SOCIAL MEDIA INVESTIGATIONS
A three module Open Source Intelligence course that teaches the essential skills and techniques to process social media platforms as part of an investigation.
The Social Media course will provide a beginner with the capabilities to be a valuable member of an OSINT team. Also, it works as an excellent refresher for the experienced social media investigator.
The social media landscape changes so frequently that it is difficult for a practitioner to be consistently effective without regular training.
If you take this SOCMINT course, it is prudent to have taken the 2 module foundation course. Also, consider extending your knowledge and skills by taking the 5 other modules in the OSINT Practitioner Training (LOT-X-P). This will complete your training. We will discount the cost of the LOT-X-P as you do not need to take again the three modules from this SOCMINT course.
MATERIALS PROVIDED WITH THE DLC-X-S
No previous OSINT experience is required. For people with good computer skills.
For each module of this DLC training, two items of training material are provided.
1. A Help Notes & Links file in PDF. One for each module.
The pages in these files correlate to the slides in the Video Recording, for each module, with step-by-step process descriptions and links to all of the online resources covered in the module.
2. A Video Recording of each Module from the most recent Live Online Training is provided.
