COURSE’S SCHUDLE

Introduction

PROTECTION & COUNTER TERRORISM SPECIALIZATION
For
ELITE PROTECTION TEAM LEADER
Principles of the Israeli Security Concepts for Protection and CT Measures

The Security Industry is undergoing a major transformation. Globalization and the proliferation of extremism has created a new reality. Parallel to this, there is a growing tendency by official authorities to transfer the responsibility for public security missions to civilian security companies / organizations, a responsibility traditionally held in the past by law enforcement sectors. This trend follows the government’s desire for a more efficient security apparatus and safer public environment. We are witnessing, and maybe even take part in, this unique process that is occurring in many countries.

Today, due to the high demand and need to privatize certain functions of government, the specialized field of protection services has become one of the fastest growing sectors. Countries, companies and organizations worldwide are currently reestablishing themselves to fill the void created in the security field.

For this trend to continue and help develop the Civilian Security Industry, we must provide more employment and career opportunities for veterans of various military, law enforcement establishments and PMC personnel.

We at International Security Academy – ISRAEL, that has specialized in the field of Protection & Counter Terrorism instruction since 1987, decided to approach and offer our unique qualification expertise and support all with a unique SPECIALIZATION package (Distance + Practical) – Principles of the Israeli Security Concepts for Protection and Counter Terrorism Measures, that will upgrade and enhance them professionally to fill the void in the various security fields.

95% of our graduates improved their status in the security industry!

Established and operate Security firms worldwide and can offer employment opportunities.
