With the new legislation licensing the security sectors, the SIA from the 20th March 2006 has implemented the close protection
(bodyguard) license. This new legislative requirement was developed by the SIA steering Committee to develop the National Occupational Standards which are in force today

providers.

on new contracts.

worked for CTR, 9% of students
have been placed with other
companies, 5% have gone straight
into higher education within
protection and the remainders
have found their own paths
within the industry. The year
ending 2007 we conducted 1300+
close protection tasks.
