To further enhance training provision, Skills for Security have accredited programmes that have been developed by other organisations but have met our quality standards and can therefore display the 'Skills for Security approved' logo. The following organisations offer Close Protection courses that have been accredited by Skills for Security.
In order to work in close protection in the UK, close protection officers must have attended an accredited SIA close protection course, hold a valid Health & Safety Executive first aid certificate and passed a criminal background check.
Surveillance Detection & Instinctive Driving (SDID) Course (2 Days)
The G4S Surveillance Detection & Instinctive Driving (SDID) course is aimed at executive drivers and those involved in security driving details. The G4S SDID course is at the forefront of driving innovation with a relevant balance of valuable driving experiences and is conducted over 2 days at the G4S training facility in Pershore. The facility is a former MOD air base, offering a 200 acre secure and private site, and provides realistic driving challenges in emergency situations: the use of open road areas gives one element of training while specific evasive driver training is carried out at Pershore's bespoke simulated 'hostile' environment. G4S' highly experienced instructors consist of former UK Special Forces and police personnel who have recognised civilian teaching qualifications as well as recent operational experience.
