FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Axeten III (OSINT) Assessment FAQs

Q1. I took a course with a different training company. Can I take the Axeten III (OSINT) assessment?

A1. Yes. Anyone can take the assessment for a course. Choose the course that works best for the skills & knowledge you have acquired.

 

Q2. I scored less than 70% on a Module Test. I know I can do better. Can I retake the test?

A2. Yes. Retakes are free.

 

Q3. Does my score display on the certificate?

A3. Yes, but only if you wish.

 

Q4. I have been doing III (OSINT) for years, but I am self trained. Can I take the assessment?

A4. Yes. Choose the course that works best for the skills & knowledge you possess.

 

Q5. What do I need to take a Module Test?

A5. Other than good knowledge of the subject matter, you should have a reliable internet connection, a reliable computer with an up-to-date operating system, with at least one Mozilla & one Chromium browser installed and up-to-date. Also, we recommend that you should deploy a reliable Processing Persona and a non-attributable connection to the internet.

 

Q6. I started a Module Test, but was called away on an important matter. When I came to resume the test, it had timed out. Can you restart the test at the point where I had to leave?

A6. No. A Module Test has to be taken in one sitting with no interruptions. Do not start the test until you are sure you can comply. You can retake the test free of charge.

 

Q7. Can I see what CPD credits are available on all your courses?

A7. Please see the CPD Accreditation Summary page. For Law Enforcement Officers, the CPD credits are a little greater.

 

Q8. I don't want to take any tests. All I want to do is learn some OSINT. Is that OK?

A8. Yes, but if your employer has paid for the course, you might want to get their agreement about no assessment. You will not receive any CPD Credits.

 

Q9. For the live training I missed, I did watch the recordings. Even though I failed the assessment, can I have a Certificate of Attendance?

A9. Yes. If you scored 50% on any missed Module, you will receive a Certificate of Attendance.

 

Q10. I failed the Module 1 Test, but passed every other module with 90% or more. Do I receive a Certificate of Achievement?

A10. Not until you retake and pass the Module 1 Test. Retakes are free.

 

Q11. My employer blocks access to Facebook so I could not answer the Facebook questions and failed that Module Test. Can I have an exemption from the Facebook questions?

A11. No. Before you retake the Module Test, be sure that your employer grants you access to Facebook and all other Social Media platforms covered in the course. If that does not happen, consider taking the test from home or somewhere else that does not restrict internet access. Your employer needs to take the OSINT Foundation Course.
