Like any professional career, high-calibre training gives you greater credibility and confidence in your ability. Selecting close protection training that pushes you to the limit is essential. After all, if you want to be an effective and in-demand close protection operative, you must learn about close protection at the highest level.
At Blue Mountain Group (BMG), we take a purely immersive approach to close protection training. Our training goes beyond standard security programmes. It truly creates a positive impact on individuals and businesses in the security industry.
In our 2nd interview for our close protection blog series, we connected with a recent delegate who runs his own security company. Read on to learn how the close protection course has helped him and his business thrive.
1) Setting the Standard in Close Protection Training
"The standard that Blue Mountain Group trains to, is streets ahead of anyone else I've encountered in the industry".
Our close protection course is unique because we have set ourselves exceptional standards. We only work with incredible instructors, most of whom are still active close protection operatives. We are known in the security industry for our expertise.
Our mission is to create a safer world. Every delegate we train helps us continue this mission by creating outstanding close protection operatives. We push ourselves as a company to continue delivering the highest training level every single time.
Enjoy An Immersive Learning Environment
What sets us apart is our rigorous curriculum and the immersive, hands-on environment we create. Our participants face real-world simulations that challenge their adaptability and decision-making under pressure.
Our instructors bring invaluable real-world experience, and our training is grounded in the realities of the security industry. As our delegate put it, “BMG’s instructors, having been there and done that, have made the course unmatched in quality.”
2) Real-World Application and Positive Behavioural Change
"Practical learning enhances anyone's learning quicker than theoretical training".
Our delegate knows this, as he runs a security company himself. His quote emphasised the importance of our immersive training. We find that people learn so much more and retain it when they can put things into practice during training.
The real-world nature of our training means that skills learned with us have immediate applicability in the field.
Our delegate shared how, through our course, critical skills have become second nature. Our training has helped him perform under pressure more easily: “The immersive environment accelerated learning significantly, ensuring that the skills I learned became second nature.”
Improving the Way You Work and Your Business
BMG’s training has also shifted his behaviour and working style. Our delegate found that his approach to risk management, communication, and strategic client interactions has become more refined and proactive.
“The course has sharpened my focus on proactive risk management, improved communication under pressure, and introduced a more strategic approach to security planning”.
3) The BMG Difference - Expecting the Unexpected
"The Lead Trainer and his team made you expect the unexpected, which was key to personal development".
What truly sets BMG’s training apart is our commitment to unpredictability. Real-world security work requires adaptability, and our training reflects that. Our instructors immerse participants in situations demanding quick thinking.
Our Close Protection Course follows the accreditation syllabus but goes beyond that and then some. It helps you prepare for any close protection role and start your career with the best possible start.
Learning from Dedicated Instructors
Our instructors’ passion and dedication push participants to grow during the training and to continue it after the course. “The passion and drive that the lead trainer and his team have really pushed things to another level,” our delegate remarked.
This dedication from our training team ensures a lasting impact. It helps prepare participants for immediate job challenges and create successful careers. For our delegate, it also led to a strategic and positive shift in his company’s core practices.
4) Enhancing Business Operations and Leadership
"The course has enhanced our operational standards and best practices".
Our Close Protection Course goes beyond individual skill-building and can help individuals elevate their businesses in many areas. Our delegate has improved his business's operational standards, internal protocols, and overall service quality.
He explained the training helped him slow down his thinking. Instead of going straight into the core situation, he looks at each layer individually. He can now review his business differently and make better business decisions.
“BMG’s training has led me to introduce best practices for close protection, more rigorous protocols, and enhanced teamwork”.
Developing Your Leadership Skills
The course can also influence leadership development at all levels. Our delegate now approaches high-stakes situations more precisely and confidently, leading teams more effectively.
“The training has boosted my confidence and efficiency when tackling complex security tasks,” he shared.
The delegate also found that the enhancements continued beyond personal growth and had impacted his team and clients. He said, "Team performance and client satisfaction have noticeably improved. Clients have expressed higher levels of trust.”
Positive client feedback has been a testament to this transformation and improved team cohesion in his security training business. “Clients have told us that the new structure is clear and precise, and productivity has increased.”
5) How Blue Mountain Group is Leading the Future of Security Training
"BMG’s course is in a league of its own... setting a new benchmark for professional security training."
We were proud as a company to hear this from our delegate. It’s what we want to achieve with our training. Our Close Protection Course isn’t just another training programme. We are determined to set a new benchmark in the security industry.
The security landscape is evolving daily with technological advancements and increasingly complex threats. BMG, as always, is up to the challenge and continues to create courses that push our delegates to their full potential.
Preparing Delegates for Future Security Challenges
We want delegates to have the confidence to face future challenges head-on. Our immersive training methods are intense and transformational. Our delegate explained that our process has radically improved the business and himself.
“The overall training experience was exceptional. It exceeded all expectations and is undoubtedly superior to any other course currently available in the market.”
