ADVANCED OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE COURSE

Open Source Information Collection, Analysis and Production

Our Advanced Open Source Intelligence Course is a comprehensive training package aimed at researchers, investigators, law enforcement, government, military & decision support personnel. We teach you how to use advanced methods & techniques to collect, analyse & produce high quality open source intelligence & support your mission.

Our techniques expand on regular OSINT programs by ensuring all actions are nested within a strategic context so the information can be turned into actionable intelligence. We focus heavily on creating repeatable success by teaching the "what" & "how" to give a depth of knowledge that will prepare you for future changes & challenges in the OSINT environment and reduce the reliance on third party tools.

Additionally, we go beyond standard OSINT courses by teaching you how to leverage AI for tasks such as facial recognition & sentiment analysis without requiring technical skills and how to incorporate advanced tool-sets into your workflows to create significant efficiencies & scale.
