PSOC - Protection Agent Development Module

PSOC is designed exclusively for private security, Federal Government, DoD and LE professionals interested in learning principles and procedures for modern executive protection and personal security of high net-worth or ‘at risk’ individuals. This five-day/60-hour+ certification program is approved training by multiple Federal Government, state and corporate organizations, and is the only university-accredited protective services training program in the United States. PSOC consists of (2) two training modules: Protection Agent Development (four-days) and Protective Pistol Skills (one-day). ‘Protection Agent Development’ teaches contemporary methods for low visibility personal security in permissive to semi-permissive environments where a low to moderate threat exists. This highly academic and practical application-based training course creates a comprehensive and balanced foundation for prospective or current members of protective details. Subject matter comprises the most progressive and relevant doctrine currently available for individuals seeking instruction in modern EP practices. ‘Protective Pistol Skills’ is the weapons-centric component of PSOC and is entirely range-based. This format allows students to focus their attention on safe and practical use of a concealed handgun during protective security operations. Students will learn both individual and team-based tactics with firearms as they apply to third-person/principal defense. The primary goal of PSOC is to professionally educate and train those tasked with protective operations. Regardless of background or current assignment, students are trained to operate as a team. It is critical that protection agents exhibit professionalism, demonstrate fluid proficiency, and act with confidence in their abilities. To achieve and enforce this, students are held to a high standard and expected to perform. This is a certification course where various forms of testing and evaluation are utilized to measure the requisite knowledge, skills and abilities for graduation.
