The Privé Cadre

Shaping the trusted teams behind the world’s most

distinguished people — through elite training and advisory.

Training is delivered through The Privé Cadre — Ascot Privé’s GCC-based platform for capability development and leadership excellence. Each program is designed to deliver measurable results within focused, high-impact timeframes. Our 2, 5, and 8-day curriculums provide concentrated instruction for official and protective teams with limited time away from duty, while the 10-day immersive programs offer a deeper progression for corporate and private-sector teams seeking full-spectrum development. Every course blends structured learning with field application and stress testing — ensuring every standard taught is tested, proven, and ready to perform under pressure.

WHO WE TRAIN

Royal & Government Units

We design discreet, intensive programs for sovereign households, state details, and government protection units. Our approach respects the reality that these teams cannot spend weeks away from duty, delivering concentrated modules that maximise training impact in just a few days. Programs focus on protective strategy, advance work, secure movements, residential coverage, and event management — always with a balance of discretion, precision, and cultural awareness. For royal and diplomatic details, our training is about refinement: elevating already capable teams to the highest standards of readiness and composure.

Corporate & Commercial Teams

For corporate security providers, executive protection teams, and organisations supporting senior leadership, we deliver immersive training that blends protective expertise with commercial application. Programs often run 5–10 days and cover executive travel security, residential protocols, event protection, and crisis response. Drawing on decades of operational experience, we prepare teams to operate seamlessly across jurisdictions, integrating protective intelligence, red cell stress testing, and leadership development. Our goal is to equip corporate teams with the confidence and cohesion to safeguard executives, brand reputation, and business continuity at the highest level.

Family Office & Household Teams

We provide discreet, capability-focused training for trusted staff and personal teams supporting principals, families, and estates. Programs are designed to enhance awareness, coordination, and readiness across the environments where confidence and discretion matter most — the residence, in transit, and during private engagements. Training covers residential protocols, secure logistics, event alignment, and seamless integration with protective or operational frameworks. Every program is tailored to strengthen performance, professionalism, and composure within the unique dynamics of private service.

Events & Operational Teams

We deliver specialist training for event and operational teams working within high-profile or sensitive environments. Programs focus on coordination, communication, and situational awareness — ensuring seamless alignment between client, venue, and protective frameworks. Instruction covers guest management, access control, logistical flow, and emergency response readiness, all delivered with the discretion and composure required at elite-level gatherings. Each engagement equips teams to operate confidently alongside principals, delegates, and security professionals, maintaining both safety and experience at the highest standard.

Red Cell & Stress Testing

Our signature methodology places teams under controlled but highly realistic adversarial pressure. These exercises replicate how real threats think and act, exposing blind spots that routine training cannot reveal. Unlike scripted drills, Red Cell / Stress Testing forces individuals and units to adapt, coordinate, and make decisions under live conditions. For royal and government protection units, this means refining protective detail discipline, timing, and cohesion in scenarios that mirror operational reality. For commercial and corporate teams, it builds resilience, leadership, and confidence when safeguarding executives, residences, or high-profile events. This is not theory — it is where preparation is tested, validated, and elevated to the highest standard.
