Executive Protection Training

 

The MSS Protective Services training program applies the doctrines of ‘Arm’s Reach Principle’ & ‘Collapse & Evacuate’.  It is based on the methods & tactics used by the US Secret Service & the Royal Military Police (which trains the SAS) which are internationally recognized for their protective services excellence.

The course contents have been taught in the USA for over 15 years, where attendees include Police (SWAT), Military (being deployed to a conflict/war zone to protect Senior Officers), various government agencies (international), Fortune 500 company in-house teams & others.

The MSS protective services programme includes:

  • Initial level course
  • Intermediate level Course
  • Advance level course – Detail leaders & high threat environment/conflict zone operations.

The courses are designed to be challenging and are NOT training to the lowest denominator. They involve 30% theory & 70% practical with a final written, then practical examination (scenario based simulated protection operation) which must be passed (75% pass mark), to graduate.

The courses teach the ‘Hard Skills’ (methods, tactics, Attack on principal drills, advance operations, etc.), but also the ‘Soft Skills’ (etiquette, operating in the corporate environment, etc.), as well as modules covering physiology – how the body reacts to stress/danger and psychology – ‘flight or fight syndrome’, decision making under stress, problem solving & more.

Students undergo aptitude testing, vetting & suitability assessments, before being accepted (or not) for training.

The MSS Lead Instructor is a 25-year veteran with real-world international experience including high threat and conflict zone operations, as well as 15 years as an adjunct instructor in the US. He is a recognised subject matter expert and speaks at international conferences/forums. Some of his protection operations are used as teaching aids by a US-based university.
