Why this career, why now
A career built on judgment - not algorithms
Executive protection is one of the few high-paying fields that rewards exactly what makes us human. Here’s what you’re really signing up for.
Built on Human Judgment
Protective work runs on presence, situational awareness, and split-second decisions — the skills automation and outsourcing can’t touch.
Real Income, Real Demand
Executive protection averages about $93K a year nationally (ZipRecruiter), and 70%+ of our graduates reach job placement in a growing field.
Train Like You'll Work
Live-fire, force-on-force, EVOC, and tactical-medical scenarios led by former federal and special-operations professionals.
Support Past Graduation
Resume guidance, interview prep, and job-placement help that continues after you finish the program.
