Welcome to the Protective Services Academy
Protective Services Academy was launched in 2017 as a bespoke academic and personal development programme designed for 14-19-year-olds interested in a career one of the many protective services in the U.K such as Armed forces, Emergency Services, Prison Services and Border and Security Agencies. Our programmes will provide its recruits with a nationally recognised qualification as well as the knowledge, leadership skills and physical & mental robustness that will support them while joining the Protective Services, gaining employment/apprenticeship or moving on to university study.
The Protective Services Academy differs substantially from Public Services and military preparation courses offered in many colleges which often fail to effectively prepare individuals holistically for entry into the uniformed protective services either through too much focus on the academic qualifications (BTEC qualifications) or a narrow focus on a single protective service (military preparation).
