Frequently Asked Questions

This course is designed to enhance the VIP Protection Capabilities of Law Enforcement, Private Security and Military members. It is meant to build off an existing protective baseline in a specialized manner or create a foundation of success for those new to protection. 

Professional protectors looking to increase their capabilities, add to their portfolio and get a more focused specialty in VIP Protection should take this course. Building specific training in this manner can have serious career growth potential. We have also had many individuals use this course to help launch their Close Protection careers.

Employers looking to increase specific capabilities and raise the professional strength of their protection team should enroll as many members as possible. 

This course is also being used by many existing operational Close Protection agents to enhance their knowledge, get a different perspective and refresh their capability. 

Although this course is focused towards professional protectors it also creates an excellent opportunity for non-protectors with an interest or nexus to VIP Operations to get an advanced awareness surrounding Close Protection. This can have tremendous benefits to your capability and career potential. 

Yes, absolutely!

We recognize the value certificates provide in career success and documenting your growth journey. Once you are successful in part 1 you will get an Online Foundations Certificate. 

When you attend and are successful on the In-Person component (Part 2) you will receive our Specialist Level Certificate

That’s fantastic, but it’s generally not enough to meet the specific needs of VIP Protection. 

Most professional protectors employed in Law Enforcement, Private Security and the Military have an excellent baseline of general protection capabilities. Unfortunately when it comes to VIP Protection, that’s usually not enough to be successful. 

Close Protection requires much more specific knowledge and skills to manage the various different threats, nuances and organizational impact associated with VIP Operations. 

This course is designed to provide you with the fundamentals of Close Protection focused toward meeting specific objectives. In short we give you focused content towards being a specialist. Specializing sets you apart from those with general capabilities and will help lead to success in VIP Protection. 

This course will help you and other members of your team increase your success potential at multiple levels. It will have significant benefits for your employer, VIP clients and other stakeholders. 

Short Answer: No 

There are no guarantees in life and no program can promise you employment or career success. This course was designed by Close Protection agents who have worked in the field all over the world. These professionals are also seasoned trainers in a variety of disciplines. 

Every aspect of this course is designed to provide you with the most applicable content with the least amount of investment. All with the objective of helping you succeed. What you do with that is up to you. 

The main benefit of online courses is the ability for you to learn at your own pace, on your own schedule. You are therefore able to take as much or as little time as you like or need during Part 1. We recommend you try not to absorb everything in one sitting. Some have reported taking as little as 5 hours to complete the course, while others up to 10 or 12. 

The standard Part 2 program is 2 full training days in order to achieve a specialist designation. For custom courses we can conduct a 1 day workshop or longer days for more advanced content and further skills development. 

Part 1 Online

There are no pre-requisites or restrictions for part 1 – the Online component. 

  • Other than having an open mind and a willingness to learn. 

Part 2 In-Person

The In-Person component of this program is restricted to Private Security, Law Enforcement and Military members, with verified credentials.

  • Part 1 – The online Foundations course is a required pre-requisite for Part 2. 

Yes of Course!

You will get the greatest benefits from the program by attending both parts. However, we recognize that not everyone has the time or funds to attend our In-Person component. Don’t worry, you will still gain a ton of useful knowledge in the online course that you can start using to enhance your capabilities and help grow your career. 

When you are able to attend our In-Person course we will be very happy to have you. We look forward to meeting you in person and welcoming you into our network.
