OSINT I — Foundations of Open-Source Investigation

Online course • $50 • Canva-delivered access

OSINT I teaches a disciplined foundation for public-source investigation: define the question, find relevant public information, trace the source trail, verify what was found, document the record, and state only what the information supports.

The learner path uses the same synthetic Ridgeview case throughout and includes five modules, learner tools, and a final assessment. Target learner time is approximately 75–88 minutes including tool tasks, pauses, and assessment.

Course sequence: Foundations & Boundaries; Define the Question & Plan the Search; Search Like an Investigator; Verify What You Found; Build the Finding; Final Assessment.

This course teaches research and analytical methods involving publicly available information. It does not independently authorize investigative techniques, access methods, retention, dissemination, or evidentiary handling. Follow applicable law and policy.
