International Training Group™ (ITG™) March 2005 Courses

XKirian · January 13, 2005, 07:49 PM

I am very pleased to announce that The Steele Foundation's International Training Group™ (ITG™) has expanded our training courses for 2005 and we now offer a complete 21 day program. This is the first "open enrollment" training program we will be running this year.

Here is an overview of our March 05 Course.

..................................

THE STEELE FOUNDATION / INTERNATIONAL TRAINING GROUP

The Steele Foundation has set many industry benchmarks such as being the only private organization in the world to ever provide a full-time Presidential Protection Detail and Training Unit. As industry leaders servicing clients such as the Office of the President of three foreign countries and countless Fortune 100 companies, The Steele Foundation presents unparalleled experience and subject matter expertise in the fields of Executive / Dignitary Protection and Training. Based on this experience, The Steele Foundation’s International Training Group™ (ITG™) is defining new training standards, which reflect this same high caliber of expertise, organization, and professionalism. To clarify this point, our ITG™ Training staff just completed training a division of the US ARMY tasked with providing Diplomatic Security services in Iraq.

This is the same program that we put our agents through and is based on the above referenced Presidential Protection Training program which is founded in State Department Doctrine. It is an A-Z program and is geared towards someone looking to achieve a high level of operational skill in the protective services field. It is also the only private sector EP training program that includes a complete driver training program.

The program it's self is broken down into modules and runs from 12-21 days in it's entirety, depending on whether you do some or all the modules.

The modules are as follows; "Executive / Dignitary Protection Training Module 12-Days", "Basic Protective Firearms Training Module 2-Days", "Advanced Protective Firearms Training Module 2-Days", "High Risk Environment Training Module 2-Days ", and "Surveillance and Surveillance Detection Training Module 3-Days" = 21 Days Combined. You do not need to do all of the modules / 21 days, you can do one or two of modules if you choose, etc. We try to keep the program as flexible as possible.

The March 05 course will be held at the Alameda County Sheriff's Department Regional Training Center in Dublin, CA (which is 20 minutes east of San Francisco).

Our program is unique, not only because of the subject matter, but because of our instructors. The Steele Foundation’s International Training Group employs professional instructors from diverse professional and academic backgrounds such as military protection, intelligence and investigations units, Special Operations, Federal and State law enforcement agencies and Corporate Security. Our Instructors are the most highly trained and experienced Executive / Dignitary Protection experts teaching in the private sector today. As an example one of our lead instructors for our July Course is Jake Ashton. Mr. Ashton is currently one of the lead instructors for the US Army's CID Protection School.

The program is advanced and very hands on as it's about 70% practical and 30% classroom.

Our program is being reviewed in the an upcoming issue of SWAT magazine and our July program was reviewed by The History Channel's "Tactical Practical" which aired in October 04.

Finally, we are keeping the cost as low as possible to ensure that quality individuals are able to attend. Most programs are only 5 - 7 days or less and cost as much if not more then our program.
