What are the necessary requirements to work as a bodyguard?
BELOW ARE SOME OF THE MOST OBVIOUS REQUIREMENTS TO WORK AS A BODYGUARD! Even if you can answer positive about every requirement, IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL QUALIFY AS A BODYGUARD..
You'll discover that in any profession there are definite answers to questions like this. Most of the answers while true, are nothing more than BS. REQUIREMENTS, SUCH AS THE BELOW, are useless because it is possible to go through them one by one and feel, "I've just read #1, and I meet that qualification." And then do the same for number two, number three etc. So why ask the question which, bottom line, is nonsense. To illustrate, what requirements must I have to be a musician. There are several answers: 1) you must be a high school graduate, 2) you must have taken two courses in music, 3) you must be able to read music, 4) you must be cooperative, ambitious, and get along well with people, you must have completed a course in the History of Music. None of these will turn you into a musician!
REQUIREMENTS TO BE A BODYGUARD - (Even if you have a positive answer for each requirement below, it still doesn't mean you will ever work as a bodyguard.) Schools are possible for only one reason: there's a certain "mind set" we are taught that is far from true. It is a myth perpetuated by our culture. It commenced with "get your high school diploma and you will be successful" and today, "Obtain a GED and you'll find a job. This myth tells us, that if you want to be a model, an actor, a musician, a bodyguard, or a computer programmer all you have to do is attend a school, the more expensive the better, and you will be successful in whatever course you have taken. It follows: that all you need is a Certificate from a school to be a working professional. It's different as a bodyguard: It's hard to believe that any client would want to hire a beginning bodyguard whose only qualification is the fact he's just graduated from a "Bodyguard School."
STILL HERE IS A LIST OF REQUIREMENTS
1. Be in good Physical Condition; in that persons who are excessively overweight, or who have respiratory or heart problems or who have high blood pressure or other physical problems which would keep them from engaging in strenuous or physically challenging activities are not normally capable of performing the job of an Protection Specialist. Vision should be easily correctable to 20/20. Although age requirements are not specifically set the average is from 21 to 55. More important than the age of the Protection Specialist is their physical condition, their training and experience.
2. The psychological makeup of the Protection Specialist is also of prime importance. The candidate must be mature and precise in his ability to quickly and correctly assess a situation and respond in the proper manner as dictated by the situation at hand. He should not be overly aggressive, hostile or moody, nor should he be slow to respond or correctly adapt to quick changes in any given situation or emergency. A high degree of dedication to duty and cause is a must for the successful executive protection specialist. The ability to perform under adverse and dangerous situations is mandatory.
3. The Protection Specialist must have the training and aptitude in which he can defend himself and his client and have knowledge of disarming and defensive techniques which would enable him to defend himself and his client in both armed and unarmed situations and at the same time be able to maintain control of a perpetrator until the proper authorities are notified and arrive.
4. Even though the following techniques are secondary to Non-Confrontational Skills, training and practice in the following are considered mandatory for the Executive Protection Specialist. You do not have to attend a very expensive Bodyguard School to learn these. You can usually find training in your own city. If you need hand-to-hand combat enroll at one of your local martial arts school and take the basis self-defense course.
a. defensive tactics
b. weapons use
c. driving skills (if driving is required of the Executive Protection Specialist)
d. first aid and CPR techniques
e. communication skills
These skills must be practiced until they become instinctive and they should be developed to the greatest level of each candidate and in the event of a lack of ability in any of these areas an Executive Protection Specialist should seek remedial training. Having even the basic skills in the hands-on techniques will do a lot for any individual's self-confidence.
5. If you are not an expert marksman possessing the ability to accurately and quickly utilize a weapon go to a local range and enroll in a course - and then practice.
The position of Executive Protection Specialist may indeed be one of the most dangerous careers in the world and for that reason only a few elite individuals possess the necessary awareness and determination that it takes to become accomplished in the required skills and possess the attitude and demeanor to become competent in this position.
If you do possess the vital skills and psychological requirements for this dangerous profession, an elite career position may be available to you as a Protection Specialist with all the benefits, glamour and challenges that this unique position entails. Dedication and a strong will are two of the most important requirements and if you do not possess these characteristics then no amount of training or practice will make you a good Protection Specialist.
Your employment in the field of Protection Specialist will be limited only by the required drive and determination that you possess. You are your best friend and your own worst enemy when it comes to taking the skills you have learned and the qualities you possess and then approach a potential client when seeking a position as a Protection Specialist. The proper attire, approach and demeanor may give the edge needed to "get the job" to a less experienced individual over that of a highly trained, somewhat arrogant retired Federal Agent, police officer or whoever. Be the best that you can be and if the first position you get is not exactly what you want double your effort and become better trained, more experienced and better skilled in your field and you will succeed. Note: see Lesson 10 in OMNI's Study Program for info on how to approach a client and handle an interview. Note: the writer answering this question would use this set of requirements if he owned a bodyguard school. Then he could say, our school teaches how to do all these requirements, so you will be a professional bodyguard.
As a Protection Specialist you will be required to complete many tasks and have many responsibilities. The following list is a summation of some of the responsibilities you will have in the protection of your client.
1. Stay awake and aware or the changing circumstances and plan ahead so you may avoid problem areas.
2. Pre-plan a course of action as you continually re-assess the situation.
3. The hands of the persons near your client are always the greatest threat and as such you should always watch their hands and plan defensive countermeasures. "If you can't see their hands expect trouble".
4. If a close-in attack occurs then attack the weapon of the perpetrator and in doing so you may defeat the purpose of the attack.
5. Do not look directly at a suspicious person as this may result in the person attacking outside your zone of control and enable the perpetrator to successfully carry out the attack. Use your peripheral vision to keep the suspect in sight and you will not signal your scrutiny to the suspect.
6. When a potentially hazardous situation arises you should immediately escort your client from the scene to a predetermined location of safety and stay in concealment until such danger has passed.
7. Don't engage in any Confrontation. If you do, how can you know what is happening to your client during this time. The Protection Specialist should quickly escort the client from the danger while another confronts the attacker.
8.Be alert for covert diversions which may be a ploy to attack your client. (For instance: a loud commotion nearby.)
9. When people want to see your client, double-check to ensure they are among those who have the right to access of the client.
10. Protection Specialists should develop both a verbal and non-verbal method with which to maintain communications with themselves and their client to relay information on the changing circumstances.
11. A plan of the scenario at hand should include multiple escape routes and options and should be changed as necessary to stop potential perpetrators from seeing a pattern of protection develop and locations that are repeated.
12. Use of alternate routes to enter and leave a location should be random and change frequently. Alternate routes should be known to all members of the Protection Specialist team and should provide for non-emergency situations such as traffic problems as well as emergency situations.
13. The Protection Specialist should train the Client in basic survival techniques in a manner which shows the necessity of such training and actions for the survival of the client.
14.The client who is not willing to learn a few "tricks" which may save his life is few and far between.
This is one of the most often asked questions we receive; it is difficult to answer because there are no set answers. If there were "qualifications" the beginning bodyguard must have it would be easy; then, we could say the bodyguard must be 6' tall and weight 180; he must be a blackbelt martial artist an expert with weapons, have served at least 10 years as a U.S. Marine and five years as a police officer. This, if it were true, would make a good answer, fortunately it is not correct are there would not be many bodyguards in the profession. They'd all have to fit into a single definition - and they don't..
The reason it is incorrect is very few professional bodyguards meet this definition. Being a Black Belt Martial Artist does not turn an individual into a bodyguard; ten years as a marine can make a good marine, but not a bodyguard, Police Experience can make a man a good police officer, it does not turn him into a Professional Protection Specialist. Of course, any of these qualities can assist a bodyguard, but the skills required to be a marine or a police officer are only secondary skills for the Protection Specialist. The primary responsibility of the bodyguard is the skill of knowing how to work in a non-confrontational manner:. that is, keeping a client from harm's way, and assuring that he never sees an exchange of bullets or a hand-to-hand combat. To win a war without fighting a battle is the best way to win. This was the basic philosophy extolled by a 3000 year old book "The Art of War," written by Sun Tzu a Chinese philosopher.
Always remember, If your client ever sees a confrontation the bodyguard has failed in his first responsibility. This web site has been created by OMNI Institute of Protective Theory. This firm publishes a Home Training Program titled The Theory of Non-Confrontational Protection. If you desire to work as a professional we strongly suggest you order this program. Upon completion you will receive a Certificate. Check first question on this site; What is the most important skill for the bodyguard to develop? Included in the answer is first lesson of the OMNI Study Program. You'll enjoy it, it includes an analysis of the mistakes Kevin Costner made in the first few minutes of the Movie "THE BODYGUARD."
THE BEST QUALIFICATION YOU CAN HAVE COMES FROM YOU. If you have decided you would like to belong to the elite world of the bodyguard you probably already made the important decision: you want to be a professional Protection Specialist. If you do not, there'd be no reason for the question "what requirements do I have to have?" Secondly, if you didn't feel you had the qualifications, the awareness and physical abilities to take care of yourself and a client, you wouldn't be searching for a way into the profession.

WHAT ARE THE NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS TO BE A BODYGUARD? If you have asked this question we believe that you want to work in close-personal protection and earn the high fees that professional bodyguards make. Do you know what the most important requirement is, and it is one that few individuals even consider or place importance on. If you have asked this question you are probably wanting to make a CAREER CHANGE. This is very important time in your life. So understand the following. Are you just looking for a JOB CHANGE because you are tired of wasting your life in a boring, no opportunity job, and want something with meaning and enough income to support yours self and family? For instance, if you've been working as a commissioned security guard and earning 9.00 per hour, and decide you want to better yourself. You can change jobs by applying to another security organization. You might get another $1.00 per hour on your pay check. Is this what you want. If it is, you have what is almost a disease. You have acquired a JOB MINDSET it can cripple you. As long as you seek a JOB in security you will be held back by the "mindset." When you start looking for a "job" as a bodyguard, you'll discover it does not exist. Call the employment agencies in your area and tell them you are a professional bodyguard looking for a job. They might laugh at you and tell you Pinkerton Security Company is looking for security personnel, and if you should apply you'll discover you re right back into the "JOB MIND SET" Trap, and you have to escape it to work as a professional. This is true of any profession.
Consider: if you wanted to change careers and work in an area more fulfilling than what you've known, there's a problem. The best example, pretend that you have graduated from a Chiropractor's School. Everyone knows chiropractors earn good income. If you think in terms of a job, you can call the Chiropractors in your area, tell the owner that you are looking for a job; you'll quickly find that he has one available and it pays a very small hourly fee. On the other hand the Chiropractor who has the business may be making $150,000 per year or more. What's the difference, one is looking for a job, the other is a professional who has set up his own office, and the patient is his. He may have a patient who pays him thousands of dollars, and let you work on him - Do you think he will share the fee with you or increase your hourly pay? Of course not. The professional has a Career, the job holder has an hourly "guaranteed" salary. Of course, the hourly wage is "guaranteed," but who guarantees it -the professional who owns the business - and no one guarantees he's going to make $150,000 a year or more. And you ask a question: without a guarantee what will happen if the professionals business fails? He'll go broke and lose everything. The next question follows - if he goes bankrupt what happens to my guaranteed hourly wage? Your guarantee is good only as long as the professional can pay you.
BEAR WITH US HERE: This may be the most important question we've ever answered.
SECURITY GUARD? As a security guard you have been commissioned by the state so that you can work in security. Many of the states are now licensing bodyguards. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU - in short to work as a bodyguard you must be licensed. Then, the state requires you to take courses approved by them and by the time you have paid for the state approved training and the license fee you will have spent several hundred dollars. The same licensing laws that require a bodyguard license also states that you must work for an insured and licensed security company. The logical step then is to apply for a "job" at a security company. If they are willing to hire you as a bodyguard you'll discover the hourly fee may or may not be more than you were making as a security guard.
It's time to ask yourself another question. When the security company who has hired you as a bodyguard receives an assignment to protect a rich client - Do you think they are going to increase your pay and give you a large percentage of What the client pays them, or do you think the fee will go to the owner who is the only one who knows he is qualified to handle such an important assignment. He might let you handle part of the driving chores, but that will be it. This means you are a security guard who knows how to drive and earning a small hourly fee. Then you can brag to all your friends: I'm working s a bodyguard, I'm licensed you know.
