Our Story
Our founder, Jason, established Protection Academy in 2015, driven by a vision and desire to combine his extensive 20+ years of expertise in the security industry into one, easily accessible platform.
Throughout his illustrious career, Jason never encountered a single centralised resource that provided guidance and training in the subjects he was being schooled in and learning on the job.
Instead, Jason gleaned insights from a vast variety of mentors and sources, amassed over decades of dedicated service.
Today, after over two decades, Jason and his esteemed colleague Ivan, have meticulously consolidated their collective 50+ years of expertise into the single cohesive framework of Protection Academy—an unparalleled resource in the field of security education and training.
The academy
Why Choose Protection Academy?
Protection Academy’s roots stem back to the military. Both Jason and Ivan served in the Armed Forces of Malta for over 10 years, and then both went on to have successful careers in the security sector.
Jason and Ivan’s military backgrounds allowed them to flourish within the security industry; their years of service gave them an edge over their competition and no one could match their discipline and dedication to getting a job finished successfully.
Through Protection Academy, Jason and Ivan have transferred these very same qualities into the education industry, delivering quality courses steeped in the first-hand knowledge and unique experiences that only seasoned military and security professionals come to possess.
The level of competence our staff has is unmatched in comparison to your typical tutor. Our course instructors are fully trained and also have military backgrounds; this is important to us as we believe that this is what sets us apart from other educational platforms.
All of the curricula on Protection Academy are of the utmost quality, and they are fully accredited by Highfield, one of the UK’s best known awarding organisations.
