Course Overview
Written by Michael Chandler of Vanquish Training Academy, this course was set up to train operatives on an international scale, the art of Bug Sweeping also known as, Technical Surveillance Counter Measures or TSCM.
TSCM is a skill set that not all Bodyguards can boast but is a very useful one to have. Most attacks are planned and therefore, a principle is very likely to be monitored in one way or another which is why electronic monitoring or Technical Surveillance, should be something that a modern day bodyguard is able to detect.
All attendees will receive Technical Surveillance Countermeasures, a book written by industry expert Michael Chandler. See our student testimonials below!
