THE EXECUTIVE PROTECTION ACADEMY (EPA-301)
Executive protection professionals today face a myriad of challenging global threats. This asymmetrical environment creates the need for highly trained, professional executive protection practitioners who possess the leadership, technical, and communication skills to effectively safeguard their respective Principal(s).
ACADEMY OVERVIEW
Certified by ASIS, this 14-day/131-plus hour Executive Protection Academy (EPA-301) delivers instruction on critical executive protection skills with unmatched relevance and unparalleled depth. This academy was designed to deliver a comprehensive blend of both soft and hard executive protection skills for professionals of all experience levels, including entry-level, novice, and seasoned practitioners currently protecting Fortune 500 principals, UHNW individuals, and public figures.
This unique, modular academy is delivered via a hybrid combination of live, instructor-led instruction, challenging field exercises, and web-based/online components. The academy culminates with a capstone full-mission-profile Situational Training Exercise (STX) in which students will be evaluated on the entire spectrum of skills encompassed by the curriculum.
Participants will receive dynamic instruction from real-world, operationally experienced instructors with decades of combined executive protection service in both domestic and international environments.
