R. L. Oatman & Associates, Inc. is the Executive Protection Training Program of choice for many reasons. Chief among them is the quality of the instruction environment; the broad experience of the school’s faculty; and the real-world relevance and applicability of the course.

“The Oatman Executive Protection
Training Program teaches the right balance between security
and facilitation, between protective measures and real-world
limitations. It’s a corporate program, designed mostly
for one-on-one protection of an executive or their family
members. The school’s philosophy of executive
protection is realistic and practical”.
