Open Source Intelligence Unmanaged Distance Learning Course (DLC) for Public Authority Investigators.
This is the Blended Advanced Course covering all 18 modules.
Comprehensive OSINT Training for any aspiring OSINT practitioner in Law Enforcement or a wider Public Authority
With an Unmanaged DLC, the trainee chooses the start date of their training.
The end date will be 9 months later.
There is no option to select specific modules.
Only the whole course can be taken.
There is no possibility to take weekly tests or module tests.
The only assessment is a Final Exam that must be taken within the 9 months that the course is open.
The Unmanaged DLC provides access to a folder on the Axeten Cloud with sub-folders for each of the 18 blended modules.
In each module sub-folder, there is the reading material in PDF and a recording from a recent Live Online Training for that module.
The advanced course introduces the trainee to all aspects of investigating online resources to locate intelligence and material. The Foundation component teaches the structure and legality of the process and explains how to stay safe while being effective.
The investigative techniques taught include advanced searching of Google and other search engines, the special techniques required to locate and effectively research the multitude of social media platforms and hundreds of online databases, websites, images, e-mails and other messaging applications and other online resources such as marketplaces, blogs, forums, archives, gaming and gambling platforms, and technical assets that include but are not limited to domains, networks and the dark web.
The trainee will acquire the capability to safely deploy an investigation, in compliance with the legislation and how to locate and connect people and organisations through their online activity, even where an entity might have no intended on-line presence. The trainee will have the capability to safely gather intelligence and material, grade the evidence and compose a report with all of the attributes required for safe and effective litigation and where required, with graphic presentations of the evidence.
