Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a close protection upskilling course designed for close protection officers with valid Security Industry Authority (SIA) Licenses. The Top-Up SIA Close Protection Course aims to equip learners with the essential skills and knowledge and update them on the latest license-linked qualification requirements.

Close protection and bodyguard services are closely related but differ in scope and approach. 
While both roles aim to protect individuals or groups, close protection involves a more comprehensive approach, while bodyguards focus primarily on personal safety and security.

Close protection encompasses a broader range of security measures, including threat assessment, risk management, and logistics planning. Close protection officers often work behind the scenes to ensure the safety of their clients. On the other hand, a bodyguard primarily focuses on physical protection and immediate security.
