Waste of money
SIA and Accreditation bodies need to investigate this company. They’re only interested in money nothing else. Several reports received by investigation and enforcement departments about conduct of taking money of vulnerable people with medical issues stating that they will qualify has CP operatives. Also in the middle of the course tell the students they’re not suitable and kick them of the course , no refund.

Antwoord van Phoenix
Avoid at all costs.
Having retired from the Police as a Firearms Officer I decided to contact Phoenix with a view to embarking on a Close Protection Course.
I read the refund policy before hand and was satisfied that the 14 day cooling off period was ideal should I change my mind. I was contacted by Phoenix and spoken to by Raj. I decided to pay a deposit of £1000 to secure a place on the April 2025 course. I subsequently decided not to undertake the course and cancelled, this all being within the 14 days cooling off period. This was at the end of December 2024. It is now over 3 months later and despite numerous Emails and phone calls they have yet to issue a refund. I have been told to Email the payments department numerous times with the only response being a generic automated reply. No body actually ever responds to the Emails. I have also been given the excuse that I was due the refund at the end of January but the payments system changed so it never happened. I am extremely disappointed in the un-professional way this company conducts itself in terms of it's refund policy so cant imagine how professional or un-professional the training is they deliver. I would say read the reviews before hand and select a company with a better reputation.
It has got to the point now that I have had to refer to the small claims court to pursue the money owed.
It was a great course all round
It was a great course all round, learnt a lot throughout the course about everything easily enough and the practicals were good
The Phoenix Close Protection Course
The Phoenix Close Protection Course was great with real-world insights situations. The instructors provided the skills and confidence needed for a career in close protection. Highly recommended!!
Refund - Poor Service
I had to cancel my course. I was due a refund of over 2k but have still not received it. Every time I call to chase I get told to email, which I have multiple times but have still not received my refund. It was due over a week ago (having already waited 3 weeks) and I am still no clearer as to when I should expect it to be returned. They are good at sales but not good at returning money owed and they have no clear escalation process in place to help when things don't go correctly.
Lives Up To The Hype
I was recommended Phoenix and was informed about the high standards and reputation. In all honesty I was dubious before joining the course. But having committed I have no regrets whatsoever. They made it clear that their aim was to make sure we leave the course a different version of ourselves and I can attest to that. I learnt more than I thought I would, about close protection and about myself. Incredible instructors and a great experience.

Great course
The instructors were great and made the course enjoyable whilst teaching and making it easier to understand.
Absolutely do not pay the deposit…
Absolutely do not pay the deposit unless you are willing to fully commit. I was persuaded to pay £300 to simply receive a brochure and told I had 14 days to think about committing. I acted on impulse and felt they would honour the agreement to refund me the disposit. I have had all my emails ignored. I have made several phone calls, each person saying they would personally assure I would be refunded. It has been over a month and nothing. I will likely never see the £300 again. Do not trust them.
Highly recommended! World leaders for sure!
From the start of the course we were taken through each step thoroughly and the trainers ensured that we executed the drills as close as possible to perfection. The course was intense as it was early starts and late finishes as well as very in depth tasks outside of the HQ. Although the 3 weeks were extremely intense it helps you build and improve your current skills as well as develop new ones. Alot of it was more mental than physical but as long as you stay focused from day 1 and remain consistent and be honest with yourself you will perform well. Walk into the course with a willingness to learn and work with team members. Do what you can to assist others as that's a key part of the team work and all exercises will have you split into teams so get used to being a team player. The trainers are so well experienced and not only do they talk the talk but they back it up with action. They are a fountain of knowledge in this industry and will ensure you correct your mistakes quickly and learn from it.
The course structure was well organised. It had a combination of real world exercises and physical challenges as well as classroom learning so overall a good balance. After doing the physicals we all left wanting to do more even after exhaustion which showed we really enjoyed the tasks set.
Overall I do recommend the course however make sure you have your head in the game. You will need to focus, absorb the information, reflect and put it into action to show your progress. Leave your ego at home and go to Phoenix with willingness to learn.
Honest Experience
Truthfully speaking, I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I first joined, but it is 110% worth it. I've learnt a lot. I was taught by some experienced professionals who told the truth and gave me a great experience

Learning lots of skills learned and the entire theory. Could be lot of pressure but this is the point of this job, to be able to work under pressure.
