Becoming a Protective Agent through us is not a free ride, and is not accomplished in a few easy lessons. Your trainers (see above) did not receive one and neither will you. We are training you on how to keep yourself and others safe at the same time, and that takes continuous effort. This type of work, though rewarding in a number of ways, is dynamic and not for everyone.

Important notes:

1. Not everyone is selected for this training and subsequent listing on our Bodyguard/Protective Agent registry for special placement assistance.

    a. Selection is based on a number of factors including

        attitude, reliability, professional demeanor, commitment

        to work, life experience, education, training, and other

        factors. 

    b. The applicant will need a resume and will be interviewed

        before selected.  We are committed to using only the

        best trainers to produce the best operators for our

        employer groups, and the selection process is part of

        how we accomplish this.

2. Tuition is subject to change and does not include books/ manuals (where required), airsoft training, and equipment such as firearms, tactical gear, etc. or travel and lodging out of your city/town/state to places like Virginia and Maryland for Navy SEAL type training.

3. Candidates have to be serious about a real career and commitment to their work and ongoing training to keep your name on the Bodyguard/Protective Agent Registry once training is successfully passed.  If you do not pass the training you will not get on the registry.

4. You should be physically fit and be able to jog short distances.
