COURSE INFORMATION

Ucp’s uniquely developed course blends the close protection level 3 standard course with an advanced industry sector that is sometimes missed on the normal training courses.

Working with and for a-listers and sports stars is a totally different world than a wealthy CEO. Same foundations but the diversity of the superstars is immense.

Their lifestyle and their travelling, meeting other ibg’s and friends of friends, the excessive needs and wants and not to mention the image they have to upkeep every minute of the day.

 Fans, stalkers, paparazzi and journalist, criminal gangs and the irs and hmrc s all have their surveillance units watching out for the stars for some reason or another.

A special kind of security operative covers all angles of threat on these superstars.

Working with celebrities like, meryl streep, tom cruise and george clooney, to name a few, should be the highlight of your career. Many students who have come through training go onto become part of a team or the actual individual bodyguard to these superstars.

Global travelling, respect from the crowds, feeling important and needed are just a few good reasons to want to get up and work each morning.
