Executive Protection Training — Common Questions
What is executive protection training?
Executive protection training is the discipline of learning to protect VIPs, executives, celebrities, and government principals from threats including assault, ambush, kidnap-for-ransom, and active-shooter scenarios. At Israeli Tactical School, executive protection training is built on Shin Bet protective doctrine and delivered through live-fire team operations, motorcade tactics, CQB, helicopter operations, and counter-surveillance — not classroom lectures.
What does Israeli Tactical School teach?
Israeli Tactical School (ITS) teaches four progressive tiers of executive protection training: the 9-day Corporate & Celebrity Protection course (entry-level EP), the 15-day Protective Security Detail (PSD) course (advanced team-based EP for hostile environments), the 21-day Ultra Protection course (UHNW principals at head-of-state operational standard), and the Head of State Protection Program (full multi-layer protective architecture for presidential and royal details).
Who is Tomer Israeli?
Tomer Israeli is the founder and head instructor of ITS. He is a former Sayeret Matkal (Israel's Delta Force equivalent) and Sayeret Golani Orev Captain, Shin Bet (ISA) certified, served as Captain & EP Team Leader at the Embassy of Israel in Washington D.C.
