Who is the TSCM course suitable for?

The course is designed for government and defence personnel, corporate security teams, investigative units, compliance officers, security consultants, and technical specialists. It is also suitable for organisations operating in sensitive or high-risk environments. No previous TSCM experience is required.

Do I need any prior technical knowledge to attend?

A technical background is not essential. Delegates with a basic understanding of security operations or technology may find certain concepts easier, but the course is structured to support complete beginners through to experienced practitioners.

What makes J6 Solutions different from other TSCM training providers?

The course is delivered by operational TSCM practitioners with real-world experience conducting sweeps across government, maritime, defence, and corporate sectors. Training is built on current threat trends rather than outdated theory, and the programme includes extensive hands-on use of professional equipment.

Is this training based on modern surveillance threats?

Yes. The course covers GSM, 4G and 5G devices, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth threats, IoT surveillance, and contemporary concealment methods. Delegates gain a clear understanding of how modern devices behave and how to detect them.

Is the course practical or mostly classroom-based?

The training combines both, with a significant emphasis on hands-on experience. Delegates use spectrum analysers, NLJDs, thermal imaging tools, and other TSCM equipment in realistic sweep scenarios.

Can the course be customised for our organisation?

Yes. J6 Solutions can tailor modules to specific industries, risk categories, environments, or operational requirements. Tailored courses are ideal for corporate security teams, government departments, or organisations with unique threat profiles.

Can J6 Solutions deliver TSCM training outside the UK?

Absolutely. Although J6 Solutions is UK-based, the team regularly delivers TSCM training worldwide. A dedicated USA page is also available for organisations based in North America.

What environments will we learn to sweep?

Delegates conduct structured searches of offices, meeting rooms, sensitive areas, and vehicles. Practical sessions replicate real operational conditions to ensure skills transfer directly to your organisation.

What equipment will I learn to use?

You will work with professional TSCM tools, including spectrum analysers, non-linear junction detectors, thermal imaging systems, search cameras, and RF detection equipment. Training focuses on both correct use and accurate interpretation.

How long is the course?

The programme runs for four to five days, combining theory, operational planning, and extensive practical exercises. Alternative durations can be arranged for bespoke or on-site courses.

Is this course suitable for corporate security teams?

Yes, many corporate clients use the course to build internal TSCM capability, support executive protection programmes, and strengthen protective security measures in sensitive business areas.

What is the maximum group size?

To ensure high-quality practical instruction, group sizes are kept deliberately small. This allows each delegate sufficient time on the equipment and personalised guidance from instructors.

Does the course cover report writing and post-sweep recommendations?

Yes. Delegates learn how to interpret findings and create clear, professional reports with actionable countermeasures, mirroring real operational TSCM workflows.

Do you provide TSCM training for private individuals?

No. J6 Solutions currently provides TSCM training exclusively to corporate organisations, government departments, security teams and other group entities. We do not currently offer TSCM training courses to private individuals.

TSCM Course

Technical Surveillance Counter Measures Course

This intensive 4 to 5-day Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures course is designed for organisations and professionals who need real capability, not theory. J6 Solutions delivers a training programme built on genuine operational experience, modern threat awareness, and hands-on use of professional TSCM equipment.

Suitable for government personnel, corporate security teams, investigative units, and technical specialists, the course provides a complete, practical introduction to identifying, locating, and mitigating technical surveillance threats in real environments.

We are UK and US based, and can deliver TSCM training worldwide, with the flexibility to run courses on-site or at secure training facilities.

The course blends classroom learning with extensive hands-on exercises. Delegates will use professional TSCM equipment, learn structured sweep methodology, and conduct full searches of offices, meeting rooms, and vehicles, all supported by instructors with operational TSCM backgrounds.

TSCM Course Learning Objectives

By the end of the programme, delegates will be able to:

Understand the fundamentals and principles of modern technical surveillance
Identify the full range of electronic surveillance threats and devices
Apply structured sweep methodology and operational inspection planning
Use RF detection tools and perform live spectrum analysis
Carry out physical searches using proven TSCM techniques
Conduct complete electronic sweeps for corporate, government, or field environments
Interpret findings, assess risks, produce reports, and recommend countermeasures

These outcomes align closely with the skills required of a professional TSCM operator.

Course Modules & Topics

Theory Modules

The theory module introduces the core principles of TSCM, modern surveillance threats, and the technologies used in covert audio, video, and data collection. Delegates learn how devices operate across the radio spectrum and how concealment techniques affect detection. This foundation prepares learners for informed, methodical sweep practices.
Infrastructure, Planning & Methodology

This module focuses on preparing and structuring a professional sweep, from risk assessment through to documentation. Delegates learn how to plan operations, prioritise areas, and maintain consistent reporting standards. By the end, they understand how to run a disciplined, repeatable TSCM workflow.
Practical Module

The practical module provides hands-on experience with industry-standard TSCM equipment and real-world sweep scenarios. Delegates use RF tools, NLJDs, thermal imaging, and search equipment to identify and locate covert devices in varied environments. The exercises culminate in a full simulated sweep and reporting task.
