What the students can expect
Skills are taught which are necessary for gathering evidence by covert means and to become a proficient surveillance operator. We teach how to carry out surveillance on foot, by vehicle and by static point. These skills are then put into practice by carrying out supervised surveillance exercises. The training is further enhanced with lessons on legal issues in relation to evidence gathering, photography and vehicle tracking.
This course includes training exercises that are realistic, structured and controlled to gain the most benefit for the student. All equipment such as vehicles, covert radios, and cameras are supplied. Our course vehicles are rented from a reputable supplier to ensure that they are safe, reliable and roadworthy at all times.
We normally limit this course to a maximum of eight students.
The system of surveillance we teach is in a three car team which is how we would expect any professional surveillance team to operate in. This way, you also have the knowledge, understanding and experience to operate effectively in a two man team should this be the case.

This workbook is provided on day one of the course and assessed on completion of the training period. This assessment requires full written answers to the questions and theory exercises, it is not a multiple choice questionaire and is required by Edexcel to demonstrate your knowledge to pass the BTEC Award.
