CPO - Close Protection Training

Our Close Protection Officer programme is built around real operational experience, demanding standards and field-tested skills. Our instructional team brings together active PSD operators with extensive deployment experience in hostile environments, particularly across Africa and the Middle East, alongside former Special Forces personnel. These are not instructors relying solely on past careers: our team remains operational, continues to deploy and stays connected to the realities of the environments we train for.

We don’t believe in shortcuts, rushed seven-day courses or compromising standards to maximise student numbers. Our focus is on developing capable, disciplined and mission-ready professionals through intensive, practical training. The curriculum is shaped by real field experience — including lessons learned from mistakes, operational challenges and hard-earned successes. Combat skills and personal protection are fundamental to our philosophy: how can you be expected to protect someone else if you cannot protect yourself? Expect demanding days, realistic scenarios, high expectations and a mission-focused approach. We train as we operate. We train as we fight.
