Introduction to Bodyguard Training

VIPs like politicians and movie stars are often exposed to harassment or attacks from the public. They require the services of a personal security agent or bodyguard to survive such situations and such protection demands specific skills, qualifications and extensive training. This course covers the roles and responsibilities of professional bodyguards.

We begin with an in-depth examination of the function and mode of operation of a professional bodyguard and lay out the employee qualities sought by security companies. The course explains how close protection operates in the United Kingdom and goes over security agents’ specific training requirements.
