★★★★★

Best OSINT training!

"I keep coming back to the same conclusion: the course is excellent, perhaps the best I have taken in this field. Small classes, personal attention. Great variety and interactive lessons. Keep it up — what a shame I have now finished it. I hope to come back one day, and I will certainly recommend this course over the competition to colleagues."

Wish I had known sooner!

"I think the setup and venue facilities are excellent. The instructor is also great — knowledgeable, sharp and attentive. I find the course material and content remarkably up to date (AI elements were covered and applied, as well as relevant themes in the exercises)."

★★★★★

Absolutely excellent!

"Very well put together; high-quality content, a lot of material is covered, but much of it is revisited and the instruction is adjusted in real time to the level and needs of the group. I honestly cannot think of anything to improve.. and that is truly a rare thing ;). Absolutely outstanding!"

Virtual experience is excellent too!

"I attended the training virtually due to the travel distance, and I have to say it is truly the best training I have taken in years. I was apprehensive about the online lessons, but it was simply very well organized, with good equipment and interactive sessions. A broad course with great skill and knowledge from the instructor and the training institute."

Excellent explanations!

"Excellent explanations, a great instructor who takes the time to explain things thoroughly, broad curriculum. I attended from home and it was a great success and went very smoothly."

★★★★★

Structured approach!

"During the course I gained a lot of knowledge, especially when it comes to a structured approach and a cycle. This showed me that in the past I searched too chaotically and too quickly, without any form of structure. The practical assignments were well designed, and during the evaluation we could clearly see where we had made mistakes."
