2 DAY BUG SWEEPING (TSCM) COURSE
Also written by Michael Chandler, 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.
This is a 2 day course which is becoming very popular and is incorporated into the 21 Day Vanquish Close Protection Course.

Close Protection
The World renowned 21 Day Vanquish Close Protection Course is considered one of the best civilian bodyguard courses that exist. It not only covers the basic minimum SIA Level 3 BTEC requirements to enable attendees to ascertain their SIA licence.
This course demonstrates how to be an effective CPO whilst utilising covert surveillance skills and gives attendees the ability to protect by exercising intelligence acquisition methods along with traditional security skills and procedures.
From this course, you will gain your PCO Chauffeur Licence, SIA CP Licence, a Diploma in Advance Surveillance, Bug Sweeping (TSCM) and the First Aid At Work Qualification
Advanced Surveillance
The 5 Day Advanced Surveillance Course was initially written to train current security staff of Vanquish Security to enable them to conduct covert surveillance ops to the high standards set out by the company.
Word spread quickly and before we knew it, Vanquish had set up a special training division, later to become Vanquish Training Academy, to take on all applicants who wanted to attend the highly demanding course.
Michael Chandler who wrote the course, later went on to publish The Real Guide to Surveillance which sells to aspiring security & surveillance operatives World Wide.
Although Michael has stepped down as course instructor, people still come from all over the globe to attend.
