Professional Development Training and Non-Regulated Training

Close Protection Training

Close Protection CPD and Non-Regulated Training

The Level 3 Close Protection Course is the essential first step to obtaining your SIA Close Protection Licence. It marks the beginning of your professional journey within a new career and lays the foundation for more advanced training needed to succeed as a close protection operative in the private security industry.


Professional development training or Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is one way to develop and move forward in your career, ensuring your skills and knowledge stay sharp in an industry that’s always changing. By investing in your growth, you open doors to new opportunities, whether stepping into a more senior role, specialising in a particular area, or even transitioning into advisory work. It also enhances your professional reputation; in a field where trust and expertise are everything, high-net-worth clients and corporations want security operatives who can demonstrate up-to-date knowledge and the latest protection techniques. Ultimately, CPD isn’t just about career progression, it’s about staying ahead, staying valuable, and being the best at what you do.  


Our CPD and Non-Regulated courses are designed, overseen, and assessed by seasoned professionals and subject matter experts with extensive experience in the close protection industry.
