Why is professional executive protection training important

by Executive Protection Institute EPI was founded in 1978

Executive protection is probably one of the only industries where its practitioners tend to claim responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of their clients. Yet, there are different state regulations and virtually no requirement to enter the field.

If one can make it through rigorous executive protection classes, the chances are that you will make it in the field.

Executive protection training

Professional executive protection training courses tend to vary significantly in length. They can range anywhere from one day to several days and are taught by executive protection institutes (A.K.A. bodyguard school). These institutes will help you implicate numerous skills that are critical to becoming a professional bodyguard. You can find various institutions that offer such courses online.

Soft skills

The best thing about soft skills is that they can be taught within a week; even though this week merely gives aspiring prospectors a glimpse into what executive protection entails, you need to learn the principles and fundamentals.

This type of executive protection training may be revised every five years to stay updated, and supplemental training needs to be conducted periodically. Soft skills include how to work an advance, formations, what is involved in planning, attack on principle drills, threat assessment, and much more.

Hard skills

Hard skills are what they sound like – hard to develop! Defensive and evasive driving, armed and unarmed combat, counter-surveillance, shooting, and other specialties are a part of complex skills. Many professional certifications require periodic recertification or continuing education units to maintain the certification. It is a good thing since it helps strengthen the industry with certified professionals with specialties.

Do your research, talk to professionals in the field, and find out the best way for you to get into the area. Ensure you use your training to maximize your base, leaving you a well-rounded executive protection practitioner.
