Open Enrollment Dignitary Protection (4-Day)

By the end of this 4-day course, attendees who properly apply themselves will have the knowledge and skillset to capably operate within a professional executive protection team. This course is designed to provide students with a basic overview of skills and knowledge necessary to function as a member of a High-Threat or Executive Protection Detail. Students will spend two days learning and practicing in a controlled environment and two days applying what they have learned in a variety of real-world Full Mission Profiles.

While the majority of skills are covered in the course, it is impossible to address all associated skills or work towards perfecting each particular skill in a four-day course. For students wishing to work in the Protective Security industry, it is highly recommended that you take it upon yourselves to develop the required individual skills through isolated courses such as Pistol, Carbine, E/E, and Medical to name a few.
