The MLCS has been designed not only for newcomers to the industry but for those with experience of surveillance elsewhere and who wish to develop and improve their skills. The course is also ideal for those currently employed within Close Protection to understand the methodology, tactics, techniques and procedure used by those operating at the higher level within Covert Surveillance operations. The course is conducted over two weeks (ten full days), in central London and surrounding areas. The course encompasses every aspect of surveillance an operative needs to operate in this exciting industry; from basic foot, public transport and mobile surveillance, to imagery, report writing and the necessary legalities.

The MLSC is a précis of the more in-depth 8-Week Mobius Advanced Covert Surveillance (MACS) government level course. Aimed at the individual who wishes to experience a similar course standard and structure, this course provides the level of training within a tighter time frame and budget. The ten days ensures enough time is afforded to practice each skill before moving onto the next, so that each student achieves a high standard across all of the basic requirements. The location of this course could not be improved upon, with many elements taking place in Central London, presenting an incredible opportunity to learn and practice surveillance in one of the most dynamic and demanding cities in the world. This course will equip students with a comprehensive knowledge of surveillance tradecraft, whilst ensuring that knowledge is tempered with the professionalism necessary to compete in the private surveillance sector.
All of our instructors have extensive experience, both operationally, and in delivering training aimed at producing the very best Surveillance operatives. They utilise and rely upon continual assessment, to ensure that only those operators they would feel confident working alongside will pass. As such, and as within all Military/ Law Enforcement environments, these courses are pass/ fail[1] meaning only those deemed to have achieved our exacting standards will be awarded the Mobius Covert Surveillance Certification. This is a conscious and deliberate decision, designed to challenge and raise current industry standards.
Previously only available to foreign governments via bespoke design, Mobius are now excited to provide these courses to the private sector. Attendance on these courses is by way of application.[2]
Whilst we support the process of academic qualifications within the Security & Risk Management industry, we do not however advocate the use of ‘qualifications’ for specialist practical subject matter training courses such as Close Protection or Surveillance. We do not deliver courses for tick boxes for BTECS/ NVQ’s/ IQ ‘Cert Ed’s’ etc. Instead, we deliver what is actually required on the ground. This ‘requirement’ is determined by our former MI5, SRR/ SAS and Police Counter Terrorism instructors whom have delivered this training on those courses from those units.
We do not subscribe to outside influences that are decided upon by unqualified individuals but produce courses based on actual and proper operational function requirements of the operators. The Mobius Certification Pass is the level of competence that is our check in determining the effectiveness of that individual. This course will prove your level of competence.
At Mobius International we give great consideration to the kind of candidate we hope to train. Below is a list of attributes/ abilities we expect potential students to possess. This is not an exhaustive list but it is comprehensive enough for anyone considering a career in surveillance to ascertain whether or not they are suited to this type of role.
The training location is just 20 miles from the centre of London and is fully equipped with academic, performance and dining facilities. It can hold up to 300 students all year round in single, twin and triple rooms with shared bathrooms. Other courses from other (non-specialist security) organisations will be conducted concurrently and the learning environment specifically within covert surveillance is closer to that of UK government courses than any other commercial/ private sector course.
