About the Course
A 3 day course leading to a Level 2 Award for Working as a Close Protection Operative in the Private Security Industry (Top Up) qualification.

If you require the FAW qualification prior to the course, there will be an additional cost of £120 and a further 2-days added to the course making it a 5-day course.

All elements of the course must be achieved by the learner to enable them to renew their Close Protection licence with the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
