SOCIAL MEDIA & ONLINE MARKETPLACES
A three module Social Media and Online Marketplaces private course for up to 20 trainees, that teaches the essential skills and techniques to process social media and online market places as part of an investigation.
The Private Social Media course will provide a beginner, returner or self taught investigator with the capabilities to be a valuable member of an OSINT team.
After the SOCMINT course, trainees should extend thier knowledge and skills by taking a private OSINT Course (LOT-P-O) or open OSINT Course (LOT-X-O). This will complete their training. We will discount the cost of the LOT-P-O or LOT-X-O as trainees do not need to take again the three modules from this SOCMINT course.
MODULES PROVIDED IN THE LOT-P-S
No prior experience required.
A Live Online Training (LOT) course.
With each module of the course, two items of training material are provided.

The pages correlate to the slides in the LOT with step-by-step process descriptions and links to all of the online resources covered in the module.
Trainees do not spend any time taking notes. All the notes they will ever need a provided. Trainees can focus on the LOT.
2. After each module, a video recording of the LOT can be requested. Never miss a thing with an Axeten Live Online Training.

This course is the Social Media and Online Marketplaces modules of the Online OSINT Training
Private Live Online Training (LOT) events are delivered on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays.
Start Notice: By e-mail, each delegate is sent a reminder, 24 hours and 1 hour before the upcoming Live Online Training commences.
Each Live Online Training is delivered in the morning, within the UTC 0 time zone.
Axeten has the capacity to deliver in other time zones.
The typical duration of a LOT is 240 minutes. 30 Minutes is for the Module Test.
Each Live Online Training will commence with a Q&A session; so delegates can ask any questions about the course and any previous module.
After that, the trainer will cover the salient points of the current module in some detail.
Processing modules are packed with real-time live demonstrations.
Trainees can interact with the trainer. Where the trainer sets a task, the trainee can share their screen to display their processing of the task.
At the end of the course, monthly updates to changes in the OSINT space are provided by e-mail to each delegate who subscribes to the monthly OSINT newsletter.
The client may choose the delivery platform.
Our preferred delivery platform is Brave Talk because it respects user privacy.
Also, there is a choice of Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
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.
Learn all about browsers in module 3 of the BOOT course.
Zoom & Teams are not privacy conscious.
Even though Axeten has premium accounts, Zoom & Microsoft will collect data about people connecting with these platforms.
Also, each module will have an different URL and therefore an invite for each module.
So why do we use them? Because they are popular, particularly with IT service providers and people rely on them.
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.
Assessment & Certification is optional. The client decides.
All assessment is online with multiple choice questions.
At the end of each module, the trainee can take a Module Test.
