Our Close Protection Top Up Training Course
We teach our Close Protection Top Up Course through experience gained on the ground over decades of working within the security industry. We’re not a company to just rattle off a PowerPoint for a few days and leave it at that. Rather, we teach you using our real world experience in the industry, demonstrating the realities of working as a Close Protection Operative and the security industry as a whole. Throughout our Close Protection course you will be continually assessed and tested. You can read more about our scenario training and pressure testing here. After your course we will be here to support you as you progress through your career in the security industry if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you guarantee a pass on the Close Protection top up training?
- No, we do not guarantee a pass. This is because we are firm believers in the raising of standards within the industry and believe in the quality of our training. We will support our learners where needed to ensure they reach the required standard to enable them to pass the course of their own accord. If you are after a guaranteed pass, then we are not the training provider for you.
- What happens if I fail my Close Protection top up training?
- If you fail your course, you are entitled to a free re-sit of the failed examination(s). We will assist you on where we believe you have fallen short, and from there we will advise and guide you on reaching the required level.
- Will you place me into work, after my Close Protection top up training?
- While we are an operational company, we cannot guarantee employment with us after your course. We do have links within the industry, and as work opportunities arise through them, we may pass these opportunities onto our graduate database.
- Is it worth getting my door supervisors licence?
- In short, yes. There are a lot of opportunities arising all over the UK for door supervisor licensed operatives, and you are not limited to working in licensed venues as a door supervisor licence holder. Retail security, construction site security, rapid response security, and many more roles are all available to door supervisor licensed operatives and currently there is a shortage of quality staff.
- Do you have much experience in the security industry?
- Yes we do. Among our instruction team we have over 50 years of operational experience working in front-line roles within the security industry predominantly in Close Protection. Prior to that we have a wide range of backgrounds outside of the security industry such as former emergency services, former military, and civilians who have spent their whole working life in the security industry.
- What do you mean by “reality based training”?
- We are in the fortunate position that we have a lot of experience within the security industry. This means that when we teach subjects within that, we teach from a point of experience. We us our experience to enhance your learning, sharing real life situations so that our students can gain a greater understanding of the context of what we are teaching. We also teach the realities of the industry so that those passing the course have an understanding of what they may be expected to do.
