OSINT Combine Academy
OSINT Combine, now part of Kaseware
Modular self-paced courses from an Australian training house that serves government and corporate teams, including applied topics such as Chinese internet research, disinformation, and AI for OSINT. Solid, with little independent review.
OSINT Combine sells self-paced courses with a year of access, grouped as beginner, AI for OSINT, and applied. The applied set is where it stands out: website OSINT, corporate profiling, image and video analysis, location and event intelligence, disinformation, and searching the Chinese internet. The company merged with Kaseware in late 2025 and says training is unchanged.

- You train a government or corporate team and want modular purchasing
- You are in Asia-Pacific and want live sessions in your time zone
Skip it if
- You want independent reviews before paying; there are almost none
- You are an individual beginner; the free and cheaper options cover the fundamentals
