CLOSE PROTECTION OPERATOR — 14-DAY INTENSIVE PROGRAM | FEBRUARY 2026
Forge Security Group introduces the most advanced Close Protection training in Europe. A 14-day selection designed for professionals operating in Executive & VIP Protection.
This program is built on the core pillars of modern protection: professionalism, preparation, planning. Not a “bodyguard” course. A transformation into an Operator capable of functioning at international standard.
Students will develop operational mindset, threat anticipation and planning discipline. Modules include Roles & Responsibilities of a CPO, Threat & Risk Assessment, Operational Planning, Route Selection, Venue Security, Reconnaissance, Surveillance Awareness, Foot Tactics, Vehicle Tactics and Embus/Debus, Incident Management, Decision-Making Under Stress, Protocol & Etiquette, communications, SOPs and integration with local authorities. Every unit is measured on real-world output.
New standards: ISSA Executive Range Protocols (ERP). We reject sport or military range habits. We teach Executive Protection shooting: strict safety, target prioritization, timing windows, VIP shielding, realistic reloads, cover—not staged barricades. No “points.” Survival, continuity, responsibility.
Our ERP methodology forces observation, decision and ex*****on under compressed time frames. Operators learn to move the Principal before themselves.
For over 15 years, Forge has operated globally with governments, agencies, corporations and high-profile clientele. Our doctrine is built on real experience across Europe, USA, Middle East and Asia. We train discipline, composure, communication, team interoperability. Certification is earned, not requested.
Target: professional operators, former military or LE, corporate security personnel, PPOs, RST, security managers seeking international standards.
Only one seats. February 2026.
