Protectics was founded in 1991 by Robert Agar-Hutton who saw the need for a company that would specialises in delivering training courses in the management of anger, aggression and violence.

A blend of intellectual, academic and physical skills is what makes Protectics' training so useful and their '•Tect' courses so interesting and enjoyable. Just like life, the courses include experience, thought and action.

The Protectics 'blend' ensures that the training is assimilated quickly and (far more importantly) is remembered! Too often skills learnt in a training course are forgotten by the time that they are needed. 

The   Protectics methodology  helps ensure that skills are embedded into permanent memory so that they are instantly available when required.
