Training: Detail Leader’s Course–International Training Group

     All I can say is that ITG provides a quality course of instruction, and this particular course should be outstanding.( I have not attended this course for the record)  This is the kind of stuff that I have continued to harp on ever since I started this blog, and it is really cool to finally see some courses like this pop up. Good leadership requires a mastery of the basics, and a dedication to continuous improvement. A course like this will give you some solid cement for a foundation in security contracting and executive protection leadership.

     I am also giving a big Feral Jundi thumbs up to the International Training Group, and I can’t recommend their Executive Protection course enough. It is a course that has paid for itself in more ways that one over the years, and it has been an excellent foundation to my career as a security contractor.  Follow the links below to apply, and give them a call to learn more. –Matt

 COURSE PREREQUISITES: The Detail Leader’s Course is designed to provide executive and dignitary protection professionals with the communications and management skills necessary for advancement within their field of endeavor and the knowledge necessary to successfully assume and excel in leadership positions within any protective services organization. It is about communication, planning, organizing and reporting of information, and developing personal leadership skills. This is NOT a basic training program. Students will be expected to understand protective methodology and be familiar with industry vernacular prior to attendance. The ITG® Executive Protection Agent’s Training Course and/or other similar training from a credible government agency or private sector training program will be considered prerequisites for this course.

STUDENT EQUIPMENT: All prospective candidates must bring a fully functioning laptop computer with Microsoft® Office software programs Word, Excel, and Power Point® installed. A drawing program of some sort is also required (the instructional staff will be utilizing Microsoft’s Visio®) to illustrate methodology during this training course. The 2007 versions of these programs will be used during the course. Personal Computers, not Macintosh computers are used by the instructors. Students may attend with MAC computers and/or earlier versions or other programs of relevant software but should be aware that they will be responsible for extrapolating the instruction and software commands to their particular software requirements. MAC users should insure that they are using the Intel® driven systems versus the older Motorola chip configurations and have the latest operating system updates. A computer mouse, mouse pad, and portable printer are highly recommended but not required.

Jobs: Contingency Special Operations Team, OCONUS

     Blackice Security put this one out, and I figured I would get on the band wagon and put it out as well.  My guess is that there will be a huge requirement for bodies on this contract, and many companies are looking at those numbers and making their moves.

     As for VxL?  I have never heard of them, so job seekers beware.  They have provided a phone number and email, so feel free to contact them if you have questions.  I would also be curious if any of the readership have some input about the company?

     I am not the POC or recruiter for this company, and please follow the directions and links below to apply.  Good luck and let me know how it goes. –Matt
