Real-World Training. Real Industry Exposure.

The 5-Day CPP Advanced Fundamentals Program is an intensive, immersive training experience designed for individuals looking to build practical capability and gain exposure to the realities of Close Personal Protection (CPP) operations.

Developed and delivered by the Empire Institute, this program has been shaped by years of delivering bespoke CPP training globally — with a clear focus on building capability, creating opportunities, and connecting people within the industry.

Train in an Operational Environment

This program is centred around real-world immersion.
