Can You Combine the Close Protection Operatives Course with the Security Driver Enhancement Course?
Yes. Panoptic sells the two courses as a joint package. That means the Close Protection course and the Security Driver course, together. This suits people who want both skill sets. Ask Panoptic direct for current prices and dates.
Why do both courses together?
Close protection work often needs driving too. A team may need a driver and CP staff on the same job. Learning both skills makes you more useful on site. It can also open up more jobs once you finish.
What do past students say about the driver course?
Past students speak highly of the driver training. One graduate, with a former ADF close protection background, said the driver course matched government-level instruction. Another, a current ADF member, praised the instructor team’s skill and focus. This gives you a sense of the standard behind the joint package.
What comes with the joint package?
You get the full Close Protection Operatives Course. You also get the full Security Driver Enhancement Course. The exact plan, price and dates depend on your choice. Ask Panoptic direct. These details are not all listed on the site.
How do you book the joint package?
Start by contacting Panoptic direct. Ask about the joint package. Tell them your preferred dates for both courses. Panoptic’s team will then walk you through price and payment.
Where do graduates work?
Panoptic trains staff on the Gold Coast. Graduates then work in cities right across Australia. Many work in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Others work in Newcastle, the Sunshine Coast, Wollongong, Geelong, Townsville and Darwin.
