Where training meets real-world operations
ARES delivers world-class, internationally accredited security and medical training from a specialised 13,000-acre academy — roughly one hour from Nairobi and just 30 minutes from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
The scale of the site is the point. Purpose-built ranges, a dedicated driving circuit, and open ground for urban, rural, and vehicle-based scenarios let every programme run in a genuine operational environment rather than a classroom simulation. Students live on site for the duration of their course, with modern four-star accommodation, a medical facility, and 24-hour security across the estate.

Staying on site keeps each cohort together and course tempo high, from early-morning fitness through to evening debriefs.
How our courses work
Every programme combines classroom instruction with intensive practical exercises across the academy's ranges, driving circuit and live scenario areas.
Assessment is continuous throughout, with certification awarded on successful completion of both written and practical evaluations.
Class sizes are kept deliberately small to protect individual attention and training standards.
