Introduction to Bodyguard 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 bodyguard training providers. The Term Bodyguard under licensing requirements is known as Close Protection but the bodyguard training techniques taught are exactly the same.

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 bodyguard training qualifications to the higher education qualifications to meet the needs of the next licensable sector.

Bodyguard Training Course Breakdown

So what will you learn on the 16 day Corporate & Celebrity training course?

To make the learning progressive, we have split the SIA core competencies into manageable segments which follow the operational financial commitment made by our existing client base. (In other words working from 1 on 1, to full teams).

Threats

In this module you will cover advanced methods of conducting Risk & Vulnerability Assessments to Threat analysis and security design mythology. 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".

Personal Security

Personal Security is a module that looks at the bodyguard and principal alike and utilizes the SAFER system. You will develop skills in IT security, Home and Work security procedures for the bodyguard and client through client education.

Low Level Protection

This module is the heart of the course with roles and responsibilities of the bodyguard and the principals/practices of working as an individual bodyguard (personal body cover). It will also cover search awareness (person, vehicle & room, venue) and venue based security design and implementation.

Escort Section

This module through financial acceptance of the client develops the individual bodyguard to work within a team or with a personal escort section. Teamwork, communications and foot drills will be covered as well as operational planning and preparation. With the mode of transport covered you will also learn vehicle techniques.

Security Advance

This module concentrates on reconnaissance and route selection of routes, venues, meetings and all pre advance areas the principal may visit on a daily, short notice, special or specific visits. You will learn in detail the needs of prior planning and execution of detailed planning from a manager's view.

Conflict Management

Conflict management module covers Law and Legislation for operation in the UK and the use of force. You will develop your interpersonal and presentation skills through role play, so that you can conduct yourself in a corporate or celebrity environment. You will be exposed to common incidents and dilemmas to which you will have to deal with by use of communications and conflict management skills we will teach you.

Surveillance

The surveillance module contains the fundamentals of surveillance, counter and anti so that you understand the principals of conducting it so that you can avoid it and remain constant with your awareness drills whilst working within a team environment.

Protective Defence

Due to the fact that you are not legally allowed to carry firearms or weapons in the UK, you will be taught the revolutionary RAID system that is sweeping the country for its ability to render potential attackers defence less whilst keeping within the law and following the use of force system.

Live Final Exercise

Combined with the practical exercises and the use of live clients for the real training effect, CTR has developed an unparallel course to prepare you for future employment development and not just an operator's qualification.
