COVERT EXECUTIVE PROTECTION | ADVANCED - LEVEL 02 (CEP-401) 

Covert protection is one of the fastest-growing specializations in corporate and UHNW security– simultaneously enhancing threat mitigation and protective capabilities, while providing principals and families with an unmatched feeling of personal freedom. The Level 02 Program, available exclusively to prior Covert Executive Protection Program graduates, is the only training of its kind in the private sector. Level 02 delivers unparalleled opportunities to develop and enhance high-demand covert protection skills, with wide-ranging applications in corporate, family office, law enforcement, and government protective operations.

Purpose

Available exclusively to graduates of the Level 01 Covert EP Training Program (CEP-301), the Advanced Level 02 Program (COV-401) builds upon baseline skills over an intensely challenging five-day training experience. Level 02 is designed for experienced executive protection agents and teams actively operating within a covert model, or shifting toward a covert model from more traditional overt or “low profile” protective operations.

This program teaches attendees how to conduct truly covert advances, how to plan complex covert protection operations, how to design long-term team/ unit strategies, and how to design and execute contingency plans in the field. The Level 02 Program provides the attendee with a deeper understanding of covert methodologies and planning, and incorporates increasingly

complex reality-based scenarios and field training exercises (FTXs) which will challenge every participant to push far beyond the current limits of their covert protection capabilities.

Who Should Attend?

This course is specifically designed for graduates of the Covert EP Level 01 Training Program (CEP-301), as well as individuals currently working in a covert protection capacity, team leaders and managers of active covert protection details/ units, and those who will be doings so in the near future. Comparable covert protection experience and training (whether government or private sector) will be considered and approved on an individual basis.
