Close Personal Protection Practitioner Training: Excellence in Essential Training

Who We Serve and Enrollment Opportunities

Synergistic Protection Training offers three enrollment options to serve individual learners and organizations seeking the highest standard in Close Personal Protection training.

First, our open enrollment is ideal for those entering the Close Protection industry or professionals looking to expand their skills within the field. Second, we offer group enrollment for organizations seeking to train their entire team. This can include our standard course or customized training programs tailored to an organization’s specific needs. Whether it’s initial training or refresher programs for seasoned practitioners, we ensure all participants receive top-tier instruction.

Our View of Close Protection

Close Personal Protection, Executive Protection, VIP Protection, and Bodyguarding all refer to the essential task of protecting people—but what does that truly entail?

At Synergistic, we believe all protection operations must be intelligence-driven. By identifying, qualifying, and communicating critical information, we create a roadmap of actionable strategies to mitigate the risks our principal protectees face in their business, travel, and personal lives.

Our role is to manage and reduce risks. This means guiding individuals away from threats, eliminating vulnerabilities, and managing the potential impact of risks on those under our protective care. Through our presence, we act as a deterrent. Through our investigative and physical security measures, we can delay or disrupt an attacker’s intent. Using intelligence and careful analysis, we issue warnings before harm can occur, helping to prevent injury, damage, or loss of life.

Beyond physical safety, we protect our principals’ reputation, health, and ability to live and work without disruption. We provide logistical support, ensuring their environment is controlled and risk-free, allowing them to focus on what matters most.

Setting the Standard – Challenging You to Excel

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, our Close Protection Practitioner Course stands out by requiring all participants to meet rigorous standards of knowledge and practical ability.

Throughout the course, we continuously assess your understanding, retention, and practical skills. Only those who meet our high standards will receive full certification. For those who need additional development, we offer a certificate of attendance and an invitation to return for retesting or further practice.

The Synergistic Approach – Blended and Scalable Learning

We offer a flexible, blended learning approach, allowing students to access the training they need without being confined to a single location.

What to Expect

Knowledge Delivery

Our instructors and support staff organize and assist our students in understanding our processes from day one, and that carries the student forward throughout the educational presentation. Focused on your success, we gauge our delivery’s tempo with the student’s development pace while mirroring a real-world operational pace.

Regardless of the delivery method, we build your foundation through knowledge. Here you will begin to understand theory based on years of practice – we monitor cognitive retention while gauging your initial abilities in their simplest manner. 

  • Are you organized? 
  • Are you timely? 
  • Can you effectively communicate? 

Aside from actual knowledge-based learning, these are just some of the points we build and monitor in preparing you for the practical application exercises.

Practical Application

The progression from classroom to practical proficiency begins the first day of your training. Each task provided moves you closer to mastering each while allowing you to evaluate and modify your understanding to practice until your abilities and skill performance becomes an automated response.

As the practical revolutions move forward, the instructional staff will induce stressors within scenarios and role play to challenge and question your performance. We have proven this effective in addition to the repetitiveness exercises – creating sustainable skills.

Customization For Quicker Learning

When training students from specific organizations, we identify and integrate their governance, operational methods, and expectations into the delivered program. By infusing the organization’s principles and theories into our established training, we reduce the required adjustment time in re-explaining the knowledge received within the organization’s parameters regular protocols, thus moving the individual to operational status quicker.
