Welcome to the Professional Bodyguard Association

The Close Protection Industry is in a revolutionary age of global changes. Political, commercial and civilian needs have and are advancing at phenomenal levels never seen before and indeed the prediction for its growth is undeniable. The need for Professional Close Protection Operatives of the highest calibre is crucial.

To this end, the introduction of The Security Industry Act - legislated through the SIA (Security Industry Authority), now governs the licensing procedure which is now required to work as a C.P.O. in the U.K.

The conversion to this legislation is due to vast government investment, education and support, ensuring that the industry retains confidence and reliability, having a professional standard always guaranteed and monitored giving a reputable and respected benchmark. The security industry therefore is projected into an ever progressing level where optimum opportunities to pursue market/industry achievement will be open to our students.  

Additionally, many employers who hire C.P.O's outside the U.K . are increasingly anxious that their employees have an SIA approved course/licence behind them making and maintaining a worldwide network of trust in a solid system and so providing a solution to global needs.

The aim of the PBA is train all of our students to pass the qualifying examination – and hopefully beyond. The PBA actively promotes training of excellence and with our many years of experience and knowledge coupled with the SIA Core Competency Syllabus a superior quality C.P.O. is produced. Our commitment to provide training of the highest level means that both client and student get what they want – this is ensured by our instructors who are qualified and experienced to the highest calibre you would expect.

We also offer specialised Surveillance Courses for those who wish to further their training/knowledge within this field making an operative who is highly employable and operationally more competent when undertaking ‘high risk' duties, protective surveillance or private investigation assignments.

Firearms Courses are available through reputable providers we know in the E.U, or U.S.A.
