Advanced Executive Protection Training Course

The aim of this executive protection training course is to upgrade the capabilities of law enforcement personnel and executive protection security officers and train them to better understand a security detail.

Our Advanced Executive Protection Training course is the perfect next step for security professionals. This course takes fundamental knowledge and builds on it to deliver excellent results. It provides effective training that will allow you to work as a protection agent or part of a security team in future.

Advanced Executive Protection Course Overview

Operate at the highest level of executive protection.

The Advanced Executive Protection course is the culmination of Pacific West Academy’s EP curriculum — a 24-hour deep dive into surveillance, counter-surveillance, advance work, contractor operations, and tactical light applications. Designed for agents who have completed their foundational EP training, this course develops the sophisticated skills and operational mindset required to work at the highest levels of the executive protection profession.

At the advanced level, executive protection is as much about intelligence and preparation as it is about physical presence. This course trains students to think like both the protector and the threat — understanding how attacks on protection details are planned and executed in order to build more effective defenses against them.

The course begins with a comprehensive study of surveillance: foot surveillance, vehicle surveillance, and fixed-point counter-surveillance operations. Students learn to identify surveillance activity, conduct their own surveillance detection routes, and apply counter-surveillance strategies to protect a detail from being targeted.

The advance module covers the full scope of pre-operation planning — from electronic advance research to the physical advance checklist used at hotels, venues, and common EP locations. Students develop the ability to identify vulnerabilities, develop contingency plans, and brief their team with precision.

Contractor operations and specialized mobile security contracts are addressed, followed by an in-depth module on tactical white light — an increasingly important capability in protective operations. Students learn the optics of light, the differences between lumens and candela, and how to select and employ handheld and weapon-mounted lights in defensive applications, backed by practical simulator scenarios.

All practical exercises must be passed at a 70% or higher standard.

Overall, the level of instruction you receive will successfully build on your existing knowledge. It will provide you with an operational-level ability to perform the role of an executive protection officer. The Advanced Executive Protection Training course is incredibly complex and rich in detail. However, it also delivers the information in a simple, easy-to-understand manner that fully prepares you for a career in this sector.
