Security operations
Close Protection
“Extremely professional and personable. Attentive and focused, pre-empting our needs, feeling very well cared for and fortunate to have BPS by our side.”
“We used BPS for a recent trip abroad, everything was very smooth and unobtrusive, reliable and personable. I would highly recommend them.”
Residential Security
“My business recently had a requirement for an on site security team to protect our building after a security breach. Brett and his team stepped in immediately, professionally and effectively advised and facilitated everything we needed even though it was on a weekend. I was hugely impressed, not only with the speed with which BPS were able to assist us but the absolute professionalism of Brett and all the members of his security team. I would not hesitate in recommending BPS and will absolutely use their services again.”
Event Security
“I hired three operatives at the beginning of June to run the security for a private lunch in which we had over £100 Million worth of cars that needed protecting. The team was extremely professional and took away so much stress from running the event. I couldn't recommend BPS more highly and I will definitely be using them again for all future events with my clients!”
“I recently used Brett and his team for a wedding reception and they were simply fantastic. A perfect blend of a personable manner and attentive security. I would highly recommend them!”

Training courses
SIA Close Protection Operative Training
“I recently completed the Level 3 Highfield Close Protection course with BPS and it was excellent. The use of realistic operational scenarios under genuine pressure really set this course apart, you’re not just taught the theory, you’re tested in environments that reflect real-world demands in a range of scenarios from Surveillance, close protection, behaviour detection and vehicle convoys. The directing team were highly knowledgeable with additional guest speakers, calm under pressure and clearly experienced in the field. Their standards were high, but the guidance and feedback throughout helped push everyone to perform at their best. What really stood out was the teamwork element. The course builds strong cohesion quickly, and every scenario reinforced the importance of clear communication, discipline and supporting each other under stress. A highly professional course that prepares you properly for operational environments. Strongly recommended for anyone serious about close protection.”
“Completed the level 3 CP course with BPS. Brett and Carla’s methods of teaching are faultless. Brett's passion for close protection is infectious. Carla’s love for medical training is inspiring. Combining police experience with military high stress training scenarios. I highly Recommend BPS to anyone looking to get into the CP circuit or for any Medical training. I will be attending future courses with BPS to help build my qualifications in the industry.”
“I recently attended the CPO course with Barham Protection Services (BPS). What an amazing course that was! Thanks to all the trainers and organisers behind the scenes! This experience was another level, we’ve come out so strong and confident into this new industry, and felt part of a FAMILY while delivering high standards training. … Thanks again and can’t wait to work with you again!”
Behavioural Detection Officer (BDO) Course
“BPS is an amazing company. Their BDO Course Level 3 is excellent and provides a clear, in-depth understanding of the behaviours you are looking to develop and recognise. The content is practical, engaging, and directly applicable to real-world situations. The trainers are down to earth, approachable, and bring a wealth of experience to their teaching. They create a supportive learning environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and developing your skills. The real-life practical element of the course is truly the highlight. Instead of using actors, they place you in real situations with real people who have absolutely no idea what you are doing. This allows you to genuinely apply everything you’ve learned in an authentic and meaningful way. … I would highly recommend BPS and the BDO Level 3 course to anyone looking to gain real, practical experience and a deeper understanding of behavioural development.”
“I attended the Behavioural Detection Officer course last week. As a Paramedic, Safeguarding Officer and Crowd Safety professional this was something out of my normal practice. I cannot speak highly enough of the course content and delivery! … I have learnt from the very best, and will take these new skills forward which will undoubtably enhance so many areas of my professional work.”
“I recently attended the Level 3 BPS behavioural detection course, and it was an outstanding experience. The trainers were truly passionate about the subject, bringing energy and enthusiasm each day. Their depth of knowledge and wealth of real-world experience made the content extremely engaging. I highly recommend BPS for anyone looking to enhance their skills in behavioural detection.”
“After 13 months of wanting to attend this course, I have just finished the BPS level 3 BDO course and what a pleasure it was. From the very first minute Brett and Carla made me feel welcome and at ease with their professionalism and their knowledge was second to none. The course was an absolute delight to attend with the normally boring classroom learning made engaging and interesting. The two live exercises on the last part of the course just completed it for me as it wasn’t the standard classroom scenarios which you get on other courses. I would highly recommend this course with BPS and I look forward to putting in to practice the knowledge I have gained.”
“All elements of the course were professionally planned and delivered to a high standard. The instructors brought extensive operational experience and taught from lived reality, not just theory. The content was practical, credible and directly applicable. I would strongly recommend the BDO course.”
First Response Emergency Care Level 3 (FREC3)
“I recently completed a FREC3 (First Response Emergency Care) course over five days, which included both theory and practical training, as well as assessments. The course was exceptionally well run and highly informative. I would strongly recommend BPS to anyone considering their training programmes, and I hope to have the opportunity to take further courses with them in the future.”
Emergency First Aid at Work, Level 3
“I recently attended an Emergency First Aid at Work course run by BPS. It was full on but really good. … They are really experienced and it shows! They have used first aid techniques in real life so this isn't just theoretical for them, and that's really important for this kind of training. I wouldn't hesitate to attend another course run by them.”
More from our delegates
“Quality of Course delivery was outstanding. The training room wants for nothing. The course content and delivery style was tailored exactly to the audience. The Live Exercises were phenomenal and a very rare opportunity to train in such an environment. To be able to see the theoretical aspects transform into real life experience was excellent. Well done to BPS on the best short course I've ever attended, thanks for everything.”
“Excellent course from start to finish. The delivery was professional, well structured and clearly grounded in real operational experience. The two days of live, real-time deployment added real value. Learning in live environments strengthened judgement, observation skills and confidence in a way that classroom delivery alone cannot achieve. This format made the training practical, credible and directly transferable to operational practice. Highly recommend to any security professional looking to both specialise and diversify their experience and credentials.”
“Carla and Brett are fantastic instructors who have a wealth of practical experience. They are engaging, approachable and inclusive. Would very much recommend and look forward to undertaking further training with them.”
