A BOOT is open to anyone anywhere with a online investigation remit.
The online training, is a blend of portable document files (PDF) containing OSINT training material. The PDF for a module is module delivered to each trainee by e-mail one week before the Live Online Training (LOT) commences.
For each module, the trainee should allow for 1 to 2 hours of study time, to read the material and perform the exercises, preferably before the LOT for that module.
The time for this activity is included in the CPD. So that of the 15 CPD hours for this course, 6 hours is study time, 8 hours is live training and 1 hour is tests & exam.
The reality is that many delegates read the PDFs in preparation for a Final Exam. That is prudent as the subject matter of many exam questions is covered in the PDFs.
However, to get the most out of the LOT, where tools, techniques and resources are all demonstrated live and online, it is best to read the PDFs before the live training.
Live Online Training (LOT) events are delivered on Tuesdays, usually starting at 9am UK time.
The typical duration of a LOT is 160 minutes, though the duration can range from 120 to 180.
Each Live Online Training will commence with a Q&A session; so delegates can ask any questions concerning the current module.
After that, the trainer will cover the salient points of the module in some detail.
Processing modules are packed with real-time live demonstrations.
The trainer might set a short quiz to see how you are doing.
The intention is that, by the end of each Live Online Training, every delegate shall have the capability to conduct OSINT processes relevant to the current module.
The Live Online Training is delivered through two platforms, concurrently. They are the privacy aware BraveTalk and Zoom.
With BraveTalk, we provide one URL to connect and the same URL works for all modules on the course.
It is not necessary to download and install the Brave browser. You can connect with any browser, though Brave is a Chromium Browser and so BraveTalk does work better on another Chromium browser.
Zoom is not not privacy conscious. Even though Axeten has a premium account, Zoom will try to collect data about people connecting to the LOT.
So why do we use it? Because its popular and people rely on it.
Each LOT can be accessed from your office, from the delegate's home or even from a mobile device.
However, to fully participate and to process any tasks set by the trainer, during the Live Online Training, it's always more productive to use a desktop computer with two displays.
With one display, you can observe the training and on the other display, you can process any tasks set by the trainer.
At the end of each weekly Live Online Training, any client might request that each of their delegates should take a short online test.
The tests are not mandatory, but it is recommended that all delegates take the tests. They allow each trainee to assess their progress and to become familiar with the evaluation process, which is the same in the Final Exam.
At the end of the Training, there is an option for each trainee to take final exam and receive a certificate
The final exam is online. Time can be taken to study the printed material before taking the exam.
Each delegate can select their exam date, up to 30 days after the end of the training.
The exam has about 15 multiple choice questions.
Time allowed: 45 minutes.
The candidate will require access to the internet to process live investigations.
Where the 70% pass mark is achieved, CPD credits are awarded.
Otherwise, a Certificate of Attendance is issued with no CPD credits.
Each Live Online Training is recorded.
Delegates that are not able to attend a Live Online Training can request access to the recording.
There is no additional fee for the recording service.
