Open Source Research & Analysis Training

Beyond the basics…

Picture
The continuing growth of the Internet and the vast amount of information it carries offers both challenges and opportunities for researchers and investigators. Knowing how to search beyond the basic methods and find and use un-mined data can be an enormous asset to your business or personal professional CV. 

OS2 training courses offer a clear and informative way to learn about gathering and using intelligence for a number of purposes. Courses can benefit those already working in the intelligence industries as well as those wanting to add another dimension to their professional researcher skills. Our researcher courses are also useful for people who are not involved in intelligence or security work but who may like to learn new research skills to enhance their work. 

Combining expertise and experience from a range of backgrounds, OS2 offer courses across a number of levels. You can choose one of our standard courses or let us know your requirements and let us create a tailor made course for you.  Training can be carried out in either our fully equipped training room or alternatively we are able to come to you.
