CPD Accredited Introduction to Research Course

They lecturers were both fabulous. I got more from that week than all the training courses I’ve had over 30 years. Just shows how far things have progressed. March 2023.

IA Course - Wyboston

A very comprehensive course. Pitched at the right level for my knowledge and expertise as someone who had been working in an analyst role for a couple of months. The trainers had a huge amount of fascinating experience and expertise. I really enjoyed hearing about the real-world examples they had worked on, and how the work of the analysts had contributed to these investigations.

Introduction to Research Course - Wyboston

Liked the most: being around many other new Researchers who came from a variety of backgrounds and organisations, this meant we could all learn from each other and provide different sources of information that we had used in our day jobs thus far.

IA Course - Wyboston

Course covered a good range of intel products and scenarios, good introduction to how things work in practice – it gave me a good starting point to then continue to develop my knowledge and skills on the job.

Advanced Thinking for Strategic Products Course - Wyboston

100% feel more confident in tackling any document I am tasked with at work, I had completed some work the week before the course, and knowing what I do now I could have written it a lot better, in terms have having the correct preparation for it, (instead of just research on a piece of paper under relevant headers).

IA Course - Wyboston

“Holistic content, left feeling like I know way more about the field how intelligence analysis is used and applied. I feel like I can use this experience in multiple different fields of work. ”

IA Course -

“I liked the mix of interactive content and theory content – I feel that it gave us a really good opportunity to put into practice what we had learnt.”

IA Course

“I was aware of some of the techniques prior to the course but had little context in terms of how and when to use them. The practical exercises were good to illustrate what technique can be used to best suit the scenario and information available.”

IA Course

“I feel the course gave me everything it could to equip me with the knowledge and skills to perform tactical level intelligence analysis. Although I had prior knowledge to the NIM & certain products, having practical examples & real experience put with it made it all make a lot more sense.”

IA Course

“I really liked the activities and doing them manually in particular as it got you thinking about the reasoning behind each technique and how the methodology works, rather than just using a program like i2 that completes it for you. It really aided my understanding.”

IA Course

“I really liked the practical parts of the course. The group work was both instructive and good practice for collaborative projects.”

IA Course

“Being in the analytical field for a number of years, some of the stuff were familiar to me already, but I really enjoyed every module especially the charting methods and different ways of building on intelligence”

I’m quite new to my role but I did have an idea of what I might have been expecting however the lecturer certainly did an incredible job of executing the course and the importance of the Researcher role. I have left the course feeling very confident with my understanding of my role and I know I can utilise my knowledge to the best of my ability.

IA Course - Wyboston March 2023

“Holistic content, left feeling like I know way more about the field how intelligence analysis is used and applied. I feel like I can use this experience in multiple different fields of work. ”

IA Course - Wyboston July 2020

This course delivered everything, I could fully relate my role to the different elements of the course and it offered a greater understanding of my role and how I can improve and adapt further, It also massively helped me in the completion of my IPP.

IA Course - Wyboston March 2023

I left the course being excited to get back to work and start applying what we had learned, I don’t think you can ask for a lot more from a training course than that!
