3 BTEC Close Protection Operations Course is modelled on a combination of the UK Police National Protection Officers Course, UKSF PS1/2 and the Royal Military Police Close Protection Course. Focus is very much on the practical application of skills required to function in first world benign environments.

A close protection officer (often called a bodyguard) is a type of security guard or government law enforcement officer or soldier who protects a person or people — usually high-ranking public officials or officers, wealthy people, and celebrities — from danger, including theft, assault, kidnapping, assassination and harassment.

The aim of the SIA compliant Level 3 BTEC Close Protection Operations Course is to teach delegates all of the fundamentals of professional Close Protection Tactics, Techniques and Procedures to a suitable professional level, within the commercial environment constraints.

The kind of assessments you can expect to cover during the level 3 BTEC Close Protection Operations Course include: Self-discipline (control) and physical and mental fitness while also covering situation/ special awareness and. self-confidence. Other assessments also include intelligence, stability and maturity, high factor of self-motivation (commitment) and the ability to think as an individual and act as a team member.
