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.

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. Which is 1 of only 2 pubic installations of the VirTra (Virtual Training) in the entire country for “active shooter training”.

Train With The Best – ESS Global Corp
In most every state, there is no oversight of the Executive Protection Industry. No licenses, no state certifications.
Now, the requirements to enter the Executive Protection industry would be much easier if it were classified under the class D License, but at the same time, what types of individuals would now, by law, qualify to do Executive Protection work?
“Which defensive tactics work best?” This is a question that defensive tactics experts and bodyguard instructors have debated and continue to debate. But, in reality, the answer is simple. I don’t care what defensive tactics or martial arts discipline you train in or feel that you have mastered, because the answer is always the same. ALL experienced executive protection agents will agree that the best defensive tactic we have as agents, that will give us the greatest chance of survival and least chance of injury to us or our clients, is AVOIDANCE.
Part of the difficulty in the bodyguard/ close protection/ executive protection industry is in most states, there are no licensing or oversights involved. In short, this means anyone can “teach” anything. Maybe even teach practices that are inherently dangerous given there is no state governance.
Over the past decade, many schools and universities have gone “online”. While we have no doubt that that is a viable option if you are taking accounting courses, it certainly doesn’t apply to Executive Protection.
In our research, Executive Protection Training 3-day courses tend to run from $350 to a high of $1500.
The Only D.O.E. Certified Executive Protection School in Florida
At some point, anyone that wants to work in EP will need to attend a credible EP School. Here at ESS Global, we’ve spoke with ex-law enforcement, security guards, ex-military and more that heartily disagree with that statement. But when they attend our EP class they are in agreement. “I never knew any of that.”
At ESS Global Corp, we are aware that there are competitors who state that they offer similar Executive Protection Training Programs. However, our Executive Protection School in the only protection training facility certified and approved by the Department of Education in the state of Florida (and one of just a handful that are D.O.E. certified across the country). This also means our trainers are approved by the D.O.E. as well.
In Executive Protection the “hard” skills are often perceived as being that of a policeman or military. Though there are certain similarities; proficiency with handguns, hand-to-hand combat skills, etc.
Trustworthiness is one of the best traits an executive protection specialist can have. But it’s more than client trust. It’s also trust from teammates.
Directly to the CFO of the client’s company.
The ASP Basic Certification (ABC) is a 7-hour, hands-on seminar which trains participants in the operational use of the ASP Tactical Baton. The program is simple to learn and easy to understand. It provides effective defensive impact weapon tactics for law enforcement and private security personnel, as well as responsible civilians without long hours of training. The techniques were designed to work effectively for all users, male and female, large and small, fit as well as those in less-than-peak physical condition.
The techniques work on the street, not just in the classroom.
In the world of Executive Protection training, we often find a curriculum that is simply cribbed from who they learned from (and how long ago was that?).
What we find at ESS is that the best approach to Executive Protection Training is to cut “the fluff” and hammer on the basics. In other words, give you the tools to build a solid foundation in Executive Protection, without wasting your time learning “the fluff” used to extend training in order to justify a higher training price.
The ESS Global Training presents all the needed information to get started in Executive Protection in 3 days. The Tuition is $500.
