Client Testimonials

"The course was in my opinion fantastic value for money and was pitched at the appropriate level for all those in attendance. I honestly can’t recommend this course and IMSL The Intelligence People enough, if you are interested in this area of intelligence they will introduce you to a new world or enhance any knowledge and skills you already have"

RB, Law Enforcement Dept.

"I found the OSINT course provided by IMSL to be extremely helpful in providing essential tools and techniques that I could apply in my day-to-day role. The course covers an extensive range of different OSINT methods and skills that I have introduced into my team. I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone within the OSINT community to enrol onto courses offered by IMSL."

IM, Government Dept.

"The course design balanced theoretical foundations with practical, real-world applications, ensuring that we not only understood key OSINT methodologies but also developed the critical thinking skills necessary to apply them in complex scenarios. The inclusion of hands-on exercises and case studies enhanced engagement and reinforced learning outcomes."

PM, Intelligence

“A wonderful course that was eye opening in the breadth of material provided, and which aptly demonstrated the wealth of OSINT sources available for intelligence analysts across all industries.  The instructors were excellent and very diligent in terms of ensuring students understood all of the subject matter covered, doing so in a highly engaging manner. Thoroughly recommended!”
