Although anyone can claim the title of “intelligence analyst,” there are currently few commonly understood, standardized certifications available to confirm analytic skill and proficiency. Some may argue that each analytic assessment should be judged on its content and not on the certification or reputation of the author. However, an analytic product can often read well even though its analytic underpinnings are flawed. Also, it would be beneficial to have some objective measure of an analyst’s skill before selecting him for a task, rather than to discover afterwards that the analyst was unable to meet the task. Having addressed why certifications are needed and assuming certifications would provide a worthwhile benefit, the discussion then turns to how and in what areas should one attain certification. Through an analysis of the concept of analysis, the author proposes that three basic divisions should be created to train and certify one as either a descriptive, explanative, or predictive analyst. This course provides level 1 certification as a descriptive intelligence analyst.
Who this course is for:
- This course is intended for the new intelligence analyst who has little to no prior experience. This course will provide the basic analytic skills necessary to produce basic, logically sound, descriptive intelligence analysis.
- More experienced intelligence analysts will also find this course provides great “back to basics” refresher training.

An eye opener to how the mind is influenced, works and how it subsequently affects our judgements. Much more, learning how to navigate and find the appropriate view inspite of our biases.

Perhaps this course did not help me due to the different type of analysis – This is good for criminal justice and the electronic record builder
however, this course was selected by my boss and not myself

Clear, on point and nothing more. Too much valuable information such a short time. Great book suggestions to learn more.

I find Udemy can be a bit hit or miss but this was a really great course! I highly recommend. Relevant and interesting content, lots of great resources. Even having knowledge of some of the concepts I learnt a lot. Robert is clearly experienced and knowledgeable, easy to listen to and to relate to. As someone whose a hands on learner, I really enjoyed the quizzes and activities.
Thank you!

I know what I’m about to say might sound kinda dumb but I feel smarter after taking this course. I used their techniques to complete the final exam. Already Enrolled For Their Level 2!

This course is amazing and insightful. However, it needs improvement on:
1. The lecturer speech is too fast. Personally, it wasn’t much hassle but it could have been better if it went a little bit slower. This can be considered in upcoming courses.
2. Some material links and extra resources are not updated. Some links have expired.
3. Transcript should be available in a downloadable text format.
Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you.

I think the instruction highlights their and reference works way too much as a justification to the importance of critical thinking.
Peter Spindley –
This is a good introduction to the basic foundations. It covers the material at about the right pace and the exercise was useful.
The occasional visual jokes are quite good as well.

I really enjoy that the course has given several opportunities to test skills during the lesson. Additionaly resources, such as more scenarious to practice on with insight from the instructor would be useful as well.
