Surveillance / Counter Surveillance and Covert Operations

PRESENTATION

Due to the increasing demand from the commercial sector for highly trained covert and surveillance operators, we now focus strongly on the training which is what potential employers have informed us they want.

Employment for Covert Operators in the commercial sector is rapidly on the increase with the volatile state of global affairs and indeed, even to the private individual. Previous recruitment sources were traditionally from the SAS, 14INT, J/CUN, E4A, MI5 and the police.

However, demand today far outstrips supply and the PBA has for some considerable time been training students to fill the void. Covert work even in the commercial sector can be very demanding and often dangerous – therefore, students must be prepared to work long hours on their course with a view to becoming operational at the end of it.

The PBA has for many years trained government personnel, in fact, we have even trained their instructors! So you can be assured that you will receive the best possible training available today, either inside or outside of government circles.

We cannot overemphasise to students the importance of being highly trained in the art of surveillance and anti surveillance both of which make you highly employable and operationally more competent when undertaking medium to high risk CPO and protective surveillance duties
