Subjects & Specialisms.
OSINT training is never one-size-fits-all. For that reason we take a bespoke approach to training, offering investigators the ability to pick-and-choose subject modules and build a customised syllabus that delivers maximum value.
Let's try an example. Our basic OSINT course builds a narcotics investigator's foundational skills. Adding our GeoINT module will supercharge their ability to identify and pinpoint locations. Add Blockchain Skills, and tracking laundered funds comes naturally too.
Operational Skills Modules
A foundational module in our training, OSINT on Individuals equips participants with advanced techniques for gathering detailed intelligence on persons-of-interest using only open-source publicly available information.
Learn the OSINT investigative fundamentals. Engage freely accessible sources - social media platforms, public records, forums, and online database - with our OSINT tools to systematically collect, analyse, and interpret data about individuals in a way that sticks closely to legal and ethical standards. Follow the digital footprints that individuals leave behind. Uncover hidden or obscure information. Master data verification and analysis.

Got Questions?
Our OSINT Training is a specialised and customisable educational program. Our OSINT Experts teach individuals and groups how to ethically gather and analyse information from publicly available sources, i.e. Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT).
We focus on using the Internet, social media, public databases, and other open-source materials for investigative purposes. This information can be used for background checking, security assessments, intelligence gathering and more. Of course, the best way to answer this question is to enrol!
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.
However, more specialised modules require additional skills. 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 beginners or advanced in their area.
