supra steveo Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I've wanted to do this for years now but injurys have held me back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I would think that jobs would go initially to ex-police and ex-military. Secondly, perhaps be careful to not part with too much money for a "course" Research research research etc... it looks like you are btw Edit: Mind you, I last looked at this in the early 90's.

Guest samurai infidel Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I am currently doing CP work in Iraq mate. The first question would be,whats your background? As has already been said, most companies go for ex mil or police, with operational tours under your belt. Just doing a Hostile CP course isnt enough. what courses,if any have you looked at?

I am currently serving in 3 Para been in seven years now been Iraq/Afgan, The big Q is what course to do? A few mates have just done the control risks course and now working in Oman protecting tankers from Somali pirates, He said its boring stagging on and the food is crap but for the cash who cares.

supra steveo Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 think they would rather just be stagging on than trying to dig a shell scrape with their eyelids on the deck of a tanker, a few lads i used to work with have said that Ronin did a good course, i was looking into to transfering to the RMP to get CP qual'ed up but i still dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest samurai infidel Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Ronin(south africa) and Pheonix in Hereford are the 2 main courses i believe. For most of the uk companies,an SIA CP licence is a must,shouldnt have to much trouble with a Para background.It might be worth sending your CV to some companies,you never know. I know that Sabre and G4S are currently recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
