PROTECT THE FUTURE AND POSITION YOURSELF FOR SUCCESS

Bodyguard jobs offer one of the most rewarding and personal employer-employee relationships available. Aptly defined as 'close protection' officers, a bodyguard protects the personal welfare of targeted individuals from assault, kidnapping, identity/property theft, assassination and general threats. While bodyguard jobs range from low to extremely high in risk, there is no doubt that employers are extremely selective in the recruitment of those charged with protecting their most important assets.

At even the lowest levels, bodyguards need basic certification and training; many self-select into the personal protection industry for the opportunity to protect high-level dignitaries, celebrities and corporate executives. While some bodyguards have a background in law enforcement or military training, experience in this field is not enough to set you apart from the crowd.

Beyond merely 'catching the bullet', today's bodyguards need to offer that rare mix of interpersonal and strategic skills that can only be achieved through advanced education. To be competitive, you need to display a detailed knowledge of protective security law and learn how to conduct operations that will not expose your client to legal or civil liability. Henley-Putnam University’s seasoned instructors train you through our distance learning platform to perform sophisticated analysis and evaluations of possible risks and respond effectively to mitigate emerging threats to your client.

Offering accredited Bachelor's and Master's advanced degree programs in the three key areas of Intelligence Management, Terrorism/Counterterrorism and Management of Personal Protection, Henley-Putnam is the clear choice for anyone considering bodyguard jobs. With classes ranging from executive protection and hostage negotiation/hostage survival to counterterrorism and workplace security, our Protection curriculum provides you with the management and leadership skills you need to be successful in the most elite bodyguard jobs.
