Introduction to Close Protection Training
With the new legislation licensing the security sectors, the SIA from the 20th March 2006 has implemented the close protection (bodyguard) license. This new legislative requirement was developed by the SIA steering Committee to develop the National Occupational Standards which are in force today and being taught by Close Protection training providers.
CTR Services has created this course aimed at developing a management level of advanced working towards the next step, by developing the Foundation Degree (FD) in Protective Security Management, to bridge the gap from Level 3 Close Protection training qualifications to the higher education qualifications to meet the needs of the next licensable sector.

This Close Protection training course was designed by CTR Services Ltd to cater for the demand from our UK clients. We are endorsed by Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College under contractual agreement to conduct the Security Industry Authority (SIA) 150 hour Short Course.

(In other words working from 1 on 1, to full teams).

The module is started by understanding the range of threats you will encounter within corporate and celebrity environments and takes you through the progressive steps to finally develop a security plan. “Unless you can identify the threat? How can you protect against it”.
