WHY DO YOU WANT TO BECOME PART OF THIS ELITE AND EXTRAORDINARY ACADEMY?

The reasons we believe that we are better than any other accredited training provider in this field are herewith provided.

• Milites Dei Academy (MDA) students are actively assisted to find employment, they keep companies’ goods safe in troubled areas, and they can track the movement of intruders. The list goes on.
• MDA has a 1083ha training area in a nature conservancy outside White River (Peebles Valley) – you can see the map on our Facebook.
• MDA has an urban tactical shooting range on the academy premises and two accredited shooting ranges in Peebles Valley (one with an underground bunker system.)
• MDA has a helicopter landing area on the academy premises.
• MDA have instructors with a vast number of years’ experience not only in education, training and security but also from backgrounds of ex-military, military-, tactical- and sports shooting, security detail abroad, anti-poaching units and similar academies.
• MDA’s courses do not take a full year since you can choose a field that you are really good in (for example after the three months of basic training). This will give you high-income career possibilities, making you a specialist in your field of work.
• MDA instructors personally guide each student individually to be successful, so no one falls out of the course; the student becomes part of a caring family.
• MDA fitness is extreme and each student is coached from whatever level of fitness they are in (for example, one of our present students was totally unfit and could not run a 2.4km, however now he is able to (after 2 months on par and he is now working on muscle tone and a six-pack).
• MDA students are rewarded for hard work (with a rank) after each month of studying.
• MDA will assist you for 2 years after training to find a high-income job and again assist, should you not be satisfied with your placement.
• MDA has a brother system whereby the new student is linked with a successful student at the academy and a student already working in the field.
• MDA also is very serious about giving students academic depth, although our courses are only 20% theory, please read our blogs www.militesdei.com/blog.
• You can also see on the MDA Facebook: all the posts that will testify to the professional approach we take and each post is of our own students that completed the specific courses (practical and real-life exercises makes 80% of the MDA courses).
  Already in the three months basics, students are placed in businesses in our area for Real-Life work experience.

Lastly, we would motivate as follows:

“A picture speaks a thousand words” so compare us from all the pictures and posts on our Facebook pages and blog with other training businesses.

There is also a saying “hear it from the horse’s mouth”: we get you in touch with one of our previous students via WhatsApp, to hear how he/she found it.
