Secret Service agents go through rigorous training to perform their job effectively. All agents must go through about 7 months worth of training when they are initially hired. Once an agent has gone through the initial training, if they want to be on a protection detail, they must work in a field office for six to eight years. After spending six to eight years in the field, agents will then be transferred to work on a protection detail for three to five years.
