European Security Academy

In 2009, the organization was presented for the first time on the IWA trade fair in Nuremberg. From 2010-2012, the company was also presented on the LAAD fair in Brazil, Milipol in Qatar, and on the Defence EXPO in Thailand.[5][6]

In 2010, the European Security Academy organised comprehensive training for the Libyan Government Protection Bureau. It was a four-month project preparing agents for their service for the state VIPs, including Muammar Gaddafi and members of his family.[7][8]

In 2013, Discovery Channel broadcast the program Secret World of Bodyguards. It included six episodes showing training activities in the European Security Academy. One year later, Canal+ broadcast another ten episodes of the series titled Elite Bodyguards, which is a sequel of Secret Bodyguards, showing activities of the ESA trainers and trainees in operations all over the world – among others in Iraq, Brazil, Colombia, or the Gulf of Aden.[9][10]

The European Security Academy is accredited by the British awarding bodies such as City & Guilds, Pearson or Highfield.[11][12]

ESA trains police officers and soldiers and has trained units from the European Union, such as a hit squad of the military police from Poland or the Dutch hit squad BSB-KMAR.[13][14][15]
