In the UK, in March 2006 it became the law that you must have a license to work in Close Protection Operations. To obtain a license you must complete and pass a course that is compliant with the specifications as laid down by the UK's Regulatory body the SIA. We are fully approved to offer this standard and we are the largest Close Protection training provider in Europe.
Our course is 14 days in duration and is a combination of classroom instruction and practical exercises. It is an intensive course and all sections of the course must be completed to allow you to apply for your license.
