ESS Global Corp, a leading provider of security services is now a GI Bill Approved Bodyguard School. Approved by the VA, Approved by the D.O.E.
GI Bill Approved Bodyguard School
A Bodyguard, or Executive Protection Specialist, protects clients from threats such as assault, kidnapping and stalking. While bodyguards and close protection specialists must be prepared to force if necessary, much of the protection is the result of assessing threats and advance planning. In other words, it’s not just brawn but brains as well.
Clients are often celebrities, CEO’s, politicians and their families as well as others in the public eye who are more at risk than an ordinary citizen. For a deeper look at the world of Executive Protection, read our Beginner’s Guide to Executive Protection.
GI Bill Approved Bodyguard School – D.O.E. Approved
ESS Global Corp is not only approved by the VA to accept GI Bill Benefits, we are also approved by the Department of Education. Additionally, we are the only Executive Protection School that utilizes one of just two VirTra Simulators in the US for active shooter training. Lastly, we have current real world experience.

ESS Global now offers GI Bill Approved Executive Protection Training – As of December 23, 2016, ESS Global is a VA approved training facility and can accept GI Bill® Benefits. This makes us one of only 3 known Executive Protection Schools approved for GI Bill® Benefits in the U.S. and the only one in Florida.
D.O.E Approved Executive Protection Training – Additionally, ESS Global Corp is one of only two known Executive Protection Schools that have been approved by the D.O.E. In most every state, there is no oversight, no boards, no licenses or certifications. So no one oversees the trainers or what is being taught. With Department of Education oversight, you know another set of eyes has approved and certified both the training and the trainers.
Real World Experience – In the world of executive protection training, sometimes a school is just that. A school. While they may have been active in the industry at one point, they are no longer actively practicing Executive Protection. ESS Global has current real world experience in over 60 countries, and at any given moment is currently on detail, protecting someone (or something) from harm.
Active Shooter Training – ESS Global is the only Executive Protection School making use of the VirTra Simulator here in Tampa Florida. This is 1 of only 2 pubic installations of the VirTra (Virtual Training) in the entire country for “active shooter training”.

Executive Protection Certification
Course Materials (Text Book, Hand Outs, etc)
The FBI Uniform Crime Reports consistently indicate the majority of police officer involved shootings occur between 18:00 and 02:00, which typically occur under reduced lighting or in conditions where no light is present. Human night vision is poor, so we depend heavily on artificial light in conditions with little or no other illumination.
With critical input from certified trainers at major law enforcement agencies around the globe, Armament Systems and Procedures (ASP), one of the leading manufacturers of law enforcement products, has developed a first of its kind training course that integrates flashlights.
