OSINT A–Z: From Data to Intelligence
Master the complete intelligence cycle from collection to dissemination. Learn the tradecraft used by professional intelligence analysts at the FBI, CIA, and private sector firms. This is the Meridin Certified OSINT Professional (MCOP) course.
What You'll Learn
The MCOP Philosophy
At Meridin Academy, we reject the simplification of OSINT as "advanced Googling." This course follows the standards of the U.S. Government and professional intelligence bodies, teaching you to produce intelligence from publicly available information that is collected, exploited, and disseminated to support critical decisions.
You will learn to distinguish between raw Information and finished Intelligence — the processed, evaluated product that reduces uncertainty for decision-makers.

This is a professional-level course. While no prior intelligence experience is required, you should have:
- •Strong research and analytical skills
- •Familiarity with internet navigation and search engines
- •Commitment to ethical intelligence practices
- •Ability to think critically and challenge assumptions
