Structured training in open-source intelligence and people-finding methods used by working investigators — not tool lists, not certificate factories.
You can buy a $30 Udemy course full of outdated Google dorks, or spend thousands on a certificate that impresses almost no one who actually does this work. There is a middle ground for people who need to get reliable results on real cases.
We do not sell “780 tools”. We do not promise you will become a cyber warrior in a weekend. We do not hide behind marketing language. If a technique is oversold online, we will tell you.
Judgment, source evaluation, structured search, documentation standards, legal boundaries, and the actual workflows that working skip tracers, private investigators, and compliance analysts use every day.
Start with Foundations if you are new. Move into Applied Skip Tracing or Verification once you have the core methods. Advanced modules are built for people already working cases.
The disciplined starting point. Search methodology, source reliability, workstation setup, social media intelligence, public records, and how to avoid the common traps that make investigations collapse under scrutiny.
Locating people who do not want to be found, or who have simply disappeared into the noise. Australian and broader public-record methods, social pivoting, address history, contact tracing, and ethical boundaries.
How to decide what is actually true. Cross-checking claims, image and video verification, archive analysis, and producing findings that will stand up if someone challenges them.
Turning raw findings into clear, defensible reports. Case management, documentation standards, client communication, and how professional investigators structure their work so it remains usable months later.
Platform-specific techniques that still work, sock-puppet discipline, network mapping, and extracting usable intelligence from profiles, posts, and connections without burning accounts or crossing legal lines.
The complete sequence: Foundations → Skip Tracing → Verification → Workflow. Designed for people who want a coherent, professional-grade skillset rather than isolated modules.
We teach techniques that survive contact with actual cases, privacy law, platform changes, and the fact that subjects sometimes actively avoid discovery.
Knowing which source to trust, when to stop searching, and how to weigh conflicting information is more valuable than memorising another search operator.
Findings that cannot be explained or reproduced are almost worthless. We treat report writing and evidence handling as core tradecraft.
Australian Privacy Act considerations, pretexting boundaries, and what “open source” actually means in practice are covered directly, not as an afterthought.
If you need a certificate for a LinkedIn profile, there are cheaper options. If you need methods that hold up when the work is real, this is closer to the mark.
If you are unsure which path fits your current work, send a short note about what you actually do. We will tell you honestly whether this is the right place.
