What does a former student from our latest CPO training say about Athena Academy?

What does a former student from our latest CPO training say about Athena Academy?
“I attended the CPO Level One Feb 2012 training, and left it much richer in knowledge and experience. Having had a former Law Enforcement Career I have attended and participated in many specialized courses in the past and found the training provided at Athena Worldwide Academy to be one of the “very special” ones. It’s organization is of a very high quality, well thought through and presented professionally. There are many “body guard” schools out there and claim to teach you all you need to know in a three day weekend including your photo op time, this is not one of those. If you are looking to collect a certificate and expect to sit and listen to someone tell you how great they are and ” I’ve worked for this celeb and that celeb”, then this is not for you.  If you expect to participate and demonstrate what you are learning in how to elevate this profession you are engaging in and not feed off of it, then this organization IS FOR YOU. I so look forward to my continued training and association with these professionals and proud to have trained at Athena Academy.”
M Sue Moyer, Athena Academy Graduated CPO Student, March 2012.

A must read article by Bethany Duggan from Executive Security International

We would like to take this chance and share with you an article written by Bethany Duggan from Executive Security International that we found very interesting and into the point.

Being in this industry it is very important to have professionals you admire and respect, people who have leading with the most professional way in security industry. Executive Security International has been in the field more than 30 years, and i had the privilege to talk and share opinions and experiences with some of their lead instructors. As Bethany is mentioning in her article, we must not see everyone in this industry as a competition but as a partner in a common vision: offering to new students high quality and real life training and most important support on their first professionals steps.

 

”Industry Schools, By Bethany Duggan”

Lately there has been a lot of talk going around about education for the security professional.  Everyone out there has his or her own personal favorite school, instructor and certification. Many of these people have their reasons: First, they attended that school, second they work for or are affiliated with the school and finally, (my personal favorite reason) they heard about the school as they worked with one of their graduates.

Regardless of the reason why you were recommended to a specific institution you should do your own research. A few items one may want to check off as they are doing their research include:

  • Who are their graduates, who do they work for and find employment with
  • Who are their instructors, are they active in the industry and what qualifies them to be your instructor
  • Longevity, how long have they been in the industry? You don’t want to attend an institution whose certification is going to be unheard of in five years.
  • Imitators, do others claim they are just like a school or do they attempt to say we are nothing like them and why?….
