i know what you mean james i had to wait an eternity for my M.O.D. clearance to come through when i worked at a courier firm cause we had to go into some sensitive areas for the B.A.E contracts that we had it was worth it though i got to see harriers being stripped and rebuilt down at dunsfold(where top gears filmed) and see the euro fighter being tested up near hull and seeing a P51Mustang take off down at bristol god what a beautiful sight and sound.... 8-)

I have never applied for any special security things at all - and I don't know if I would get any.

But then a certain Cheltenham based organisation seemed to not worry about a joke my and a friend who was working there at the time did.

Ok we did a bug and a TV transmitter :-[

Did yours take long to get processed.... >:(

Passed my course two years ago...only received my license a month or so ago,the only plus side is im effectively licensed for 5 years instead of three  ;D ;D

Regards the Close protection just remember simply being licensed counts for jack...most employers will want experienced guys,mate has had his CP for 18 months and no one will touch him without experience. ::)

If you seriously consider doing at some point in the future its worth looking at oversea"s training as quite a few include firearms training in the package and im reliably informed certain countries (Philippines included  8-)) has a very high pass rate (Nothing too do with the huge amount of corruption out there  ;D).

I did my course training in Cyprs, though cut my teeth so to speak working in East Europe, Estonia mainly.

Can't do the job any more, but I keep my badge upto date as it adds some weight to me with the current job.
