Program Mission & Standards

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide premier training for those called to voluntary service as Security or Executive Protection Agents within their church, school, or other Christian organizations. We are dedicated to delivering a rigorous, high-value educational experience that equips students to serve the Lord through professional, non-compensated safety ministry.

Instructional Delivery

Based in Henderson, Nevada, our institution provides a flexible, modern learning environment. While our core curriculum is delivered through web-based platforms and email, the physical training environment is adaptable—ranging from independent study at home to instructor-led sessions at your own facility.

Technical Requirements

To fully engage with our curriculum, students will need a reliable computer or laptop. The program features a variety of integrated video modules and live internet-based presentations designed to expand upon the syllabus. We strongly recommend a quality sound system or headphones to ensure an optimal learning experience during these presentations.

Academic Standards & Achievement

We maintain high standards to ensure every graduate is prepared for the responsibilities of protection.

• Course Progress: Students must demonstrate consistent, satisfactory progress across all disseminated materials.

• Final Examination: Graduation requires the successful completion of a comprehensive written final exam.

• Certification: A minimum passing grade of 80% is required to successfully graduate from the program.
