Creating the Quiet Professionals of Tomorrow...

Entry Considerations

As Ronin SA provides training to specialised units within government we are obliged to maintain strict entry criteria and to conduct due diligence on all of our clients. Our reputation for brand excellence is also derived, to some extent, from these strict entry standards.

Military / Police Background

Many of our graduates have military & police backgrounds, but this is not a requirement to attend our training. Civilians with suitable background checks, an open mind, disciplined work ethic and a good level of fitness do very well.

English Language Proficiency

Because the course is conducted & assessed in English and given that the UK Security regulator requires a certain level of English (CEFR level B2), we recommend that your English proficiency is at a B2 level (Both receptive skills as well as written and spoken). 

Should you be unsure of your current level of English Proficiency, we recommend taking a test via TrackTest. Kindly ensure you do the full 45min test as well as a Speaking & Writing Exam (additional add-on) to ensure that receptive as well as written and spoken competency is covered.

Many graduates have done the course before in their second language and, with hard work and dedication, have passed. 

Criminal Background

Acceptance onto one of our courses all depends on the nature of the criminal activity and your convictions.

We will need a background check from any country you have stayed in for more than two (2) years as an adult (not including military deployments).
Wherever you choose to get your criminal background check from, please ensure that it is dated within 6 months of your course start date and issued by:-

  • A National Law Enforcement Agency in your country/s of residence in the last 10 years
  • National Security Regulatory Authority (Your card is accepted in itself)
We also accept Clearances from:
  • Valid National Police Badge
  • Afiswitch (SA Citizens)
  • Disclosure Scotland (UK Citizens)
  • Intercheck (Australian Citizens)
  • Veritas Check (New Zealand Citizens)

Please ensure you bring your ORIGINAL background check with you and that it:

  • Has a stamp / holographic seal or original ink signature (not a scanned print out) or
  • Has a QR Code / Verification link that allows for independent verification should it be issued electronically

Travel

Arrival (Ronin Accommodation)

Kindly ensure that you arrive at our training facility in Cape Town (South Africa) or Helsingborg (Sweden) before 16:00 on the Saturday prior to the Course Start (as Registration takes place on Sunday).

The closest International Airport to Helsingborg is Copenhagen, Denmark.

Should you be returning for a Remedial Week, kindly arrive the Saturday preceding the week concerned and leave on the Monday after, allowing you time to write your Badge Test.

Ronin SA is easily reached from Cape Town International Airport / Helsingborg Train Station via Taxi / Uber which can be hailed via their App and met at the designated pickup points. For more information kindly follow this link. We will provide you with an exact address upon payment of your deposit

Upon arrival, a staff member will meet you at the Training Centre and check you into your Ronin accommodation.

Arrival (Own Accommodation)

Should you not be staying with us, please arrive on Sunday morning at 08:30 ensuring you bring PT Kit, a Towel and your formal clothing (suit, shirt, tie etc)

Flights


Your flights are for your account and arrangement 

Visa

Visa requirements depend on what passport you hold. Kindly research this with the requisite Consulate (South Africa / Sweden).

Insurance

You will require the requisite travel & medical insurance to cater for your needs should you need medical treatment in a hospital or repatriation for any reason. 
True Traveller (with the Adventure Pack add-on) provides comprehensive insurance options.

Cash / Traveller's Cheques

You can draw cash from ATM’s to use for incidentals such as lunches, laundry, gym membership, tipping etc. Around €10/day is more than enough

Weekends

On weekends, you will have some free time to hire a vehicle / taxi / bus and explore Cape Town. We highly recommend that you do as there are many activities such as the wine route, shark diving, skydiving, scuba diving, hill walking, sightseeing and Cape Town’s lively nightlife!

Vaccinations

We recommend you check your immunity levels for the following diseases that you may be exposed to while on ambulance shift:-

  • COVID-19 (mandatory if you would like to attend Ambulance Shifts)
  • Hepatitis B
  • MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella)
  • Chickenpox
  • Tuberculosis


Certification Considerations

Because we are dealing with people’s lives in Close Protection & Emergency Medicine, the course is competency based and we assess your competence throughout the course. Should you be found to be not yet competent in a weekly module you are permitted one remedial attempt on the Course.
