Résztvevőink mondták

„Tarkó Áron kiváló szakember és oktató, aki az alapoktól és a megfelelő jogszabályi háttér ismeretétől vezette a csapatot a gyakorlati példákhoz. Sokan nem is gondolják, hogy az itt megszerzett tudást az élet számtalan területén kamatoztathatják.”

Korábbi élő online OSINT-képzésünk résztvevője · név nélkül közölt visszajelzés

„Hatalmas tudásanyag, amit még szerintem majd át kell olvasni és föl kell dolgozni, amit kaptunk ezen a két hétvégén.”

Korábbi élő online OSINT-képzésünk résztvevője · név nélkül közölt visszajelzés

„Én nagyon köszönöm, hogy itt lehettem. Nagyon nagy élmény volt. […] Katonai értelemben véve mondom, hogy többször műveleti területen — Irak, Afganisztán, Koszovó — hasonló módszerekkel, teljesen hasonló módszerekkel dolgoztunk az adott felderítési információ ellenőrzésére.”

Korábbi katonai elemző-értékelő főtiszt, OSINT-képzésünk résztvevője · név nélkül

„Különösen tetszett, hogy az online képzés rendkívül gyakorlatias volt, és a megszerzett tudást a gyakorlatban is alkalmazható módon adta át.”

Zétény K. · korábbi OSINT-képzésünk résztvevője

„Az OSINT-képzést hasznosnak és szemléletformálónak találtam. Számomra a nyílt forrású információk tudatos keresése, ellenőrzése és összekapcsolása bizonyult a leghasznosabbnak. A megszerzett ismeretek a munkában és a hétköznapi tájékozódásban is jól alkalmazhatók. Ajánlom mindenkinek, aki szeretne alaposabban utánajárni egy témának, és kritikusabban értékelni az interneten elérhető információkat.”

Covic Renáta · OSINT-képzésünk résztvevője

„Számomra a képzés rendkívül értékes szakmai élmény volt. Az oktató magas szintű felkészültsége, nemzetközi tapasztalata és gyakorlatias szemlélete különösen meggyőző volt. Rengeteg hasznos tudással és pozitív tapasztalattal gazdagodtam, annak ellenére hogy a szakmában dolgozom.”
