This 3 week course is the only surveillance course in the UK to be awarded a BTEC Advanced Diploma. It is the highest accredited qualification you can receive in this field and it offers advanced level training and skills. The aim of the course is to train and qualify you to the level of Team Leader in Surveillance Management.

The modules are carefully chosen to fit in with realistic scenarios which build as the course progresses.
