Training

Training

Modular OSINT training designed for operational teams: core pathways to align baseline tradecraft, plus specialist modules in verification, geolocation, imagery, and automation.

OSINT

OSINT

Operational OSINT training covering collection, triage, source handling, verification discipline, and reporting - built to support live investigative work under time pressure.

Specialist Training

Specialist Training

Specialist OSINT modules for teams with an existing baseline - verification, geolocation, imagery analysis, and automation designed to plug into your workflow.

Verification & Validation

Verification & Validation

Verification training that strengthens source integrity and reduces false positives - provenance, corroboration, confidence grading, and clear documentation habits.

Training Overview

Operational OSINT training for investigative and intelligence teams

OSINT isn’t about chasing tools. It’s about running and maintaining a process under pressure: defining the intelligence requirements, collecting with intent, verifying what matters, and reporting clearly.

Our training is grounded in intelligence tradecraft and investigative workflow. Participants learn how to frame taskings, plan and document collection, evaluate sources, capture key context, and produce actionable assessments.

Training Courses

OSINT Fundamentals

OSINT Fundamentals establishes the core tradecraft required for consistent and actionabler open-source intelligence work. It is suitable for analysts and investigators who are new to OSINT, as well as teams who already use open sources but want to formalise how they work.

The course focuses on building a methodological baseline. Participants learn how to structure their work from the outset, rather than relying on ad-hoc searching or undocumented judgement calls.

  • Framing intelligence questions and defining scope
  • Structured collection planning and documentation
  • Primary vs secondary source differentiation
  • Source reliability and credibility evaluation
  • Basic verification and corroboration techniques
  • Assessment writing and confidence language

OSINT Advanced

Advanced OSINT is designed for experienced practitioners working with complex identities, contested narratives, or adversarial behaviour. The course assumes familiarity with structured OSINT methods and moves at pace.

Participants work through realistic scenarios involving partial, misleading, or manipulated information. Emphasis is placed on judgement, documentation of assumptions, and defending assessments under review.

  • Cross-platform identity and entity resolution
  • Advanced verification and validation workflows
  • Temporal and contextual consistency analysis
  • Detection of impersonation and deceptive behaviour
  • Handling degraded or incomplete datasets
  • Defending analytical judgements and conclusions
Outcomes

Training outcomes

By the end of OSINT training, teams work open sources with a shared standard. Typical outcomes include clearer tasking, stronger verification habits, and outputs that are easier to review and hand over.

The aim is durable capability. Methods taught during the course are designed to be embedded into how the team works, a more sustainable approach to developing OSINT capabilities.

FAQ

Open questions from our customers

The course is designed for analysts, investigators, and security professionals who use open sources as part of their work, including government, law enforcement, defence, and corporate teams.

The training focuses on how to frame questions, select appropriate sources, assess reliability, and document analytical assessments throughout an investigation. Participants are guided through consistent data collection and analysis workflows that emphasise verification, context, and analytical integrity, ensuring findings can be reviewed and operationally applied.

The training is practical and technical, but always applied. Participants learn how tools, platforms, and techniques actually behave in real investigations; not just how to click through them. This includes understanding data structures, platform limitations, attribution challenges, verification risks, and how adversaries attempt to obscure or manipulate open information. The focus is on developing sound methodology rather than tool dependency.

By the end of the training, participants will be able to plan and execute structured OSINT investigations, assess the reliability of sources and findings, and produce actionable outputs. They will understand how to document their methodology, explain confidence levels, and apply OSINT ethically and responsibly within operational or organisational constraints - rather than relying on ad-hoc searches or unverified assumptions.
