Elicitation Techniques and the Recruitment
Process from the Intelligence and
Counterintelligence Perspective
Elicitation and recruitment are core capabilities and practices of

intelligence, counterintelligence and security professionals
throughout the world of intelligence collection. Examined from
either an offensive or defensive perspective, both are interrelated
disciplines that must be understood in order to successfully mount
human collection operations or defend against them.
This course will explore how and why the elicitation discipline
works and who it is directly related to in the five-stage recruitment
LENGTH: 1 day
cycle. Understanding the basics of the techniques are essential to
recognize when elicitation is being implemented against an
individual. This course illustrates the recruitment cycle with
dramatic, real world examples.
“It was really an eye opener. I never realized that things seeming
so natural could be used as a collection tool by the adversary.
I plan to be more mindful of who I’m talking to and pay attention
to questions begin asked.”
“This will assist in recognizing elicitation techniques while

traveling overseas.”
“Increased my awareness of intelligence activities.”

The John Walker Case: Implications and
Lessons Learned for Today’s Challenges
John Walker, along with his brother Arthur, his son Michael and his
best friend Jerry Whitworth were arrested for espionage in May 1985.
He and eventually his network had spied for the KGB since December
1967. CI Centre Professor and former KGB Major General Oleg Kalugin
supervised this case for the Soviet KGB from beginning to end. After
Walker’s arrest, he was taken to the Baltimore Field Office of the FBI
where CI Centre Professor David Major was the CI Supervisor and
Program Manager.
Starting with the Lipka espionage case in 1967, the story of these
LENGTH: 1 day
18 years will be explored as never before. This course covers topics
such as: how the case was handled by the KGB and its importance
to the Soviets, why it lasted for so long, and how this case was
uncovered. The damage to U.S. national security that resulted from
this extremely important case and its impact on the Vietnam War will
also be explored. The arrest of the Walker espionage ring resonated
within the national security community and in the White House. The
end result was a series of presidential policy decisions to break the
back of Soviet/Russian intelligence in the United States. The lessons
of these events and their legacy for today’s counterintelligence issues
will be discussed in this course.
“I now have a better understanding of why people become spies and

the web they weave around them that may involve friends and family.”

Technological Espionage Wars
BOURBON - SILVER - GOLD - IVY BELLS - TAW - ABSORB - KH-11

- RYAN - TRANSPONDER - MONOPOLY.....These are only a few of some
of the most sensitive, inventive and sometimes dramatic
operations in the technological espionage wars. From sewers,
buildings, bridges, basements, tunnels and railways to the depth of
the ocean floor, around the world and in space, technical collections
espionage operations have been implemented with amazing secrecy
and bravado. The battles were waged out of the sight and sound of
the public. The KGB, CIA, NSA, NRO, NASA, FBI and the U.S. Navy
have conducted some of the most successful, productive and
imaginative technical intelligence collections conceived. The
development, deployment, productivity and subsequent compromise LENGTH: 1 day
of some of these highly classified projects represented some of the
most daring unknown battles in the espionage wars. The details of
these operations and how they were compromised will be revealed
in this course. Known and sometimes unknown espionage agents
operating for or against the West such as Edward Howard, Robert
Hanssen, William Weisband, Glen Souther, William Kampiles, Ron
Pelton, Rick Ames, George Blake, Adolf Tolkachev and Victor
Sheymov all played significant roles in these unseen and largely
unknown espionage wars.
“Outstanding history class—also helped me better understand the

nature of CI and how to be a better agent.”
“I have worked Intel for about 24 years, now the gaps have been
filled. Great class.”

SpyDrive®: Washington, DC
This “classroom-on-wheels” shows you a side of Washington, D.C.

you’ve never seen before: where spies have lived, worked and
operated in the “Spy Capital of the World.” This is the perfect
security awareness course that your employees are sure to
remember. This course is also available in “virtual” format.
“Great overview of historical intelligence and CI operations in

Washington. Real eye-opener on the connection of these almost
mythic events to real, everyday people and places. Makes me take
the current intelligence threat more seriously.”
LENGTH: ½ day with optional
“All the information was interesting. Made me feel that I need to be ½ day pre-brief
constantly aware of my surroundings and the people around me. This
course has made me want to learn more about CI. I will definitely be
more aware of my security practices.”

120
SpyMaryland
This seminar takes attendees through a virtual presentation of the

spies and operational sites used by foreign intelligence services
operating in Maryland. Specific areas of Maryland became known as
“Spy Country” to counterintelligence professionals because of the
propensity of intelligence officers to use specific locations for
clandestine operational acts. This seminar is an exceptional and
unique addition to your security awareness program.
“This made me more aware of the fact that operatives are active in
Maryland and not just in the metropolitan areas.”
LENGTH: 1 day
“This training has helped me to be more alert and know what sort
of things to look for and remember it is my responsibility to report
unusual incidents.”
“I learned that the best prevention against spying is to harden the

target—me. I thank you for this eye-opening reminder that we need
to keep our guard up.”
10
121
SpyVirginia
This seminar takes attendees through a virtual presentation of

the known and hidden spy and operational sites used by foreign
intelligence services operating in Virginia. Highlighted in this
dynamic presentation is the fact that some of the most damaging
spies in U.S. history lived and/or conducted espionage activity in
Northern Virginia. Also covered is the espionage activity in other
key areas such as Norfolk, Virginia. This course is a one of a kind
addition to your security awareness program.
“Excellent presentation featuring real life situations and LENGTH: 1 day

circumstances. This training illustrates and supports the
requirements to sustain daily vigilance of good security awareness.”
“This course should be mandatory training for everyone in our

business. We tend to “not see.” I will make a point of being more
vigilant.”
11
125
The SIGINT/COMINT
(Information Assurance) Spies
This seminar will take you on an eye-opening journey covering

historical and modern day espionage operations targeting SIGINT
and COMINT (Information Assurance) “crown jewels” on land, in the
sea and in space. This seminar examines how spies from within and
outside the U.S. Government have hurt national security and caused
grave damage—trusted insiders who decided to betray their
organizations, families and country. The spies identified in this
seminar held the highest clearances and accesses in the NSA, FBI,
CIA, State Department, U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy and the British
MI-6 and GCHQ. Access to U.S. communication systems, signal
intelligence platforms and their supporting infrastructures remains at LENGTH: 1 day
the top of foreign intelligence services’ and terrorist organizations’
collection requirements. This seminar has value for anyone involved
in or concerned with SIGINT and Information Assurance issues.
“I am continually amazed at how much I learn at the CI Centre. This is

a great service provided to the Intelligence Community.”
“Some folks know CI, but very few truly ‘know’ CI. The professors here
at the CI Centre truly ‘know’ CI and are true professionals and experts
at sharing their knowledge.”

Women in Espionage
From Biblical times through the American Revolutionary War, the U.S.
Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Cold War and Post-Cold War, women
have played an important role in intelligence and espionage. Women
have been spies, traitors, heroines and espionage enablers. This
course provides an introduction to who these women were, what they
did, and whom they betrayed. It discusses the contemporary impact
that women have on the field of espionage, from field operatives to
senior level Intelligence Community managers. Classic Cold War era
operations in Moscow are highlighted, and the roles of women in
these cases are discussed. The role in espionage of the modern
seductress, following in the footsteps of Mata Hari, is updated with
details on current cases. The impact of “wives” is discussed, LENGTH: 1 day
including wives who betray their husbands, wives who are accomplices
and female officers who use the role of “wife” as cover. Jonna Mendez,
former CIA officer, discusses her role in operations in the 1980s and
early 1990s, using disguise, photography and surveillance detection
tools. The “glass ceiling” dynamic will be explored, with interviews
from women involved in the cases in the 1990s. Finally, the course
will end with a discussion of the alleged “outing” of Valerie Plame
and the consequences of that event.
“Fascinating course. Good information on history of women in spying.

Reminder that women are often overlooked but make good spies. Will
help with good CI practices.”
“This course was very interesting. It was nice to hear a female

perspective on espionage and counterintelligence.”
13
150
Current Counterespionage Cases
This course is designed to provide an introduction to the more

recent espionage cases affecting our nation’s security. The
predications of the cases, the spies’ backgrounds revealing both
psychological insights into why he/she spied, as well as insights
from CI professionals involved in the cases will be discussed.
The course also covers the foreign intelligence collector’s modus
operandi and tradecraft, reviews the damage to our national
security, and integrates lessons learned. Examples used in this
course are updated as new espionage cases surface.
LENGTH: 1 day
“Very informative. More aware of what motivated some individuals
to spy and things to look for.”
“Helps to open your eyes and be a little more vigilant.”
“Great CI awareness and education!”

Cuban Intelligence: An Introduction to Cuban
Intelligence and Counterintelligence
Through the real life experiences of a retired Cuban intelligence

officer and a retired KGB officer, this one-day introductory course
focuses on one of the most effective and least known of the
Communist intelligence organizations: the Cuban Directorate of
Intelligence (DI) of the Ministry of Interior. The course covers the
formation, development/evolution and current state of the
intelligence gathering organizations that exist in Communist Cuba.
The qualifications, selection process, and training of Cuban
intelligence officers and their subsequent modus operandi,
LENGTH: 1 day
tradecraft, and targeting efforts are also reviewed. Other topics will
include intelligence training of allied intelligence and CI services,
biochemical capabilities, and cyber and radio frequency weapons.
Various case studies will demonstrate Cuba’s main intelligence
target: America.
“The expertise of instructors and real life experience of guest speakers

is what sets the CI Centre apart from other CI training.”
“The lectures are always pertinent and the instructors are extremely
knowledgeable. I will definitely be able to use the information from
this course on the job.”

Russia’s SVR/FSB/GRU Intelligence:
An Introduction to Today’s Russian
When the Soviet Union collapsed in December 1991 the

conventional wisdom of some in the U.S. intelligence community
was that the West had won the Cold War and the threat of Soviet
KGB/GRU intelligence collection would become a problem of the
past. Yet Aldrich Ames, Jim Nicholson and Robert Hanssen were all
run by Russia’s SVR after the Soviet Union was dissolved.
The KGB and GRU did not go away but ultimately realigned into
three organizations: the SVR, FSB and GRU. This course explores LENGTH: 1 day
today’s Russian intelligence and counterintelligence services, their
evolution, structure, missions, operations, and methodologies.
“Excellent course information backed by first-hand experience.”
“This was an amazing opportunity to learn from very skilled,

knowledgeable and really fascinating professionals. I’ve very glad
I took this course.”
16

Counterintelligence Realities for Analysts
This course is designed for analysts or scientists, to provide them

with a better understanding of counterintelligence and how to
protect themselves from becoming targets of foreign intelligence
services. The course covers the recruitment process, dealing with
liaison, understanding how vulnerable one is to elicitation, how to
protect against elicitation, why espionage is so important in world
events, the impact of espionage on policy, targeting of analysts and
other relevant issues.
“Excellent course. Enjoyed learning about the methods employed LENGTH: 2 days
both to target analysts and to recruit agents. Learned more about
the recruitment cycle and made me more aware of the need to pay
attention to my surroundings more.”
“This was an excellent and informative course that I would

recommend all analysts take early on in their careers.”
“Gave a very comprehensive introduction to the world of CI to

analysts; very useful and informative as well as enjoyable; would
highly recommend to new IC analysts.”
“It has helped me understand my vulnerabilities as well as increase

my awareness of how recruitment might happen. I think this course
should be given to all analysts.”
17
205
National Security Policy and
Counterintelligence Implications of
Denial and Deception Practices
This Denial and Deception (D&D) awareness course is designed

to introduce topics and examples which specifically relate to the
impact of D&D on national security policy formulation, its impact
on counterintelligence efforts, and an understanding of the cultural
and multi-national attitudes on the use of deception. The course
addresses D&D mounted against the U.S. by its allies and
adversaries as well as methods and avenues available used to
mount such operations. Agents of influence, covert funding, control
of the media, forgeries, double agentry, and manipulation of mass
LENGTH: 3 days
organizations are covered. This course provides a comprehensive
and in-depth discussion of the D&D operations conducted to
protect KGB spy in the CIA Rick Ames and KGB spy in the FBI
Bob Hanssen.
“Information presented is of extreme importance to the training

and career/operational enhancement of a professional’s career. An
extremely valuable, dynamic course which I will recommend to my
colleagues.”
“Expresses the importance of considering D&D when formulating an

analysis.”
“Superb class presentation. The instructors colorfully showed how

D&D has been used, and can be used to effectively deceive US
opponents in the Intel Wars.”

207
PRC Intelligence: An Introduction to the
People’s Republic of China Intelligence
and Counterintelligence Operations and
Methodologies
This course provides an introductory review of the evolution of PRC

intelligence and counterintelligence practices. It focuses on the
significant differences as well as the similarities between Chinese
intelligence collection and counterintelligence practices and Western
and European models. The course looks at Chinese cultural
considerations and PRC historical events, which are essential to
understanding collection practices and counterintelligence
operations employed by the Chinese.
LENGTH: 2 days
In addition to coverage of traditional espionage, the course also
discusses the Chinese economic espionage threat. Companies and
government agencies concerned with the theft of dual-use,
proprietary information and technology will find this course
particularly useful in understanding this growing threat.
“The course did an excellent job of providing an overall picture of PRC

intelligence and also distilling out key lessons and concepts from the
case studies. I found the course (as of all CI Centre courses) to be
entertaining, informative and of great benefit to my job.”
“Interesting information and helpful to better understand culture,

history and threats.”
19
208
Robert P. Hanssen Course and SpyDrive®
This course will explore the story behind one of the most complex
and damaging espionage cases in U.S. history, given by those who
knew him best—longtime FBI co-workers and supervisors. Who was
Hanssen? What were his motivations? How did he operate and what
kind of damage did he do to U.S. national security? The highlight
of this day is a tour of the actual dead drops and signal sites in
Northern Virginia used by Hanssen to clandestinely pass over 6,000
classified documents to the Soviet KGB and Russian SVR.
The damage done at each dead drop is explained, along with a
discussion on how Hanssen could operate for such a long period
of time without being detected.
LENGTH: 1 day
“I learned more in this class than 10 years of on-the-job training.

Tour a must for all CI/CT officers.”
“Learned new facts about the Hanssen case and gave me a more
understanding of the importance of counterintelligence.”
“This case can’t be taught enough. I’ve been through many Hanssen
briefs and by far this is the most comprehensive and professional
briefs I’ve seen. The tour was outstanding.”
“Very much enjoyed the background on Hanssen, who I regrettably

knew very little about. Tour was excellent--really brings the Hanssen
case to life. Great teaching tool.”
20
210
KGB/SVR101: The Evolution of Soviet/
Russian Espionage Tradecraft Training
This one-of-a-kind course is given by CI Centre professors who

were officers in the KGB. What kind of training does a Russian
intelligence officer receive? Learn the theories, subjects and
tradecraft a KGB officer studies and gain better insight into the
other side. The course has great value and application to today
in light of the fact that in addition to training its own officers,
the KGB trained many intelligence services antagonistic to the
West and supported terrorist groups around the world. Given the
continuities, this is as relevant today in understanding our
adversaries as it was during the Cold War era.
LENGTH: 2 days
“Extremely enjoyed this course. This is something my entire

organization should have. Just to be aware of how real these
operations are and how vulnerable we are by not knowing is
an eye-opening experience and can benefit anyone in the
intelligence field.”
“This information is very valuable to any line of work.”
“I think everyone in this Intelligence Community should be

required to take this course. The information was staggering
and the presentations are incredible.”
21
220
Israeli Intelligence: An Introduction to Israeli
This course provides the background necessary to understand and

interpret events currently unfolding in the Middle East and around
the world, relating to the Israeli-Arab conflict and the Global War
on Terrorism. This course is designed to provide an introduction to
the Israeli intelligence services’ and intelligence community origins,
evolution, structure, leadership, missions, operational methods, as
well as successes and failures. To understand Israeli intelligence, it
is essential to understand that its intelligence services have been
at war with deadly outside threats since before Israel’s formation in
LENGTH: 2 days
1948. The role of Israeli intelligence in the four conventional
Israeli-Arab Wars between 1947 and 1973 and the terrorism war to
the present are examined. This course provides a deep
“The amount of information
understanding of why “human intelligence is king” in the Israeli
presented in this course is staggering.
intelligence services and why the motto of the Mossad is I’ve learned more in two days than
“Everything is Possible.” I have in eight months covering this
issue. This class was incredibly useful
and educational.”
The course discusses how Israeli intelligence and counterintelligence
services operate worldwide and recruit support agents to fulfill
high-risk and dramatic intelligence operations. The course
examines the operational imperative of Israeli intelligence.
Numerous high and low profile worldwide Israeli intelligence
operations are examined to illustrate the methods of operation and
the aggressiveness of the Israelis. The course attempts to convey
“How you might see the world if you were in Israeli Intelligence or
were an Israeli citizen, and how you would respond.”
22

The Secret History of History:
The Impact of Intelligence and
Counterintelligence on World Events
Does intelligence and counterintelligence have an impact on world

events? This course is a historical journey through some of the
most dramatic events in history and shows with factual examples
that the answer is “YES”. The course begins with the Elizabethan
Era and the importance of her spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham.
The course continues with a discussion of the only U.S. President
held captive in the Tower of London, the importance of double
agents and deception in the American War of Independence and
the decisive role of intelligence in the Civil War. Also discussed
is the role of espionage against the U.S. in the nuclear age, the LENGTH: 2 days
impact on U.S. national nuclear strategy and policy and the two
times the U.S. came close to nuclear war. Implications for national
security resulting from the damage caused by a number of high
and low profile U.S. espionage cases are explored. The course
provides numerous examples of the power of intelligence and the
policy implications when intelligence gaps exist, such as in the
Middle East.
“This presentation quite literally changed my world-view overnight.

Thanks to him, I now see history, and all information in general, in
a completely different light because he made me aware that there is
always a story behind the story.”
23
270
Iranian Intelligence: An Introduction to
Iranian Intelligence and Counterintelligence
This course serves as an introduction to the Iranian Intelligence

and Counterintelligence Services and examines the origins,
structure, missions, operations and methodologies of these
services. Beginning with the modern history of Iran and the SAVAK,
which viewed many of its own nationals as enemies of the state,
students will learn how the Shah was overthrown and Khomeini
took power, transforming Iran into a Shia theocracy. These events
led to a closer relationship between Islamic terrorist groups
and the Iranian intelligence services. The course explores these
relationships and implications for the world today, as well as the LENGTH: 2 days
efforts by Iran to control its own increasingly dissatisfied citizens.
Iranian collection targets in the U.S., the Middle East and around
the world are also explored.
“Very interesting—real concerns, current issues. What we in the

Intel Community need to know to do our jobs better.”
“Thoroughly covers the key topics, very impressive course.”
24
350
Operational Games: The Espionage Wars
This course chronologically examines significant cases of Russian

intelligence officers who spied for the United States and American
intelligence officers who spied for Russia and how their cases
affected one another. The course “connects the dots” of the past
50 years of counterintelligence: the recruitment of agents, officers
who volunteered to spy, the sophisticated use of ‘operational games’
or deception operations to protect spies (including an in-depth
look at the Soviet/Russian deceptions to protect their prized spies
Rick Ames and Bob Hanssen), and finally the arrest and sometimes
execution of these spies. Both sides fought hard and had an equal
share of successes and failures. For the first time, you will be able
to see a chronological birds-eye view of the espionage battles, what LENGTH: 3 days
went right, what went wrong and why identifying what went wrong
is far more complicated than most realize.
This is an intensive, advanced course and is recommended for

students who have some familiarity with the important espionage
cases of these two countries over the past 50 years.
“Simply phenomenal!”
“Super presentation and goes into great detail on these complex

spy cases. Interesting how the other world events and the various
operations interconnected.”
“Absolutely outstanding. I wish I could grab every American CI

investigator by the neck and yank them into this course.”

An Overview of Critical
Counterintelligence Issues
Our flagship course. This course focuses on the evolution of

the legal, organizational and ethical aspects of counterintelligence
and security over the past 100 years. It is designed to increase the
number of personnel who have a broad and current
understanding of the development of the counterintelligence
discipline in the U.S. The course highlights the historical
consequences of ignoring counterintelligence and the strategic
importance of a robust national CI program. The period from 1916-
1954, including intelligence collection by the U.S., the response
to the German IIIB during WWI, the enactment in 1917 of The
LENGTH: 5 days
Espionage Act, and Japanese and Nazi espionage before and
during WWII are discussed. A comprehensive examination is made
of the nexus between communism and Soviet espionage during “This course is an excellent
the period the USSR was our “ally.” This course examines in-depth introduction to the world of
counterintelligence. I learned so

Double Agentry: Offensive
Counterintelligence Operations
Building on the foundation forged in our 501 Course, 502

primarily focuses on counterintelligence events that changed
history and the value and need to conduct offensive double
agent operations. There is a deliberate effort to facilitate the
course participant’s ability to understand and overcome
institutional cultural opposition to double agentry. The students
participate in a day-long case study of the Oleg Penkovsky
CIA/MI6 operation. They are exposed to two conflicting analyses
of Penkovsky’s bona fides in consecutive nightly readings and
the impact such assessments can have on national policy. This
culminates in a detailed case study in which the students draw LENGTH: 5 days

Counterespionage Today:
Complexities and Decisions
This course focuses on the discipline of counterespionage. It

covers selected modern cases from the more than 200 espionage
prosecutions of the past five decades, including a number of
non-Russian espionage cases. Students explore the very complicated
and often time consuming process of investigating an espionage
lead. The course describes legal principles and protection of sources
and methods during the conduct of a counterespionage
investigation. Students learn about the complexities of
investigating when not only several U.S. intelligence agencies
are involved, but when foreign CI and intelligence services must
become involved for successful resolution. Students study the LENGTH: 5 days
investigative cycle, illustrated through many different cases, not all
of which were neutralized through prosecution, driving home the
reality that arrest and prosecution is but one method of
neutralizing a threat. The course also examines the complexity of
conducting espionage overseas and who the U.S. is forced to deal
with in these types of cases. The last two days of the course focus
on the complexities of the Hanssen case and include a Hanssen
SpyDrive® to his operational sites.
“This course has given me ideas for how to pursue current CE cases
and has reinvigorated my zeal for doing counterespionage work.”

Informant Development to Fight The War on
Terrorism: Jihadist Islamic Doctrine for Law
Enforcement Officers
All law enforcement officers know that informant/source

development and handling is essential to identify, prevent and/or
solve terrorist attacks on their community. Law enforcement
officers also know it is essential to understand the “mindset” and
“belief structure” of any individual they are trying to recruit as a
source of information. This seminar is specifically structured to
provide these skills to law enforcement officers recognizing that
homeland security is local security.
LENGTH: 3 days
The development of a “terrorist” informant is different in many
ways from the development of general “criminal” informants. It is
essential that law enforcement officers are provided the tools and
tactics to target and recruit informants in this new evolving war
with Jihadist terrorism. Accordingly it is essential that the officer
have a working knowledge of this belief base threat to understand
and discuss the Jihadist justification for their actions based on the
Jihadist interpretation of Islamic Doctrine. This important course
includes an honest, detailed background discussion of what the
radicalization process teaches about Islam to potential jihadist
recruits and how Islam is used by extremists to justify the Militant
Jihadism.

Benefits of hiring the CI Centre® to provide high-quality training
1 Highly-experienced CI, CT, OPSEC and Security subject matter experts

We are former government intelligence officers who spent our careers in the CI field–working, managing, investigating, analyzing
CI cases, issues, plans, strategy and operations. Now retired from 25 to 30+ years in the USG, we are ready to impart our knowledge and
experience to the younger generation. In-house trainers usually don’t have this kind of experience-level.
2 Consistent and dedicated training

Our subject matter experts provide consistent, high-quality training over many years enabling more employees to have the same
knowledge base. We have had our careers and now we are dedicated to one thing–CI, CT and Security training. In-house trainers may
be available to give CI briefings for only one or two years before they move on to other jobs. Training becomes uneven, inconsistent
and soon non-sustaining over a long period of time. Even while they are trainers, they may be called away by more pressing job mission
duties and not be able to teach. This won’t happen with the CI Centre–it is our mission to always be available to provide training to
you at any time.
3 Saving money, people and time resources in the government

It costs a great deal of money and time for a team of in-house trainers to develop and teach a training course. This includes their
salary and man-hours and takes them away from other vital missions that can be done inside an organization. The CI Centre can provide
an agency with the best quality training without tasking the resources of the training office. We do all the work, all the preparation and
provide the training facility, and our own instructors do all the teaching. The training office benefits from providing top quality training
to their employees.
4 Development and course updating costs covered by the CI Centre, not by your organization
As a follow-on to the above, the CI Centre always develops, updates and enhances our courses on our own time and money and
we do not charge the client for this. This is another way you save money. We purposefully develop and own our courses so we can keep
them fresh, relevant, and up-to-date for you. Because we are solely focused on training, we have the time (which is rare in
organizations) to do in-depth research and reading about course topics.
5 GSA Schedule
The CI Centre is on the GSA Schedule, Contract GS-02F-0210R, ensuring the government has the best priced, most cost-effective
training available, right now. No waiting six months for courses to be developed.
6 Experience matters
With the rapidly changing workforce and large numbers of new hires, the experience level is diminishing. These new, young officers
can take advantage of the vast experience and knowledge of the counterintelligence experts of the CI Centre–and get this vital
knowledge at the very beginning of their careers.
7 Immediate training
Have an urgent CI, CT, OPSEC or Security training requirement? With the CI Centre, our courses are already there, ready to teach,
ready to go wherever you need them. There is no start-up time or getting up-to-speed on the subject. The CI Centre already has over 30
courses ready to provide to you. We can also quickly tailor the courses to meet the specific needs of an agency or company.
8 Dynamic, interesting training

The CI Centre wants to make its courses highly informative as well as entertaining so employees enjoy the experience and retain
the information. We invest in new technologies to ensure our presentations are sophisticated, modern and rich in multimedia. This is
especially true with the younger generation who demand highly interactive, graphic-intense visuals to aid in learning.
9 Highly-rated training
Your organization will receive very positive feedback from your employees about CI Centre training courses. We collect and closely
monitor student feedback. The CI Centre will always be sure our training delivery is of the highest-quality so the customer is always
satisfied. You can demand a very high standard from the CI Centre–and get it.
