Will intelligence work meet my accessibility requirements after completion of this course?
Intelligence work is extremely broad and each case is different. Intelligence work ranges from normal office work to physically and mentally demanding activity.
Some roles, particularly those in the military or law enforcement, have physical requirements that are required by the institution rather than the role itself.
Additionally, some workplaces are better able to meet accessibility requirements than others. We recommend potential learners search for the specific roles or organisations that interest them and check those organisations’ requirements and accessibility policies before committing to our course.
Be aware that many organisations accommodate audio or visual impairment in some roles, but not all organisations or governments globally are required by law to make reasonable accommodations.
How accessible are the course resources to those who use accessibility tools?
Our regular course content functions with accessibility tools like subtitles and altering the speed and quality of the videos to ensure learners have a consistent experience regardless of their circumstances.
However, some written course material (i.e. historical documents), may not function with accessibility tools like read-aloud as they are scanned pdfs of varying quality.
This course features a broad discussion of sensitive topics, will I have any trouble accessing it in my country?
We designed our course to comply with all laws and are not aware of any legal or administrative restrictions that would prohibit access to the course. If you have specific concerns about your privacy while taking this course reach out at privacy@greydynamics.com.

We encourage feedback about the course. We integrated a feedback form into the course at the end in which learners can rate their experience and provide comments and recommendations.
