Close Protection Training

UK requirements for close protection have been increasing and we are seeing increasing demand for close protection training. As we outline on our close protection services page, we do not believe in heavy handed bodyguards, who often attract attention rather than deflect it.

Our close protection training reflects this: training operatives to understand the importance of risk assessments, route or event planning, venue screening and contingency preparation. With police and military experience, our trainers offer professionalism and discretion as well as operational expertise in close protection.
