ISA Academy is the place where you learn more than just theory put into practice! The instructors will push your buttons to the limit, making these courses something you will almost daily use in life, regardless the line of work you're … More in. Being involved on the ground in Ukraine since week one, I am proud to say I had Leo Strand to advize me on a regulare base, and HEY! I'm still alive, so it worked! 🙂

Exceeded my expectations

With my experience in security matters, concerning military and governmental dignitaries, I affirm that the effectiveness of the training, and the methods taught on the ISA Academy is fully comparable with the level of governmental and presidential security. Out of all the courses I have attended throughout my career, the ISA Academy's BTP course is the one that stands out.

Course Description

The “BTP Course” provides an intensive instruction for attendees at the ISA Academy®. We are looking for individuals with the right attitude.

Our Director of Training, having more than 35 years of personal hands-on experience in executive security, is SAF trained and served as commissioned officer at several elite regiments. After a career in the army, with honorable discharge, (including five tours of duty at the Royal Castle as chief of the quick response unit), he has been assigned as Senior Executive in Charge at International Security Agency. During this time he has managed multiple protective operations in more than 30 countries around the world.

Our training facilities are administrated by the ISA Academy®. The “BTP Course” was originally designed for International Security Agency trainees only, but to the great demand we decided to open the academy to the public in 1995.

As you can see from our course description, we offer one of the most comprehensive Executive Protection Training Courses open to the public today. Our small class size ensures individual attention from instructors so that you can achieve outstanding training results in a reasonable time frame spent on site.

Your training will be spent practicing and studying a wide variety of tactical, protective and security related topics. The ISA Academy® curriculum also includes intensive training in defensive tactics, practical exercises and the use of firearms. Several tests will be administrated in all areas to monitor the progress of each attendee.

The ISA Academy’s “BTP Course” is recognized as one of the finest and most respected training courses in the world today, and is often attended by law enforcement, military and UN security personnel from all over the world.

ISA Academy® in addition offers “Contract Training Programs” (CTP), for government, UN, larger corporate and organizational customers. These customized training courses are uniquely designed for each customer and their specific work environment. “CTP courses” are arranged by appointment only, all year around.
