In 2020, ISDA conducted a survey on Executive Protection and Security Driver Training.
Our goals were to determine the dollar value of the market for this type of training and to collect metrics on what motivates potential students to attend one program over another. For example, how they funded their training and how many training programs they had participated in their career, and to gather data on the use of GI Bill benefits to attend training. A link to the 2020 report is available in the Index below.
One data point we examined was the number of practitioners who used their GI Bill benefits to attend training and how much GI Bill money went to training providers.
Our research collected interesting information by looking at a government site that gathered data on Executive Protection Training schools offering the Post-9/11 GI
Bill.
The data was from 2018, and we found that out of the eight programs that offered the GI Bill, three recorded no students and no income.
The other five recorded $5,181,311 of revenue from 381 students, averaging $13,599 per student.
Revisiting the GI Bill data in 2022
We decided to revisit the GI Bill benefits website and found four providers that accepted the GI Bill as payment for Fiscal Year 2022.
Of those four providers, they trained 448 students and received $6,318,2299 from the government for student tuition.
There was a 22% increase in tuition paid and a 47% increase in students compared to 2020. In 2022, we estimated that the financial size of the EP Training market is considerable.
