Overview

On this 4-day Firebrand accelerated Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) training course, you'll develop the skills for intelligence gathering using publicly available information.

This Firebrand OSINT course introduces foundation concepts of Open Source Intelligence gathering and covers the essential tools and methods involved.

Throughout the course, you'll conduct a series of exercises to simulate investigation in a live environment, using both wired and wireless networks. As part of our unique Lecture | Lab | Review technique, all topics are reinforced with practical labs designed to accelerate your learning and develop your hands-on skills

Some of the topics you'll cover include:

  • The basics of computer networking protocols and devices
  • The concepts and terminology involved with Cyber incidents
  • Types of attack and malware
  • The basics of computer forensics
  • Incident response and the first responder
  • Capturing volatile data
  • Building and securing wireless networks

You'll also be trained by our expert instructors with years of relevant industry experience. They'll draw upon their knowledge to offer you unique and valuable insights that enrich your learning.

Seven reasons why you should sit your OSINT Foundation course with Firebrand Training

  1. You'll be OSINT Foundation certified in just 4 days. With us, you’ll be OSINT Foundation trained in record time
  2. Our OSINT Foundation course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass OSINT Foundation first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs
  4. You’ll learn more OSINT Foundation. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn OSINT Foundation faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying OSINT Foundation with the best. We’ve been named in Training Industry’s “Top 20 IT Training Companies of the Year” every year since 2010. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 134,561 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study OSINT Foundation courseware. We use practical exercises to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging

Benefits

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering training. Courses that include certification come with a certification guarantee. Pass first time or train again for free (just pay for accommodation and exams on your return). We do not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes.
