The Program.
Our Training is not about our platform. We’re not interested in showing you how our tool works; we’re interested in making OSINT Experts.
Our OSINT Training program starts with an immersive look at foundational skills essential for effective OSINT investigation, such as operational security (OPSEC). Which modules you choose from here? That's up to you.
From learning basics on day one to the point of OSINT mastery, our trainees engage in practical exercises that mirror the realities of investigative work, progressing from theoretical scenarios to applying these skills on real cases in-session. This hands-on approach couples with mentorship from our Expert investigators, seamlessly integrating practical application and experience into the learning environment.
This is why our trainees leave uniquely prepared for real-life professional challenges.
OpSec Fundamentals
Build a strong foundation. Master the art of Operational Security (OpSec) to shield your investigations against potential threats and exposures.
Hands-On Learning
Gain direct, hands-on experience with practical training. Ditch theoretical scenarios for the real thing, working on real cases in-session.
Active Case Involvement
Contribute to ongoing investigations under the mentorship of experienced professionals. Learn to apply your skills in the field.
Expert Collaboration
Join a collaborative environment where students and trainers tackle cases together, fostering a deep understanding of why OSINT needs teamwork.
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.
For a narcotics investigator, our basic OSINT course builds foundational skills. Adding our GeoINT module will supercharge your ability to identify and pinpoint suspect locations. Add Blockchain Skills, and tracking laundered or illicit funds comes naturally too.
Operational Skills Modules
A foundational module, OSINT on Individuals teaches fundamental techniques for gathering detailed intelligence on persons-of-interest - using only open-source publicly available information.
Engage freely accessible sources - social media platforms, public records, forums, and online databases - to get to know your targets.
Learn how 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 secrets and obscure details. Master data verification and analysis. Navigate the deep web and understand how to find data that is not immediately visible via OSINT's virtual magnifying glass.
As always, you'll learn through hands-on exercises and real-world scenarios that bring OSINT to life.
All trainees can benefit from this module's foundational knowledge set. It's ideal for law enforcement, cybersecurity, professionals, journalists, private investigators, and more.

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!
