Course Description

  The Dignitary Protection Studies Program and Executive Protection Training course are designed for those who will supervise, execute, or support diplomatic and executive protection operations for diplomats, elected and public officials, members of the court, candidates for office, corporate executives, and private individuals. The ISA program traditionally takes approximately 70-80 hours over 7 days to facilitate; however, it has a modular design to allow instructors to modify, add/substitute, or modify slides/exercises/presentations based on the students’ or organization’s local requirements, provided all the mandatory topics as required by the accreditation and state regulatory bodies are satisfied.

 Students will learn about the mission and purpose of the protective detail or agent, the fundamental principles, and the terminology used in protective operations for both the public / government and private sectors. They will gain a thorough understanding of executive protection, its underlying philosophy, and the essential elements of protective operations, including the threat assessment and Intelligence process, risk and threat mitigation planning, physical/residential protection, secure transportation/movement planning and operations, advance work, basic team management and communications, and the techniques or methods used in daily operations to include foot movement, reaction to threats/situations, basic emergency medical care/response, de-escalation and avoidance.

 Students will also gain an understanding and demonstrate the methods and procedures used to manage protective operations, with a strong emphasis on the concept of protection in depth. They’ll learn how to build a relationship with the person being protected, as well as with their fellow agents, and will be able to explain and apply the ethical and legal principles that guide executive protection.

 Course Expectations

 For a full seven-day course, you should expect to spend about 60-70 hours of the week participating in class/field discussions, activities, and practical exercises, and 30-45 minutes after class in study, assigned reading, and preparation for the next day’s assignments. 

Student Learning

 Student learning is ultimately the goal of any instructional program, so instructors will use different methods to help students retain this material.  One method is to assign students to give or assist with a topic of discussion or a practical exercise.  Student-led training is 90% effective in retaining information.

Participating in Hands-on training and live exercises is stressed over simply presenting information by PowerPoint; this method is known to be 75% effective, but 92% of students report that this method of learning is preferred above all others.

Group discussions facilitated by the instructor are approximately 50% effective. So, we will combine all three methods and try to avoid “death by PowerPoint”. 

Note: Students may experience information overload; this is a normal phenomenon. However, instructors will also be changing schedules, training methods, verbal pitch, tone, and volume. They may assign exercises for students to complete before being taught how to perform the assigned task. Time constraints and confusion are part of the curriculum. You’re going to be stressed

Student Responsibilities (To avoid the above)

• Be professional at all times; Avoid conduct likely to bring discredit upon this program, your agency or company.
• Recognize when you’re not fully understanding something or caught up and request assistance as needed. ASK QUESTIONS
• Be motivated, maintain a positive attitude, and fully participate in all classroom discussions and small group exercises.

Expected Student Participation

1. Class Discussions.
2. Fully engages in daily discussions.
3. Makes contributions relevant and productive.
4. Actively takes part in group discussion settings.

Note: Participation in classroom discussion is required – and evaluated.

2. Group Contribution.

Note: Failure to contribute may result in being removed from training.

1. Contributes to the small working group collaboration.
2. Participates in the development of products.
3. Participates in briefing small group assignments.
4. Individual Contribution.
5. Participates in briefing individual assignments when selected.

Classroom Rules of Engagement (ROE)

1. Respect your classmates.
2. This is your primary location. Be on time for the start of class and when returning from breaks.
3. Cell phones must remain silent or turned off during class. The instructor may approve case-by-case exemptions.
4. Laptop screens will be down during all VIP briefings.
5. Do not text or email during class. During class, do not surf the web unless the subject matter material is directly related to course content.
6. Secure your weapons before entering the classroom. The instructor may approve case-by-case exemptions.

Course Format

The Executive Protection Training course comprises 70-80 hours of material delivered over 7 days in an on-site classroom setting; starting at 8:00 AM each day, with a one-hour lunch break. Each day begins with an introduction to that day’s modules and a review of the previous day’s content, followed by coverage of the first topic of the day.

Course Policies

Academic Dishonesty

Cheating is a serious moral violation and can lead to the student being removed from the program. Students are responsible for maintaining the academic integrity of the program by refraining from acts of cheating, either directly or indirectly, and by discouraging others from doing so. 

No student shall-

1. Give or receive any assistance or communicate in any way with another student while an examination is in progress.
2. Use unauthorized notes, books, or other materials during an examination.
3. Attempt to obtain or disseminate the content of any examination before its distribution by the proctor.
4. Procure or distribute answers to examinations in advance.
5. Students who engage in academic dishonesty will receive a grade of zero for assignments.

Academic Instructions

Written Assignments 

1. Written assignments must be the product of the student’s own research. No student shall submit work that has been written by someone else or copied from an outside source.
2. No student shall submit work that has been previously submitted in whole or in part for academic credit; this is termed “self-plagiarism.”
3. Late assignments may not be accepted; if accepted, points will be deducted.

Attendance

  All students enrolled in an approved training session are required to attend all scheduled hours, unless they have received a partial exemption from the department. Tardiness and absenteeism are not permitted. Anyone violating these rules will be required to make up any missed training. All training must be completed within six months before applying for registration or certification. Students who do not finish the required training within this period must repeat the entire training session.

• All classes are mandatory; LE exceptions must be pre-approved.
• If a student is absent for more than 2 hours, the student may be released from the course.
• Students are required to come to class on time.
• Three late reports may be counted as one absence from class.

• Threat Assessment P.E. 30%
• Advance work, security plan P.E. 20%
• Personal conduct and participation 30%
• Capstone 20%
• End of course test (Min. score: 70)

* Please note that some accreditation agencies have different requirements for graduation.

Testing and Evaluation

A check-on learning examination or exercise shall be administered after each training session. The examination shall be based on the applicable learning objectives. The student must attain a minimum grade of 70% and pass any applicable practical exercises to satisfactorily complete the training session.

ISA Examination Policies

1. No student may remove an exam from the classroom under any

As required by section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, reasonable accommodations are provided to ensure equal opportunity for students with verified disabilities.

Physical Conditioning:

 This course requires a high degree of physical fitness. Students must run, jump, and wear protective equipment (such as body armor and ballistic eye protection), and may come into contact with other students or instructors during training.

 Students with medical conditions that prohibit them from taking part in physically demanding training or exercises are not authorized to attend the course. The Director of Training must approve a waiver request before the attendee can attend.

Dress code

 During class, students are expected to dress in business casual attire, which typically includes a button-down or polo shirt and slacks. However, T-shirts, workout, and tactical gear are allowed during tactical exercises. For the capstone exercises, students may need to wear a suit and tie.

Non-Graduate Policy

 Individuals who do not fulfill the minimum required training standards during the session will not receive a training completion form or certificate.

Expulsion Policy

 Each person attending an approved training session shall follow the regulations set by the board and any other rules within the training school’s authority. If the training school director or instructor considers a violation of the rules harmful to the training of other students or involves cheating on exams, they may expel the individual from the school. Notification of such action shall be immediately reported to the employing firms and the department.
