Taking the HECPO course

(14 & 28 days) :

 

The upsurge of terrorism, violent extremism and organized crimes have produced an increased need for highly skilled private security contractors worldwide. Operating in high threat, conflict-affected, austere, and limited-infrastructure environments requires a specialist skillset and use of special operational procedures.

 

Your assignment starts as soon as you put your feet on the ground and cross a border, leaving you with no time to train with foreign weapon systems or to practice tactics with your team in the country or to adapt to a new environment.

 

Therefore, it's paramount to pull yourself together as soon as possible and hit the ground running since day one.

 

In this regard, BODYGUARD USA completely understands these operational shortcomings, and we have created the Hostile Environment Close Protection Operators (HECPO) training course as a response. The course is designed for candidates who work or plan to work in high-risk terrain worldwide.

Why Taking The HECPO Course ?

 

Our 28-day course will provide you with professional know-how, enabling you to take on any tasks as a well-trained personal security specialist in hostile territories. If you intend to upgrade your skill sets and to gain some new ones in the domain of modern close protection, then our 28-day Hostile Environment Close Protection Ops Training Course is for you. The course will provide you with the required level of proficiency for high threat protective operations in the commercial close protection industry and the private military sector nowadays.

Admission recquirements :

 

  • No previous experience in Security or Law Enforcement is required,

  • Clear Criminal Record,

  • Valid ID,

  • Medical Clearance (contact us)

Training is delivered by extensively experienced instructors in real-world conditions, and they will ensure that all candidates are properly trained. Our company has adopted a training philosophy – train as you will operate – underpinning our training principles to provide the candidates with the realistic, intensive, and dynamic course. There are no all-day sitting in the classroom nor firing rounds into a static paper-target nor practicing outdated, never-tested techniques. You will be challenged, both physically and mentally, to step out of your comfort zone and develop a problem-solving mindset – improvise, adapt, and overcome.
