Got Questions?
No! Our OSINT Training is a specialised and customisable educational program. It's not just 'how to use our tool'.
In a Training session, our OSINT Experts teach individuals and groups multiple tools and methods to ethically gather and analyse information from publicly available sources, i.e. Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT).
We focus on all ways of using the Internet, social media, public databases, and other open-source materials for investigative purposes. Our many modules help trainees to master the different approaches and applications that make a great OSINT investigator. OSINT is so much bigger than just us.
Of course, the best way to answer this question is to enrol and find out!
For anybody curious about OSINT. Our courses are structured in groups of 10 to 15 individuals, and cater to a wide audience: journalists, cybersecurity experts, law enforcement officers, intelligence analysts, non-profit volunteers and professionals involved in safeguarding children online.
Each course is designed to address the needs of different skill sets; some, like OSINT Automation require prerequisite skills like knowledge of the command line interface (CLI) and basic Python proficiency. This diversity in course offerings ensures that professionals from various fields can always find training suited to their specific needs and areas of interest.
Our primary structure for our courses is a 3-day intensive training program. However, this duration can be adjusted based on the specific needs of the group, or the relative depth of the subject matter at hand.
This flexibility allows for a more tailored educational experience, ensuring that participants gain the most relevant and practical skills from their training.
Trainees who successfully complete our OSINT Training receive a completion certificate, acknowledging their achievement and the OSINT skills they've acquired during our course.
This completion certificate validates trainees' expertise in Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) gathering and analysis, among other more specific OSINT methodologies.
That depends on the course. For most modules, a basic understanding of the Internet and computer proficiency will be beneficial, but that's all.
However, more specialised modules require additional skills. Most significantly, our code-focussed OSINT Automation module necessitates prior knowledge of the command line interface (CLI) and basic Python.
All trainees at all levels of expertise can find a program that matches their skill set - whether they're OSINT-curious beginners or advanced investigators!
