Our course is application only which means that there is a brief application/ telephone interview process which enables us to ensure that we have the right calibre of people attend. For each course, we receive between 60-100 applications and we only accept between 4-6 applicants. The reason we do this is because Vanquish® Investigation Services, Vanquish® Security Services and TSCM International® ONLY recruit from these courses.​

 

We usually hold 2 open days per year where we invite all interested course candidates to our training centres where they will learn about the organisation and how Vanquish® operate, recruitment and the course itself.

Bug Sweeping

 

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 3 day course which is becoming very popular and is incorporated into the 21 Day Vanquish Close Protection Course.

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.
