CP MEDICAL ASSISTANT COURSE (CMAC)


Ronin™SA is committed to developing truly holistic Close Protection officers, capable of safeguarding clients against both physical threats and diverse medical or traumatic emergencies. Our CP Medical Assistant Certificate (CMAC) exceeds standard first-aid requirements for security licensing worldwide, giving you the practical skills to provide substantial, real-world assistance when it matters most.

While the CMAC serves as an excellent intermediary step, those seeking to attain full Ronin SA Operator Status will need to complete the Ambulance Diploma course.

Beyond close protection, this level of training also benefits civilians venturing into wilderness adventures or remote regions where reliable medical infrastructure is limited, including expats, yachtsmen, and press corps.




 CERTIFICATION

All Certification is issued directly after the successfull completion of the course at the end of the classroom phase.


LOCATION & ACCOMMODATION

Scenic Hout Bay is a lively coastal town with a lovely swimming beach and a picturesque harbour where you can buy some of the best fish and chips in the world.

Accommodation

Students live in modern self-catering apartments sharing a room with a colleague (same gender) close (200m) to the beach, restaurants, shops, gyms, laundry and best of all, the training center.
