ROYAL GUARD IN DUBAI, a smart job for ex military.

Royal guard in Dubai- After resigning from the Nepal Army at the of position junior officer, I had a big dream to join either Dubai police or Royal guard in Dubai. Although everyone has a dream for their career, there is no guarantee that everyone’s dream comes true.

What does mean the Royal Guard?

In the country whose ruler is a king, the national army has a separate regiment that mounted at the royal residence and the responsibility for the administration of the royal places.

In the middle east specifically the GCC (Gulf Co-operation council) counties, the monarchy is the most favorable choice of the ruling system for their people. The king dynasty and their ruling system is always pro for the countries citizen, that is the main reason monarchy has succeeded for the many decades to rule over the gulf continent.

Similarly, other countries such as the United kingdom, Newzealand, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia, the defense force of the United Arab Emirates also has a royal guard regiment which is evolving with various defense parameter of the royal palaces and administrative building.

There are seven emirates in the United Arab Emirates and each emirate has a king and their relatives. All the royal family members and their relatives require protection because VIP always concerns about its own security.

If the Defence forces of the UAE provides the protection for each and every relative of the Royal family it requires more member in its organization which leads the high expenditure in the military.

That could be the main reason some of the private’s companies that have a business to provide the armed and unarmed security services, started providing the ex-army and police officers as the guard to the royal family relatives.

How do the royal guard companies operate in the UAE?

Even though they are not cored part of the defense force of the United Arab Emirates the private royal guards undergo training with national defense or the UAE police forces as requires from their respective companies.

Without a doubt, the royal guards’ service provider companies have been operating in the UAE as private security companies and contractual agreements may have with the defense or police forces for providing guarding services but not to deploy on the battlefield.

The recruitment process for the royal guard in Dubai or UAE.

As I know the demand letter sent from UAE companies to foreign countries including Nepal, the recruitment process starts from your home countries. If you are already in Dubai can apply for the position as far as your experiences and qualifications meet the criteria.

The Qualification to requires for the Royal guard in Dubai.

  1. Ex. Army or police officers.
  2. Hight 5.7″
  3. Weight more than 75kg
  4. English proficiency is good.
  5. VIP or VVIP training plus points.
  6. Intermediate passed is needed.

The selection process goes through the three-phase, running and physical test, interview, medical examination, and police clearances. Although you are the ex. military or the police officers it is equally important that your job resignation time should be no longer than 6 months.

When you get into UAE, you have to complete the training from the companies which give through the veteran member of the UAE defense forces.

What Duties you should perform in the field?

The duties may be vary depending on the client’s needs but generally, you have to provide the security service or the protection service to the royal family properties or work as the bodyguard for them.

How much salary the royal guard earn in the UAE?

There is not any fixed salary that I have found among the private royal guards because of nationality, the company size, and the place where do you work, always determine your pay Cheque. Here is a figure for you to understand.

  • Low Salary per month- AED 3000
  • Average salary per month- AED 4800
  • High salary per month- AED 7000

Comparing the salary of the security guards in the UAE, the royal guards are paid higher and remain in the most respectable position among the security industries.

To become the royal guard in Dubai one thing you should from the army or police background, on another hand, have a skill to operates the small firearms.

Though you are working as a royal guard in the UAE you are not far from the labor law of this country.

In the sum up: Working in the United Arab Emirates as a security guard is a desire of many people, but, when you work as the royal guard in this country could be a great choice for your career. Most of the royal guard providers in UAE has opened from the royal family member or the higher rank of the UAE armed forces.

The security guard license, two ways to get in UAE

The security guard license is an authorized document for performing the security tasks in the country. Which department is responsible for issuing the license it depends on the country to country.

Particularly, in many counties, the private security regulatory authority forms from the government to supervise, training and licensing to the companies and security guards.

The UAE is one of the nations which has maintained the professionalism in the private security industries, in addition, the government has made involving the private security companies for securing the private and public properties.

Among the Gulf countries, the UAE is in the top place for the job seeker around the world. Dubai is not only the city with vibrant economic but also it has accommodated the regional headquarters of the world largest companies.

Since the UAE government changed its economic dependency from oil-exporting to the service and industrial sectors, the more and more companies established their regional headquarters in Dubai.

Although the UAE government still heavily depends on the oil revenue for its economic lifeline the government has focused much more toward tourism and hospitality.

The reason for that, the world-class hotel have been investing to open the new hotels in Dubai, every year the pace is rising.

The changing business environment and booming economy have created new job opportunities for job seekers in every sector as well as the security industries in this country.

since the UAE government focused on professional security services in the private security company, it made the mandatory of the basic security guard training for the security personnel and the valid security guard license when on the duty.

Two security system in a country.

If you want to work as a security guard in the UAE you must have either DPS (New name SIRA) or PSBD (New name PSCOD) license that can obtain after completing the basic security guard training and successfully passing the authority test.

How to get PSCOD security guard license?

The PSCOD guards who can work in 6 emirates except for Dubai, must get the license from the PSCOD (private security company organization department ).

You should go for a lengthy process before getting the PSCOD license, normally it takes more than 15days because of the paperwork, application process, training and examination.

  1. You must get employed from any security companies in UAE, to process for PSCOD license. The individual who wants to get a license themselves is not possible.
  2. The security company refers you to NSI (national security institute) for basic security guard training. The training runs for 5 days and you have to complete the training, besides that, passing the written exam too.
  3. Then the company applies for the PSCOD test on behalf of you. The PSCOD exam conducts in PSBD office, you should get 75% to pass it.
  4. At the last, you would get the PSCOD license it enables you to perform the security tasks in the UAE.
  5. The company does everything, you should not worry any paperwork except, attending the training, taking the exam and having the license.
How to get SIRA license?

The SIRA is the abbreviation of the Security industry regulatory authority and formerly known as the DPS.

Look, here is the difference for getting the security guard license between PSCOD and SIRA. You can get the SIRA license after completing the training yourself, you do not require any company hire first, but, PSCOD needs you to get a security job first then go for training through that company.

Especially, there are the two ways you can get the SIRA license in Dubai;
  1. Apply for yourself
  2. Apply via the company

Now, let me guide you to the first way if you want to get SIRA license on your own expenses go to the SIRA cadre academy and apply from thereby paying the course fee.

The SIRA would give you the training start date and its completion. Attend the full course of the training. If you pass the both physical and written test you can get the license then start looking for the security job opportunity in Dubai.

The companies in the UAE always prefer the candidates who have already SIRA license because of hiring the new guard, sending the training and getting a license on behalf of them, it costs to the company.

The second way, in the first place, you should get a security guard job in a company and the company will do all the process for the SIRA training. The company pays the training fee, arranging transportation and provide you with the company dress, in addition, others require equipment.

In conclusion: Getting the security guard license is harder than getting a job opportunity in the UAE. Although the SIRA guards are paid less, comparatively the PSCOD guards, they can apply for PSCOD license via their company later. The SIRA or PSCOD training not only important to look for the security job in UAE but also equally important to learn the basic security skills that need to perform your daily duties.
