Close Protection Course (146 Hour)

This course is fully residential and is held close to the head office of the IBA UK.

Within the course is an education and the very best teaching in the following areas

  • Roles and Responsibilities of a Close Protection Operative.
  • Skills and Teamwork in Close Protection
  • Legislation, Communications and Conflict Management in Close Protection
  • Risk assessment, Operational Planning and Safe Route Selection
  • Surveillance, Reconnaissance, Incidents and Dilemmas
  • Techniques for Close Protection Operatives
  • The components that make up a threat: Capability and Intent

Each of the above topics will be covered in great depth over the duration of the 3 weeks. The course is split between classroom based and practical sessions. The coursework is designed to give you the best education enabling you to progress into a professional Bodyguard.

Our courses are 3 weeks of learning. There is a difference between teaching and learning. In the world of close protection, cramming 18 hours of training in per day with sleep deprivation on top is not conducive with good learning.

Not only is this course designed to develop a student's skillsets, we concentrate on developing the student themselves and therefore protecting them.

During the course you will be assessed on the above areas and complete the minimum of 146 hours learning required by the SIA. You must also fulfil the requirements of all units, including physical skills assessments. On the last day you will sit the Edexcel BTEC Level 3 exam.

On completion of the required hours and units, along with passing the exam, will enable you to apply for your SIA CPO licence.

The course is fully residential with 3 meals a day. The course will be held in one of two locations depending on the number of people attending.
