SPECIALISED COVERT INVESTIGATION TRAINING
Minerva
An exclusive, residential course consolidating best-practice methodologies in covert investigations from the highest echelons of the Intelligence Community, law enforcement, corporate investigators, and renowned journalists.
Designed for women, this comprehensive programme equips you with the skills and strategies to navigate the complex world of covert investigations in the private sector.
The strategic imperative
Women remain critically underrepresented in covert investigations, creating both an operational gap and a missed strategic advantage.
In private sector investigations, our targets are often powerful men with significant egos operating in closed networks. They systematically underestimate women.
This is not a weakness to overcome. It is an exploitable vulnerability. Minerva trains elite female operatives who leverage this underestimation as a tactical weapon, gaining access to environments, networks, and intelligence that remain closed to traditional operatives.
