Close Protection Unit

HECPO / CPO level 5 /PSD level 4 course Included Tactical First Aid

This specially designed advanced course-mix take place in real conflict conditions to familiarize candidates with unforgiving operations environment and on-duty task activities related to security & defence missions in the Middle East. The training ends with a protective mission in real conditions. The number of places are limited. Have the chance to get all the two major certificates in one course!

10 days of real, hostile, convoy, reconnaissance training, advanced close protection level 5 and personal security detail level 4 drills and techniques. And, in the middle and the end with a live mission! Those involved in the existence of the PSD should thoroughly dig into themselves. First ever combined with the level 5 CPO knowledge. There is a huge amount of work and preparation to be done before completing a mission. Planning, preparation, reconnaissance, observation, team building, preparation and the execution itself. Weapons, cars, driving techniques and methods, weapons handling, emergency solutions, formations, evacuation. Included real missions in Beirut! Closing the Elite Bodyguard level 4 and a combined CPO level 5 exam, CPU HECPO – Hostile Environment Close Protection and Sentinel certificate. And that's not the whole list. A novelty is that anyone who passed the course, depending on their performance get a work reference letter from our middle east security partner and also some extras. The “live mission” will show how trained the students are! It will be a whole new challenge!

CPO certificate and a reference from a Lebanese security company, certificate from Sentinel and CPU due to the unique nature of HECPO training in Lebanon. Other areas, locations, customs, and conditions that change the nature of the work. Every area is different. All participants must adapt to this, and all agents must adapt to the work.
