A long-established Canadian provider with two-day live remote courses and lengthy self-paced e-learning on internet research, intelligence analysis, and report writing. Thorough and formal; some e-learning content shows its age.

Toddington is a federally certified Canadian training institution and a licensed investigation firm. It runs two-day live courses over Zoom on OSINT, social media investigation, and AI for OSINT, plus self-paced e-learning that runs to fifty hours or more per course and includes intelligence analysis and report writing modules that most OSINT providers do not offer.

Worth it if

  • You want intelligence analysis, critical thinking, and report writing taught as courses, not footnotes
  • You are in a public-sector or regulated role that prefers a certified institution
  • You want a two-day live refresher that covers AI, deepfakes, and verification together

Skip it if

  • You want the latest platform-specific technique; some e-learning modules reference older web eras
  • You need published certificates or a currency label on prices before you buy
  • You are self-funding a first course; cheaper and free routes cover the basics

    Two-day courses on social platforms and on applying AI across the OSINT lifecycle.

  3. 03

    Introduction to Intelligence Analysis, Critical Thinking for Investigators, Report Writing for Analysts and Investigators, Criminal and Strategic Intelligence Analysis.

  5. 05

    E-learning: AI for OSINT

    Eight modules on how AI works and fails, prompting for analysts, synthetic media, risk, tools, and governance.

What you will be able to do

  • Structure an intelligence product from collection through analysis to a written report
  • Verify images and detect synthetic media with a documented process
  • Apply critical-thinking checks to your own findings
  • Use AI tools in research while knowing their failure modes

How current it is

Live courses are scheduled into early 2027 and the AI material is new. Some self-paced content references older web terminology and tools, which suggests parts have not been refreshed recently; the analysis and writing modules age well regardless.

How to get the most from it

  1. 01

    Take the analysis courses, not just the OSINT one

    They are the rare part of the catalogue. Collection you can learn anywhere.

  2. 02

    Check the live syllabus against your gaps

    The two-day course is broad. If three of its ten topics are new to you, it is worth it.

  3. 03

    Plan the e-learning hours

    Fifty to seventy hours with a one-year window is a real commitment. Block it in a calendar.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do courses include a certificate?

The course pages we checked do not mention one. Ask before you buy if you need it for a training record.

Which e-learning course first?

Using the Internet as an Investigative Research Tool is the foundation. Introduction to Intelligence Analysis and Criminal Intelligence Analysis overlap, so take one, not both.
