What does OSINT training cost and which factors influence the price?
The cost of our OSINT training is influenced by factors such as the course’s level of advancement, the delivery format (classroom vs. online), and the degree of customisation for in-house sessions. Our open enrolment courses have fixed prices, ranging from €1,689 to €1,989, including 21% VAT, which reflects the depth of the curriculum and the direct access to expert instruction.
The price of a course directly relates to the value it delivers. Advanced courses like OSINT Master and OSINT Intelligence Analysis require more complex material and in-depth instruction, which is reflected in their price. In contrast, online formats can be more accessible. For organisations, in-house training often provides better value per participant for larger groups compared to individual open enrolments.
| Course Name | Price (incl. 21% VAT) | Format | Primary Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| OSINT Explorer | €1,689 | Online | Foundational OSINT research skills with flexible learning. |
| OSINT Pathfinder | €1,789 | Classroom | Core OSINT methods and practical investigation techniques. |
| OSINT Master | €1,948 | Classroom | Advanced OSINT research and complex problem-solving. |
| OSINT Intelligence Analysis | €1,989 | Classroom | Integrating OSINT with professional intelligence analysis methodology. |
What OSINT training options suit different budgets and how do you assess value for money?
We offer OSINT training options across different price points, and the best value is determined by aligning the course content with your professional goals or organisational needs. True value for money in OSINT training comes from the quality and applicability of the knowledge gained, not just the price. It involves considering the instructor’s expertise, the practical focus of the curriculum, and the long-term impact on your investigative and analytical capabilities.
Which lower-cost OSINT training options exist for professionals who are just starting out?
Our online course, the OSINT Explorer, priced at €1,689, is an excellent and accessible option for professionals seeking a strong foundation. This format eliminates travel and accommodation costs while still providing a comprehensive curriculum based on our proven intelligence methodology, making it a budget-friendly choice without compromising on quality.
How can organisations evaluate if more advanced OSINT training offers enough added value?
To evaluate the added value of advanced training like our OSINT Master course, look beyond the price tag to the strategic benefits. Consider the depth of the skills taught, the instructor’s unique background as the former OSINT chief at the Dutch Defence Intelligence and Security Service, and the course’s focus on professional methodology over temporary tools. The return on investment is measured in enhanced operational effectiveness and the ability to handle more complex cases.
Can OSINT training be combined with internal training budgets?
Yes, absolutely. Our professional training programmes are structured to align with corporate and governmental training budget requirements. We provide clear outlines of the course objectives, curriculum, and learning outcomes, making it straightforward for you to submit for approval and utilise your organisation’s funds for professional development.
