Note: You will receive a Certificate in Intelligence Studies upon completion of all 6 classes.
You must be an Infragard member or Active Law Enforcement/Military to attend.

The “Certificate in Intelligence Studies” program offers a comprehensive and immersive exploration into the world of international espionage and intelligence. This certificate program, led by a seasoned retired CIA (SIS) Senior Operations Officer who was the Chief of Station at the CIA’s iconic training facility, provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the structures, strategies, methodologies, and capabilities of the world’s leading intelligence agencies as well as adversarial agencies.

Each class in the series is dedicated to examining the intelligence models of a specific country, offering a unique perspective on how different nations approach espionage and security. We start with the structure of US Intelligence agencies in Part 1. Then from the historical evolution of British and Russian intelligence services to the modern-day tactics of Israeli, Iranian, Chinese, and North Korean agencies, this program covers a wide range of topics. Participants will gain insights into key concepts and terminologies in espionage, such as HUMINT, SIGINT, and OSINT, and explore the historical context and evolution of modern-day intelligence.

This course is an introductory overview of the U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) from World War II to the Present. The USIC is comprised of 18 members operating under the titular guidance of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) created in response to the events of 9/11.

Led by a seasoned retired CIA (SIS) Senior Operations Officer who was the Chief of Station at the CIA’s iconic training facility, this course is the first in a series of classes designed to provide a deep dive into the clandestine world of global espionage, exploring the structures, strategies, methodologies, and capabilities of various countries’ intelligence agencies. Each session in the series will spotlight a different nation, dissecting its intelligence apparatus, historical and contemporary espionage activities, and drawing comparisons and contrasts with U.S. intelligence.
