Hi, I am a Canadian/British Citizen in London currently awaiting my Close Protection in hostile ares course which will leave me sia badged and foreign weapons trained by Nov (excluding SIA processing time). This is with Ronin UK (feedback on its course or anything else appreciated) I have a slightly limited amount of time clocked in the Scots Guards. My competitors are mostly of a lengthy background within HM forces as I have viewed from a 3rd person perspective on the industry. I have been doing what you said above by adding as many bits and bobs to the old CV as possible. I am out the army in December and am going to do the door supervisor bit in London untill I land the saught after contract. Any tips or advice is much appreciated, but my main question is how much is to much. When I send off my CV over and over to the same places where do you draw the line at harrasment, ie pissing them off. What is a good time line in between tries and also, is it bet to call them first, track them down and go to their office, or just send them the cv in mail or email? Cheers...........

Ummm i'm sorry haven't been to the site in a while, was too busy trying to pass my Commercial Pilot Exam, didn't pass so yeah. This was always my plan B the career that would pay for my aviation training if it ever came down to me and a job, but I'm a little worried. Looking at Ronin SA to do my training and i was going to give them a call this week and ask all these questions but if someone here wouldn't mind giving me a little guidance i would be really great full. I'm 22 and African, from Kenya to be specific, speak fluent English, did in high school French and i can brush up on it, currently teaching myself spanish and japanesse at the moment. However i have absolutly zero police or military training and where i come from i doubt that it would really help, were not really the most combat ready of nations. Wanted to join the army but wasn't impressed with there training, didn't have confidence in it, plus aparently flat footed people cant enlist where i come from. Sorry for rambling on but i just want to know is there hope for a guy like me in a career like this. I really don't want to fork out the cash and then get left in a career where no one will take me for my lack of experience or worse because i'm not from a prominent state i.e South Africa or the like. Please let me know. I'm currently in country since i was doing my CPL in South Africa and i'd like to decide if i'm going to do this before my visa expires. Thanks loads for your help, God bless.
