humint training - The best You Can get

The collection of accurate timely intelligence is key to protecting national security and in combatting terrorism. Knowledge of the activities of foreign intelligence actors and their whereabouts can assist in defeating their political objectives. Infiltration of terrorist groups helps identify and mitigate terrorist threats and putting in place effective measures can combat the treat of industrial espionage. A key element in the success in intelligence collection is HUMINT and an agency’s lies ability to recruit and manage human intelligence sources.

While there are many different aspects to HUMINT, the term is often used interchangeably with the management of confidential informants. Fortunately, as it is a people business the psychology involved is the same.

At HSM Training we deploy trainers who are experts in human sources and counter terrorism. Training is delivered on a worldwide basis, and is the most advanced training of its kind available. It will be designed to meet the needs of the client and the environment in which they are operating. Training programs vary in duration and can be delivered on a modular basis. Each training course is designed in liaison with the client, so that it meets their specific needs. The cost of the training is dependent on the nature and duration of the course and the clients ability to pay. (We recognize that while emerging nations face similar threats they do not always have the same resources to draw on.)
