FAQs
What do I get with a paid membership?
You get instant access to premium articles, exclusive video lessons, case study breakdowns, tools, and resources created by certified intelligence, cyber, and law enforcement professionals. Members also receive priority updates, early access to events, and member-only bonus content.
Is this the same as enrolling in a certification program?
No. Membership provides access to exclusive content, training tips, and real-world insights, but it does not include full certification programs or exams. You’ll still need to enroll separately for official certifications like C|OSINT or CECI.
Who is this membership for?
This is for law enforcement professionals, intelligence analysts, military personnel, and aspiring investigators who want access to continuous learning, tools, and real-world tips to stay sharp and competitive in their field.
Do you offer a free version?
Yes! Our free membership includes access to selected articles, news, podcast episodes, and updates. You’ll need to upgrade to access premium content, downloads, or deeper training resources.
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. You can cancel your membership at any time—no questions asked. You’ll retain access to premium content through the remainder of your billing cycle.
Do I get access to new content automatically?
Yes! As long as you're an active member, you'll get access to all new premium posts, resources, and tools we publish during your membership.
Is the membership tax-deductible or eligible for tuition reimbursement?
In many cases, yes—especially for professionals using it as continuing education. Please check with your employer, agency, or tax advisor for specifics.
Is this content included in certification programs I’ve already purchased?
Some of it may overlap, but paid membership content is designed to supplement, not replace, our certification training. Think of it as ongoing education between or beyond formal courses.
How often is new content added?
New premium content is published weekly, including OSINT walkthroughs, cyber investigation tips, leadership insights, and more.
Do I get support or mentoring with my membership?
Not directly. Membership gives you access to training resources, but one-on-one support or instructor mentoring is reserved for certification students. If you'd like personalized coaching, contact us to explore upgrade options.
