REAL STORIES FROM REAL CUSTOMERS
Silvere M.
The course is very well structured and written. We see that teacher got a very
interesting professionnal experience. He explain in simple term the intelligence
process and the analysis technics to create clear report. Also discussions on
specific part of the course and dissertation are mandatory before taking the
exam part. Highly recommended for law enforcement professionnals as well as
cyber Intel professional , COSINT course will provide you all what you need to
learn in OSINT domain (not only technical point of views).
Ali Q
It has been great experience of understanding a lot about Osint and social media
usefulness, it can enhanced my capacity of understanding how easy one can assess
profile of target, how photo can easily assist law enforcement officers to
check, many tactics of mapping snaps, and many more generally it has been good
knowledge which I believe it will contribute to my future aspect about OSINT,
Thanks for your support and simple course units McAfee prepared for its
students.
Damian C.
I’m quite impressed with the content material. It’s straightforward no nonsense
learning. It’s relevant and beneficial as an educational tool for LE
professionals seeking to upskill without the complexities of admission to
tertiary institutions. The undertaking is not something to be sneezed at given
the time involved to cover the content. I’d like to see course offerings on
forensics and scene of crime analysis! Perhaps that’s in the works!

FAQS
FREQUENTLY QUESTIONS ASKED
WHEN DOES THE PROGRAM START?
Upon Enrollment you can start immediately! You have one year from purchase to
complete the final exam. Enjoy unlimited access to the program material and
future updates to the course!
I KNOW THAT IF I COMMIT FULLY AND APPLY WHAT I LEARN, I’LL GET TREMENDOUS VALUE.
THAT SAID, HOW MUCH TIME DO I NEED TO SET ASIDE EACH WEEK?
If you plan to work through the program to be more effective at work in the
quickest and most effective manner, we recommend between 4-6 hours per week to
watch the training, complete your assignments and — if you’d like — engage with
our mentors and the community. Many of our students go through the program as
best they can; pause and return to it as their schedule allows. If you’re not
able to carve out that much time at first, don’t worry. You get lifetime access
to the training and can easily work at your own pace, on your own schedule. Most
of our students have full-time jobs or businesses and families. This experience
is designed to stretch you, but it can also be customized to your life. The more
focus and dedication you put into the program, the more you’ll get out of it. To
be clear, there are no fast or guaranteed results. Advancing your career,
credibility, and expertise so that it actually matters is not an 6-week, linear
event. This program mirrors the reality of being one of the best cyber
intelligence & investigative professionals around the world — it’s intense,
time-consuming, demanding and something you’ll work on for the life of your
business.
DO I NEED TO ATTEND THE C|OSINT AT CERTAIN TIMES OR CAN I ACCESS IT ANY TIME I
WANT?
You can access the material at your convenience. The core training consists of
pre-recorded videos, tutorials, investigative assignments, resources, and
worksheets so you can access the materials anytime you want.
WHAT ARE THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS?
Eligibility Requirements Bachelor’s degree or higher (no experience is needed)
OR Associates degree plus 2 YEARS of professional work experience in e-commerce,
fraud, investigations, IT, law enforcement, forensics, criminal justice, law,
and loss prevention
OR High school diploma or equivalency plus 3 YEARS of professional work
experience as stated above.
Also, a person convicted of a felony, any crime of moral turpitude or
misdemeanor relating to honesty, theft, embezzlement, fraud or the like shall be
ineligible to become a C|OSINT. The applicant must successfully pass the
prescribed background check, which may include a criminal background check and
examination process. Falsification or omission of information on the application
form will be reason enough to disqualify an applicant from becoming or remaining
Certified in Open Source Intelligence.
