Yes. However, please be aware that an important part of the training involves safely transporting and driving with a principal under realistic day-to-day operational conditions.

We strongly recommend that anyone working in close protection hold a valid passenger vehicle driver’s license.

In principle, anyone may participate, provided they meet the required physical and psychological standards. Participants must also provide a clean German Certificate of Conduct (polizeiliches Führungszeugnis) with no criminal record entries.

Some training scenarios may take place in public environments. Please carry €20 in cash to cover incidental expenses such as purchasing a beverage or similar items during a scenario.

These expenses will not be reimbursed.

The course is highly intensive and requires a significant time commitment. During the nine training days, participants should expect to have very little free time beyond the training itself and the additional time required for studying and preparation.

Participants should:

  • Be capable of jogging at least 5 km (approximately 3.1 miles) continuously
  • Be capable of performing basic bodyweight strength exercises, such as push-ups
  • Have no physical conditions, impairments, or injuries that could interfere with participation

If you are unsure whether you meet the physical requirements, we recommend consulting your physician before attending the course.
