Training location

The training takes place at a former army facility in a Suburb of Stuttgart in
Germany, which is ideal  for our training. Practical exercises take also place in cities.

Instruction methods

The theoretical part of the training is carried out with lectures, group discussions and goup-working.
Video documentations, slides, transparencies a variety of case studies of assassinations of the past
will be used. Various protection tactics will be explained with models. In the practical part of the
course you will train, consolidate and extend  what you learned during the lessons. In some sections
of the training participants will have to work out solutions on their own and will than discuss it with
the instructors. With the aid of video analyses we will check your movements in order to dispel mis-
takes you made.

During the training course we will increase the burdens and demands. We will bring you in stress
situations and you will be under a great deal of physical and psychological pressure.

A hit team, whose members are not known to the course participants, will try to commit an
attack on the protectee. The hit team will use surveillance in order to gather information
about the VIP and the protection measures. Based on this information they will try to carry
out the attack, according to methods used by terrorists worldwide.
After the exercise we will hold an extensive debriefing with the course participants. The
members of the hit team and the instructors will discuss with you mistakes and right beha-
viour of the protection detail.
