Day 1 complete.
So far the class is an interesting mix of individuals already in the industry and newcomers, current law enforcement and ex-military. Should be interesting to see how this dynamic plays out.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed being a part of the November 09′ Celebrity & VIP Protection Training class. Elijah you, Justin, and Mike are very professional and have one of the best training courses I’ve ever attended. Although I came into your class with a law enforcement background you never can learn too much. Thanks for accepting me into your training class and it was a pleasure learning from you guys. I hope in the near future to be steadily working in the Personal Protection field. Again thanks for the awesome training.
Sincerely,
Jason C. Williams
Jason, the training staff is in agreement that you did an excellent job during the November VIP Protection Course. We’re glad to consider you an Alumni!
Jason, Welcome to the family!!!
I have been to alot of training, and What Icon gives during this 5 day course is truly the best training I’ve ever attended. The days are disciplined into different segments so you never get to relaxed in a chair, which is great for the person who wants to get their money’s worth out of the training. If you’ve been in the industry or are just starting out, this is a course I suggest you attend. The class I attended had all walks of life, and so many different backgrounds, Former Law Enforcement, Military, security, and a 6 year executive Protection business owner.
I hope to one day work next to these men from Icon, thats how I know I’ve made it in the industry.
