About This Intelligence Community Online Course
Evidence is the cornerstone to intelligence analysis. Evidence substantiates claims about possible threats by “bad actors,” both domestically and internationally, and supports, or disproves, hypotheses about any pending situations that could impact national security.
In this self-paced, online course, you will learn why successfully marshaling, or organizing, evidence is a key component to intelligence analysis work. We will examine nine well-regarded techniques to marshal evidence and practice applying these methods when solving real-world intelligence problems.
The course is made up of nine interactive, short lessons. At the end of this online course, you will be required to take, and pass, a final exam to receive a certificate of course completion.
