We understand the importance of the close protection officer’s role, taking them overseas as an international professional bodyguard. With this in mind we now deliver the international recognized awards leading to the application for the different security licenses that are a legal requirement when working overseas in locations such as the UK and France. Imagine you arrive at Heathrow with your client without your SIA license, and you are at the hotel being questioned by the hotel security as to what you are doing? you say you are the protection officer for the VIP, and they say good can I see your license? It all ends there.
