About CTR Close Protection Training course

Our SIA Licensed, University accredited course is conducted in a structured manner covering the 15 National Occupational Standards see our (SIA Close Protection). CTR has incorporated them into a 16 day 150 hour progressive learning platform that allows reflective enhanced learning. The course is designed to teach you the theory behind protection and allow you to then conduct the practical. Each module bolts onto the next, starting with you as an individual protection operative and then bolting on the elements of a team as to mimic the financial consent of a client or principal. At the end of the training phase you will undergo a live exercise in which the principal is not a role player. This kind of assessment is unlike many other training companies in that you get a true picture of the corporate world and how the principal sees you as a protection operative.
