Our Philosophy

At My OSINT Training, we’re a team of investigators, analysts, and instructors who live and breathe open-source intelligence. We’ve spent decades applying OSINT in our careers... and now we're helping law enforcement, journalists, cybersecurity professionals, corporate researchers, and everyday problem-solvers do the same. We built MOT with the heartfelt goal to make that same level of skill accessible to anyone with curiosity and a drive to learn- creating training that’s empowering, intentional, inclusive, and approachable every step of the way.

We know OSINT can feel intimidating at first, we've been there too. There’s so much jargon, endless tools, and more rabbit holes than you can count. That’s why we built every course the way we’d like to learn: approachable, engaging, step-by-step, and full of those lightbulb moments that make it all click.


Our philosophy is simple: learning should feel empowering, not overwhelming. Every video, walkthrough, and hands-on exercise is designed to meet you where you are, whether that’s your first day exploring OSINT or your tenth year in investigations. We obsess over the learner experience: emphasizing clarity in how we teach, with pacing that respects your time, and a focus on practical skills that translate directly to real-world impact.


At the end of the day, our goal isn’t just to teach OSINT. It’s to help you actually "do" OSINT... confidently, ethically, and effectively - in whatever profession you choose. And that starts right here, with training that’s as engaging as it is practical.


Want to get a sense of what our instructors and courses are like?

More Ways We Support the OSINT Community

Our mission goes beyond courses - we believe in giving every investigator the tools and confidence to keep learning, creating, and sharing.

As part of our commitment to keeping OSINT approachable and accessible, we also build and share tools, templates, and other helpful resources — completely free. These are the same kinds of utilities we use in real investigations, offered to help anyone sharpen their skills and save time. You can explore them anytime on our Free Resources page.
