WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

This award is designed for those learners wishing to apply for a licence from the security industry authority (SIA) to work as a close protection operative (CPO). It is based on the relevant sia’s specification for learning and qualifications

COURSE INFORMATION

This uniquely designed course was developed by experts with over 30 years + experience each, seeing a gap in this sector for most close protection course training providers. UCP has written this course to complement the standard Close Protection Training. No one really covers this remit and it for some reason off the radar. But this role and responsibility make up a good percentage of tasking.

Working on your own or with a designated driver is very common in the private security industry, this is called (IBG) Individual Bodyguard.

Working as an individual is actually harder than in a team due to the protocols of this role that comes with it. An IBG has to be in two places at one time, and the demand for a good operator is high, some of the world’s highest-paid security. A good IBG can fetch around £1000 per day.

But you have to look and act the part. so, look in the mirror before booking this course and say to yourself “have i got what it takes to be an IGB?
