Select-International

Select-International Training Institute was created to fill a void in the Executive/Dignitary Protection Training Industry.

Select-International was created to fill a void in the Executive/Dignitary Protection Industry. We have methodically spent a lot of time putting together a curriculum that evolves with the ever changing threats that face practitioners daily in the Close Protection Industry. We understand there is no be all, end all to training, but want to be a part of the solution as to how professionals are growing in the Industry.

Congratulations to Roberto Zavala on being the top graduate this week completing the Protective Detail Specialist Course.

With that comes, the Scholarship so graciously provided by Joe Autera, the President of Vehicle Dynamics Institute, in which he donates this to the top performer of each of our PDS Courses, in an effort to help propel someone’s career.

If you aren’t familiar with VDI, it is the goto Security driving school in the Industry. And in the end, I promise you will learn more than just driving!

Continuing an outstanding Saturday lineup on May 2, Eric Parker took the stage with his presentation on Identifying the Threat

Eric delivered valuable insight into recognizing warning signs, assessing potential risks, and understanding the importance of awareness in today’s ever-changing investigative and security landscape. A powerful and thought-provoking session that kept attendees engaged throughout!

It was very unfortunate that we had to drop a student from our program today. The student was having a hard time meeting the standards, so he was not allowed to complete the training program. We wish him the best, but the standard has to be kept.
