Course Description
The British Krav Maga Advanced Close Protection course is a 19 Day reality-based course designed to provide a practical ‘on the job’ experience and training. Class time is minimised with a strong emphasis placed on practical training and live missions to achieve core competencies.
The Advanced Close Protection Course includes the most comprehensive Close Quarter Combat training package in the UK.
Course Structure
The Course is divided into 3 working modules.
Mandatory Modules
The Mandatory module covers SIA requirements, portfolio and written exam.
Advanced Modules – Counter Surveilance
Working above the SIA requirements, candidates are taken through live drills and advanced counter surveilance including driving, walking and electronic counter measures.
Advanced Modules – Close Quarter Combat Modules
The most detailed course of it’s type in the UK, 40+ hrs professional coaching in personal and 3rd party skills with accreditation from British Krav Maga.
Course pre requisties
- A good standard of written and spoken english
- A clean driving licence (3 points or less)
- 24 years or older
- Criminal Record/DBS check
Experience within the military or security industry would be an advantage, it is however not a requirement for attendance.
Fitness testing and assessment
Fitness testing is NOT an SIA requirement. However, poor fitness negatively impacts a close protection officers ability to perform their duties under stress. As an effective operative, candidates should be able to pass a basic fitness test to demonstrate their capacity to physically perform under stress.

Close Quarter Combat Skills Module 40 hrs (Advanced Module)
Most close protection course providers do not possess the skill or expertise to deliver a credible close quarter combat skills element to their course. Coupled with the requirements of extra time and cost, providers simply avoid this area or provide a very basic element of physical skills training. At British Krav Maga we believe this is unacceptable in an industry where the very job title is Close ‘Protection’ Officer. In short, if all else fails a Close Protection Officer should be competent to actually protect their principle.
British Krav Maga has a unique and unparalleled expertise in this area and has delivered training at a national level since 2010 in addition to delivering Military Krav Maga and Civil Krav Maga Instructor certification.
What is included
- Personal Protection Training – including strikes, releases and weapons defences
- Tactical considerations and the use of environment/improvised weapons
- 3rd party protection against a diverse range of armed and unarmed attacks
- Firearms and edged weapons defensive techniques
- Full adrenalised scenarios against padded attackers and live tactical training
- Live firearms training
The British Krav Maga Close Quarter Combat Skills module is highly demanding and is the most credible Defensive Tactics qualification for the Close Protection Industry at over 40 hrs. .
British Krav Maga will provide a Krav Maga Close Quarter Combat Certifiction to those demonstrating competence in this module.
Live Firearms Training (Advanced)
Delivered as part of the Close Quarter Combatives Skills module, British Krav Maga covers Firearms, and hostage scenarios. Training introduces firearms survival, disarming assailants at close quarters and subsequently moves onto a section 5 recognised range where live fire training is conducted by specialist tutor.
Live firearms training is conducted by Brian Smith, a former Royal Marines, Specialist Weapons and Tactics Instructor and current Maritime Security Firearms Instructor.
All live firearms training is conducted in an appropriate facility complying with UK firearms legislation.
Note: This is NOT a Hostile Environment Firearms Course.
