2005년 안황권 교수의 도입제안에 따라 경비협회가 시작한 신변보호사 자격제도는 지금까지 7회를 실시하여 국가로 부터 공인을 받았다. 신변보호사 자격제도는 시민생활안전을 충족시키고 아울러 자격 검증을 통해 전문 직능을 보유한 신변보호 전문가를 확보하고자 함이다. 그러나 7회에 걸쳐 신변보호사 자격 검정을 통해 배출된 많은 수의 자격 취득자들은 산업 현장에서의 우선적 채용 인적자원 또는 가산점 부여 등과 같은 혜택을 받지 못하고 있다. 또한 실제 자격을 취득하였음에도 대부분 활용되고 있지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구자는 신변보호사 제도와 자격증을 취득한 학생들을 대상으로 활용 실태와 인식에 대하여 탐구하여 문제점을 살펴보고 향후 발전 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
