A prerequisite for attending the advanced course is the completion of the "Basic Course in Technical Surveillance Countermeasures" presented by TSCM Services or attendance of a recognised course or relevant prior experience. Attendees have to provide their own equipment for the course, i.e. spectrum analyser/spectrum corrolator, NLJD and telephone line analyser/telephone test equipment. We will also provide equipment such as spectrum analysers, spectrum corrolator, TDR, Oscilloscope, etc.

The objectives of the course are to hone the skills acquired in the basic course and to expose the attendees to advanced theory, techniques and practices.

The course provides attendees with further in-depth instruction on the nature of the vulnerabilities of electronic telephone systems to manipulation and interception. Telephone cabling systems are studied to gain first hand knowledge of inspection and tracing techniques. More in-depth information is presented on exotic RF modulation techniques and ways to detect them.

Attendees will experience much more hands-on insights into effective countermeasures programmes and prevention.
