To become a protection supervisor, candidates typically need prior experience in security or protective services, often as a security officer or guard. Relevant certifications such as first aid, conflict management, and security training are usually required, along with strong leadership and communication skills. Some positions may also require a valid security license or license renewal depending on local regulations.
