Not every #ExecutiveProtection team gets to train with the firm that wrote the standard. Now they do. ✍🏼 GDBA has spent 40 + years protecting the world's most prominent public figures. In that time, we've worked alongside and assessed EP teams across the world, and we’ve discovered the same thing: Capable people. Good instincts. And a gap in training they couldn’t fix on their own. So we built the program specifically for them. Our 2-Day Advanced Training covers EVERYTHING the job actually demands. Here’s just a few to highlight 👇🏼 ✔ Protective & projective positioning ✔ Emergency medicine ✔ Venue advances ✔ Arrivals & departures ✔ Use of force + stress inoculation ✔ The ACTUAL subtleties that matter And the rest? You’ll have to find out and experience this EXCLUSIVE training yourself. Attendance is selective. Seats are limited. A certificate in Public Figure Protection is awarded upon completion.
