Minimum requirement is completed first education (completed apprenticeship, middle-school diploma) and minimum age of 18.
In this case your age is decisive. If you are older than 18, there should be no problem.

It is free for employees. The basic training (called basic training course) is free of charge for you as well all the other advanced special training courses (in some cases you are obliged to fulfil a certain period of employment).
The training is executed by instructors of the Swiss Professional Security Academy (SBSS), the training academy of Securitas AG. The training sessions are held regionally in various locations or centrally.

In order to become a close protection specialist (bodyguard) completed basic and special training, physical fitness as well as several years in service are required. Moreover, you need suitable character traits for this kind of work.
Yes, you do. Basic fitness and physical health are mandatory. A lot of assignments require remaining in a standing position for long periods of time, walking considerable distances and/or coping with physically demanding situations. Fitness can be acquired during training – and is tested every year depending on the operational function.
In special operational functions endurance, strength and fitness are tested. Securitas AG provides training facilities free of charge and offers group training depending on the Regional Branch.
Our possibilities in this area are very limited due to our kind of services. This would have to be examined in each individual case.
