DESCRIPTION OF TRAINING

A close protection agent, more commonly known as a bodyguard, works either as part of a team or independently on assignments, and is responsible for protecting people on business or private trips, in compliance with the law. 

They are capable of providing security and intervening to protect people. He is a privileged contact and a ‘facilitator’ of life for the persons to be protected and their entourage. They work in complete discretion.

Increasingly, it is important to take an international view of a CPO's career. This vision must take into account the major international bodies (NATO, EU, EEAS, NGO's, UN, etc). Appropriate and optimal training, as well as one of the internationally recognised certificates, will be a major asset in an international application.
