SIA Level 3 - Work Prospects within the Close Protection Industry

Securing work after completing the course is a concern for many. As with any industry it is impossible for anyone to guarantee work on completion of a course before you have even begun it.

While we cannot guarantee you employment we do guarantee that the work is out there. We are still in contact with many of our students and know that they are working.

We will cover employment with you as part of the course including agencies and companies that actively recruit our students and give you all the help and support you need to make that transition from student to employed Close Protection Officer. The quality of training we provide ensures you have the best possible chance of gaining your first job in Close Protection.

On any course you choose to do with Wilplan Training you will be taught by experienced trainers with 'hands on' knowledge allowing us to provide you with personalised and professional training that can only enhance both your professionalism and career prospects. Our instructors are also still active within the industry so they are of course best placed to advise you on employment and they themselves are often asked to provide personnel for various roles.

We have also recently launched our very own forum for existing and former Close Protection course attendees which gives you your very first networking opportunity. Some of our course attendees now have their own businesses and we encourage them to post available job opportunites on the forum for you.

You will also be added to our company database and told of any work as and when it comes in, likewise you will be encouraged to keep close contact with those on the course not only through the forum but personally as well as this can often lead to employment through word of mouth.

Pay
How much can I earn is often one of the first questions we are asked and the answer depends on various things such as:
1. How long the contract is for
2. Who the Client or Company is
3. Where your contract is
4. Your experience and or qualifications

Close Protection Officers without experience will normally start on RST (Residential Security Team) & low level security. For these types of roles you can expect to earn £100 - £200 a day.

For high risk areas and roles of responsibilities you can expect to earn between £200 and £500 a day however again depending on the variables mentioned above rates can exceed £500.

We pride ourselves in giving our students as much support as possible before, during and after the course. You can contact any of our team by calling us directly on 0845 009 5647 for advice whenever you need it. You can also register on our forum which will offer you your first networking opportunity with previous course students.
