Bodyguard Training (Close Protection Operative)

AAB offers a comprehensive close protection course aimed at equipping a bodyguard with the highest degree of competence required for a specialised field of bodyguard operations. AAB’s SIA-accredited Close Protection Officer’s course will equip participants with the level of professional expertise required to be able to participate in all aspects of professional Close Protection operations.

All of our Instructors are highly experienced in both Close Protection operations and in SIA CP training. Our CP training partner have been involved in security training in the UK since 1992, and is widely recognised as one of the leading Close Protection training and operation companies in the country. The benefit of training with us will continue even after the end of the course, as we are always willing to help successful candidates develop their own security careers in whichever way they feel most appropriate. Our support goes beyond providing you with an excellent close protection (bodyguard training) course to also providing you with sound career advice in order to benefit from recruitment opportunities.

The course is challenging but rewarding, and will provide all candidates with a wealth of skills and knowledge that will enhance your value and contribution to any security team that you are working with. It will even enhance the quality of your own private life. The Close Protection course requires both discipline and motivation from candidates, but the rewards will be a truly professional level of skills and capabilities that will be of benefit throughout your security career.
All of our modules are full on, practical and action packed and we provide many activities and insights that other training providers neglect. The action takes place in and around popular London venues, with day trips to airports, helicopter landing pads, private hospitals and skid pans for advanced driving.

The close protection course is SIA recognized, an official level 3 certificate of competence is issued upon successful completion and it is delivered in a modular approach consisting of 150 hours training.
