When it comes to personal and corporate security, the importance of a Primary Assessment cannot be overstated. We believe that this initial step is crucial in laying the groundwork for effective and tailored protective operations.

Security is as much about protecting people and property as it is about serving and assisting.  This is why we have high expectations of our teams to deliver excellent customer service.  Interestingly, however, customer service is still the less familiar and perhaps less popular concept when it comes to security, and hence something that many entry-level guards have to be trained and coached on.

Read your licence carefully to ensure it is correct. It should identify you and:

• The types of security services you are authorized to perform, as well as

EPST1 is our mid-level protective training course designed for both domestic and foreign duties. Our methodology focuses heavily on soft operation manoeuvres for non-hostile environments, enabling participants to make important life-saving decisions under duress.  From VIP protection, to corporate clients, politicians and foreign dignitaries, the art of protection requires more than just big boys with imposing looks, cool cars and wanna-be action super heroes.
