OSINT Training in the UK

Professional OSINT training is not about tools — it is about thinking, structure, and judgement.

Our UK-based OSINT training is designed for organisations and individuals who require lawful, defensible open-source intelligence that can be trusted in operational, legal, or strategic decision-making.

This is not hobbyist OSINT.
It is professional intelligence training, grounded in real-world investigations.

Who our OSINT training is for

Our training programmes are designed for:

✔ Law enforcement and government teams
✔ Corporate security and intelligence functions
✔ Legal professionals and investigators
✔ Due diligence and risk teams
✔ Organisations operating in sensitive or hostile environments

Not suitable for:

  • Casual or curiosity-driven learners

  • Tool-only or shortcut-focused courses

  • “How to stalk someone online” content

If intelligence outputs must stand up to scrutiny, this training is appropriate.

What our OSINT training covers

Training content is tailored to audience and mandate, but typically includes:

  • OSINT methodology and structured investigation

  • Lawful collection boundaries and ethics

  • Source evaluation and confidence grading

  • Correlation, validation, and bias awareness

  • Digital footprint and exposure analysis

  • People, company, and asset investigations

  • Social media and online behaviour analysis

  • Reporting for decision-makers, not analysts

  • Operational security (OPSEC) for investigators

Emphasis is placed on process and judgement, not memorisation.

How our OSINT training is delivered

Training can be delivered as:

  • In-person UK classroom courses

  • Closed-group corporate or government training

  • Bespoke courses aligned to specific mandates

  • Scenario-based exercises and case studies

  • Short awareness briefings or multi-day programmes

Content is adapted to legal framework, audience experience, and operational context.

What makes our OSINT training different

Many OSINT courses focus on:

  • Tool demonstrations

  • Platform walkthroughs

  • Checklist-style research

Our training focuses on:

  • How investigations fail

  • Where assumptions creep in

  • How intelligence is misused or misunderstood

  • How to write findings others can act on

The objective is competence and confidence, not tool dependency.

Relationship to investigative services

Our OSINT training is directly informed by live work, including:

  • Open-source investigations

  • OSINT audits and digital exposure assessments

  • Legal and corporate intelligence support

This ensures training remains relevant, realistic, and current.

Typical outcomes of OSINT training

Participants leave with:

  • A structured OSINT methodology

  • Clear legal and ethical boundaries

  • Improved analytical judgement

  • Better reporting and briefing skills

  • Awareness of exposure and misuse risks

  • Confidence to operate without over-reliance on tools

Training is designed to improve decision quality, not just information volume.
