How can I become a bodyguard?

To become a bodyguard, you need a high school diploma or a GED certificate at the very least. You can then take certification courses or jump right into the field of personal security if you have the right professional background. Military service and law enforcement provide excellent preparation for this work and can help you develop crucial skills. Some states may require you to get certified to act as a bodyguard, but this varies. For some clients, as long as you prove your skill, they are willing to hire you. You can get your first job with a security company or on a freelance basis.
