erebus is the global leader in covert technical training services, providing bespoke tools and operational support to specialist Law Enforcement and Governmental agencies worldwide.

Unrivalled Training

Our training courses are unrivalled and have all been designed to provide the learner with the technical bench skills required to get the job done and the specialist tactical application knowledge, ensuring the successful operator will leave our courses as a proficient covert asset for their respective organisation.

Our instructors have all been individually selected for their respective expertise within their chosen fields and have a vast reserve of knowledge gained from conducting countless operations globally, often in hostile, non-permissive environments.

UK-based with a discreet 6500 sqft bespoke designed and dedicated Covert Methods of Entry (CME) training facility, we can deliver training packages to cover all of your organisations’ requirements within the CME field. If required, training teams can travel to your location.

Bespoke Design

Utilising our operational experience has also enabled us to design bespoke equipment to counter the technical difficulties encountered within this operating arena. The bespoke tools we supply have been designed to reflect the need for ease of functionality and reliability in even the most extreme working conditions.

Operational Support

As all of our instructors have a deep understanding of the skills required to carry out a covert entry and the subsequent search, we do provide an operational support service.

This support can be as in-depth as you, the client, require and may be helpful in your operational planning. Training in a specific type of security system bypass, opening the facility up for your personnel to exploit, or, if required, we can carry out the full entry and search under your operational command.

The professionalism, energy and knowledge of the instructors are first-class. Hope to be back for future courses.” - OGD’s.

  • “Overall an excellent course, both informal and professionally delivered, the content could easily fill a two-week package.” - OGD’s.

  • “All aspects of the course were excellent. The on-the-ground input during the exercises was particularly useful and was delivered in a way that the content would not be forgotten. Some slide power points on actual hide exploitation and evidential handling would be useful.” - Customs and Excise.

  • “Ring / Nest types doorbell bypass - we had no realistic defeat to date until we were taught the technique here.” - Police.

  • “Outstanding bespoke package absolutely relevant to our roles. CME and Operational needs were covered in accordance with current operations in mind. Other providers lack the operational component in their training.” - OGD’s.

  • “As someone with no prior knowledge of the subject, I now feel confident to take on these tasks in an operational role. Very informative and delivered in a constructive and positive manner. Exercises are very realistic and relevant to my work role.” - Police.

  • “Excellent course content; I had only a brief understanding of CME, but the course was run at a great pace with plenty of time to learn and then practice each subject.” - Military.

  • “I found the course really informative, providing quality instruction with current best practise. Also, it was really enjoyable and delivered in a relaxed way that made learning a mainly new subject (for me) easy. Looking forward to using the skills learnt for real when I get back. Great week. Hopefully, I will be back.” - Police.

  • “A very well-delivered course; the depth of knowledge was very apparent. The use of planning modules was new to me, and I found them very useful and will most certainly use them in the future. The course had much more content than I imagined.” - Military.

  • “AMoE is a great course with very credible and experienced instructors. Pitched at the right level, Thanks.” - Police.

  • “A thoroughly informative and enjoyable course. The levels of knowledge and professionalism displayed by both trainers were exemplary.” - Military.

  • “Thank you, a great course; it makes a big difference being taught by instructors who have operational experience.” - Military.

  • “The exposure to a variety of problem sets, all of which are contemporary in nature, alongside the continuous and consistent support, guidance and tutelage were amongst the best I have ever witnessed.” - Police.

  • “All objectives covered were outstanding and mission-centric based.” - Military.

  • “I've really enjoyed this course for both the knowledge I have learned and the professionalism throughout. Being in the Military, a lot of training courses we do are short on time vs. the amount of work we have to do. This course was balanced throughout, always something new to learn and apply but not stressed and with time to consolidate.” - Military.

  • “I would like to express a deep gratitude for having been taught by you over the past month; it has provided far more value to me than money alone can pay for.” - Military.
