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. 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.
