Hey Markus. I consulted with a buddy who just finished some private protection training and he had the same thoughts I did so I’ll go ahead and share them.

First, it’s hard to believe they waited till 4 weeks out to be concerned with training, but we can’t fix that. Awareness training is definitely and always a good answer. Finding improvised “equalizers” that they can learn to use quickly would be smart (ie. Bug spray). Teaching them the basics (Fast Course, 60 min SD, Module 1) and only focusing on those basics is probably all they will have time for. Then I would run them through some abduction scenarios so they can “practically” use what they learned and be somewhat more prepared. I doubt they are going to spend 4 full weeks training 10+hrs a day so maximizing and optimizing their training is important. The scenarios will help wake them up and teach them their realistic limitations.

Finally, convince the 19 year old to start dating a big bad dude to provide a layer of protection.

That’s about the best they can hope for given the time constraints, age and size constraints, and I’m assuming financial constraints (otherwise just hire a private security team).
