Executive Protection Training Washington, D.C.
Close Protection and Bodyguard Classes
October 23 - 26, 2025
Start Your Executive Protection Career
We are having our second Executive Protection Course of 2025 this fall in Washington, D.C., our hometown. It always feels great to host our protection classes in the city where it all started and to give back to the town that has its roots entrenched in Executive Protection.
MVP has been recognized by the Washington Post as the top Executive Protection School in America, with sold-out executive protection courses in every city where we host our classes. And our reputation for quality close protection is growing simply because we don't provide fluff in our training programs or marketing strategy. Like providing false promises to draw students in, or lying about the number of people we put to work, or about having an accredited program like every other executive protection school on the market does. We provide quality training from real-world instructors, equipping you with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in the executive protection industry.
We are not gatekeepers; we are a gateway. Start your Executive Protection Career today by signing up at the link below.
All New Hybrid Classes
The point of using dummy text for your paragraph is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters. making it look like readable English.
In January of 2025, we launched our hybrid executive protection classes to improve learning efficiency. Students now spend three days online studying our executive protection course with elite instructors specializing in executive protection. The close protection curriculum covers the history of Executive Protection, Security Advances, Risk and Threat Assessments, Surveillance and Counter-Surveillance, and Contracts and Legal Issues.
On the first day of our in-person class, we conduct a brief review to reinforce what was learned in our online executive protection modules. Followed by a classroom lecture on executive protection formations, attacks on principal drills, and assassination reviews. The next three days are dedicated to hands-on instruction where you get to practice writing security operations plans, advance reports and risk assessments, route planning, hands-on medical emergency training, close-quarter combat, principal movements, protective service detail formations, and attack on principal drills.
An Executive Protection career can take you places you never imagined, and we want to get you started off in the right direction.
Executive Protection jobs are rewarding and can have many perks including:
- Opportunities to protect major corporations, high-profile executives and VIPS
- Meet very important people
- Travel all over the world
However, job success depends on the investment that you make in your executive protection training program. The knowledge and skills that you learn in close protection training translate into value when security companies and employers look to hire professional security agents. Your skills and knowledge in VIP protection will also allow you to perform at a high-level to keep your clients safe.
If you are absolutely new to the executive protection business, have some experience but have never been to an Executive Protection School, it is time to get serious. If you would like to protect corporate executives, politicians, A-List celebrities, and other high profile individuals you are going to need some security credentials behind you. Clients and close protection companies demand it.
