Course Selection Advice

Victor,

Not trying to be a smart ass by any means mate , but why would you want to complete a CPO course in Israel (unless you are from that direction), there are loads of good credible courses in the UK which will give you the sia qualification.

Just a thought

I'd agree with mickworldwide, you'd be better off with a UK sia compliant course, so as to not limit your options.

I did a CP course in Israel, in the pre-SIA days, I found it a very good course, the one I did was 7 weeks long and was bloody tough, but covered everything possible- live fire, first aid etc. But as I have said this was pre-SIA, now I think for the price you will pay for a course in Israel- if you include travel etc, presming you're from UK/Europe- you would find better options in the UK or Europe, mainly because a UK and some Europe courses will allow the option of an SIA licence at the end. If you're considering Israel for a lot of the other additions on courses consider the Ronin SA course which includes medical training. If your budget doesn't run to that level I'd suggest speaking to anyone of the qulity providers on here.
Having said that though, if you already have the SIA CP or don't want to work in the UK, consider a course in Israel a good investment, the way things are done is different to a more UK or US style, the Israeli way (at least when I was there) was more of a blend between the overt heavily armed Psd style and more low profile corporate CP style- good learning experience though.
