Courses

6. Intelligence Dissemination Fundamentals
Once intelligence analysts finalize their product, they must ensure it reaches the right customers. Intelligence Dissemination can be challenging, especially with a large customer base. For a smaller audience, comprehension often requires briefing. This course tackles the complexities of getting intelligence into the hands of those who need it most.
4. Intelligence Processing Fundamentals
Having grasped how intelligence is collected, let’s shift gears to Intelligence Processing. This crucial stage bridges the gap between raw data and actionable intelligence. Imagine a farmer sifting through a harvest – processing separates the valuable wheat from the chaff of irrelevant information.
5. Intelligence Analysis Fundamentals
Now that information has been collected and processed, it’s time to use it to answer the intelligence customer’s requirements and the critical thinking stage: Intelligence Analysis. This course focuses on the basics of intelligence analysis and serves as an introduction for the more in-depth courses on analysis.

If there are any technical issues with accessing the feedback form, please contact accessibility@greydynamics.com.

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.

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However, some written course material (i.e. historical documents), may not function with accessibility tools like read-aloud as they are scanned pdfs of varying quality.

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.

For privacy and accessibility issues please email privacy@greydynamics.com or accessibility@greydynamics.com as appropriate.
