Phoenix CP has devised a comprehensive four-week training package to realistically prepare men and women for a career in the Close Protection industry. This course, conducted at Phoenix’s modern facility near Hereford, is designed to meet operational requirements within the commercial security market and give you the qualifications and confidence to seek employment secure in the knowledge that you can do the job. The Phoenix CP course effectively integrates theoretical and practical aspects of the syllabus into a consistent package which meets the realistic demands of the commercial security sector and moves you from entry-level basics to a high standard in CP procedures, unarmed defence, CP driving skills, first aid and trauma management.
These are all competencies considered essential by potential employers.
The course is taught by operationally experienced and professionally qualified instructors, including former Special Forces soldiers and other specialists with extensive military, police and commercial experience.
Passing the Phoenix CP course gives you a SIA-accredited certificate in Close Protection, as well as a City & Guilds Level 3 certificate. The course syllabus includes:
Introduction to CP roles & responsibilities.
Risk and threat assessment.
Security management and contingency
planning.
Conflict management.
Surveillance awareness.
Travel Pattern Analysis.
CP foot drills.
CP vehicle drills.
Venue-based security.
Defensive driving.
Incident reaction.
Unarmed defence.
First responder medical skills.
Communications.
Weapons familiarisation.

The Phoenix CP Firearms Course is a 5 day, practical course designed for those who are likely to
deploy on Close Protection or protective security assignments overseas, where the carriage of
firearms may be necessary and is legally permitted.
An armed Close Protection Officer involved with VIP or asset protection may have to respond with
controlled lethal force, as a last resort. This calls for decisive and clear thinking combined with speed
and accuracy, while under extreme pressure.
Phoenix CP believes that the ability to meet these demands requires training which involves intensive practical instruction using the weapons you are likely to encounter on operations, generous amounts of live ammunition and a variety of testing scenarios:
3 days of pistol training, using the Glock 17 pistol;
2 days of assault rifle training, using the SIG 550 series 5.56 rifle;
A minimum of 250 rounds fired every day.
Phoenix CP training is based on practical techniques developed through years of operational
experience and using the proven techniques of the American Small Arms Academy system. Tuition is
provided by Phoenix CP’s firearms instructors who have a wealth of Special Forces and operational
experience.
Due to the UK handgun ban and because the necessary skill level cannot be taught through artificial
means, Phoenix CP conducts its firearms course at an excellent range complex near Geneva in
Switzerland.
Phoenix CP’s mission is to provide the best quality training possible for service leavers and for those
already operating within the private security industry. Its success is proved by the fact that around half of all SIA-licensed CP operators have been trained by Phoenix CP.
The detailed explanation, skilful demonstration and expert coaching, conducted in a relaxed but safety conscious environment, combines to develop the skills and competencies of students to a high standard. This is also a qualifying course after which successful students will receive a Handgun Proficiency Certificate.
