Protective Driving Operations Certification (PDOC)

Course Overview

Proper usage of motor vehicles is a critical factor and requirement in executive driving or protective security operations. Safe and proper conduct can make the difference between clients being pleased or dissatisfied at best, or alive or dead at worst. PDOC is a 3-day certification course that introduces students to the principles, procedures and counter-measures associated with protective driving and is considered essential for professional drivers of corporate clients or at-risk individuals. Topics covered include vehicle types and characteristics, routine driving practices, professional security driving protocol, security vehicle inspection & preparation, vehicle dynamics, vehicle assault case studies, route planning and surveys, dynamic turning, emergency braking, accelerating & maneuvering, evasive driving skills, performance driving, vehicle change drills, disabled driver take-overs, and motorcade operations. If you conduct low-profile domestic details, this training will make you a highly capable driver well suited for any client. If you operate internationally, then you are aware that the rest of the world has no respect for, or sense of traffic law and these skills are critical. This course will aid in making your security operations and vehicle movements safe, smooth and successful.
