SubscribeClose Protection Training Website introduced by CTR Services Ltd.
The new CTR website www.close-protection-training.co.uk has been designed for Close Protection dedicated training. CTR Services Ltd has advanced its training academy to cater for the demand from our UK clients. We are endorsed by Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College under contractual agreement to conduct the Security Industry Authority (SIA) 150 hour Short Course.
The course structure focuses on developing the student to a level that they can complete a live exercise at the end of the course with one of our existing clients. No other training course can provide this type of Close Protection training with the added career development system we have to all Close Protection training students.
The recognition of the Close Protection training course is second to none and during the 16 days you will develop a portfolio which prepares you for the future within the Corporate and Celebrity sectors and management. So what will you learn on the 16 day Corporate & Celebrity training course? To make the learning progressive, we have split the SIA core competencies into manageable segments which follow the operational financial commitment made by our existing client base. (In other words working from 1 on 1, to full teams).
Threats
In this module you will cover advanced methods of conducting Risk & Vulnerability Assessments to Threat analysis and security design mythology. The module is started by understanding the range of threats you will encounter within corporate and celebrity environments and takes you through the progressive steps to finally develop a security plan. "Unless you can identify the threat? How can you protect against it".

Personal Security is a module that looks at the Close protection Operative and principal alike and utilizes the SAFER system. You will develop skills in IT security, Home and Work security procedures for the CPO and client through client education.
Low Level Protection

It will also cover search awareness (person, vehicle & room, venue) and venue based security design and implementation.
