CLOSE PROTECTION/BODYGUARD COURSE is our mid-level protective training course designed for both domestic and foreign duties. Our methodology focuses heavily on soft operation maneuvers for non-hostile environments, enabling participants to make important life-saving decisions under duress. From VIP protection, to corporate clients, politicians and foreign dignitaries, the art of protection requires more than just big boys with imposing looks, cool cars and wanna-be action super heroes. Psychology of the Protector Let's get to the heart of it: the reality of protective work is that it can be extremely boring: head on a swivel, eyes scanning the crowd, ears on the radio. Many schools press for vigilance, the protector constantly on alert. Whereas at Executive Protection Academy International, we believe in "deep awareness", with a state of relaxation allowing protectors to be sensitive to changes, both in their environment and in themselves. Twelve hours of vigilance is realistically not sustainable, nor healthy for that matter. Being "relaxed" is an internal state, that comes with proper and continuous training; its symptoms shouldn’t be visible from the outside, but it allows for operators to remain comfortable, present, and smooth in their processes.
