The CI Centre is an education company that
provides high-quality training courses for organizations on
Counterintelligence Strategy and Tactics; Security/OPSEC Awareness;
Understanding Terrorism; Economic Espionage Protection; and
International Travel and Safety.
1. How can I take one of your courses? What
are the course dates? Can you send me your course schedule?
CI Centre
courses are only held when an organization sponsors a private
course running for their own employees. We do not have courses
open to individuals and you cannot attend another client's private
course running so we do not make course dates/schedules available
(but we do have a
course catalog).
-
So how can you attend one of our courses?
Let us know the name and phone number of
your manager, training officer or other decision maker point of contact and we'll contact them with
information on how your organization can sponsor the course you're
interested in so you can attend. We'll do all the work for you so
you can attend our courses with the added plus of your coworkers
benefitting from our training. A secure organization well-trained in
counterintelligence, security and counterterrorism topics:
priceless!
-
What are the most important courses to take? Although every
one of our CI, CT and Security training courses are useful and
important, to really understand counterintelligence, take
501
An Overview
of Critical Counterintelligence Issues and to really
understand counterterrorism, take 361
The War on
Terrorism: Roots of the Conflict and Counterintelligence
Response. These courses will give you a solid foundation,
way above the knowledge of everyone else, on CI and CT.
2. What is the cost of the courses?
We are competitively priced and a great value at only $348 per
person per day for corporate; $310 per person per day for
government; $299 per person per day for already government
negotiated lowest price via the GSA Schedule rate. These are based
on a course minimum of 25 people. IMPORTANT
NOTE: These prices will change on 1 October 2008. Lock
in the above course prices NOW by purchasing courses BEFORE 1
October (courses can be held at any date).************
-
Our courses will be contracted
with your organization at firm-fixed prices (NO time &
material)
meaning no cost overruns for you. We continually update and
enhance our
courses on our own time and money, not yours, because we own and
deliver our courses and want to make them the most relevant and
timely for you. Our pricing model where you don't have to pay for
cost overruns and development means our prices are lower than the
national average--more savings to you!
-
Our course prices are based on a
course running with a minimum of 25 people. Your organization
can have less people in the course, but the cost is still the
cost of a course of 25 people.
-
There is a special, slightly
higher rate if you have a minimum of 12 people--please contact
us for further details. Consider joining forces with other
offices or organizations to buy a course together (great
networking and bonding opportunity).
-
For those buying a series of courses for multi-year contracts,
we offer volume discounts.
-
D*I*C*E 100 and
561 have special prices and are not on the
GSA Schedule;
please call.
-
Corporate and non-GSA government rates outside the continental
United States vary by location and course. Please contact us.
3. Where are your courses held? Where are
you located?
The CI Centre is located in Alexandria, VA (just outside Washington,
DC). Our courses are held in our fully-equipped
training facility there or at your location anywhere in the US
or the world. Additional travel expenses apply for courses held
outside the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
4. Can one of your CI Centre professors
come and speak to my group? What is the cost?
Yes!
Our
instructors are available to come and speak to your group of any
size as part of our
Intelligence Speakers Bureau. The 2007 cost of a speaking
engagement (up to 2 hours max) per professo r
for a speech
in the local Washington, DC-Baltimore metropolitan area is $5700;
all other locations or speakers not located in the Washington, DC
area: please call for price. [Normal fees at
speaker bureau companies range from $5,000 to over $25,000]
5. What is the cost of a D*I*C*E briefing
by Ray Semko?
A 2+ hour dynamic, multimedia
D*I*C*E briefing
for any size audience is currently $4,000 to $4,500 depending on the location
(in the continental US (CONUS); call for prices outside CONUS).
If you have an audience of 100 people, that's only
$40-$45 per person. The price includes travel expenses within the
US. [Normal fees at speaker bureau companies range from $5,000 to
over $25,000, so D*I*C*E is an incredible bargain!]
6. Will Ray Semko make a new D*I*C*E
video?
No. The videos Ray made in the government were heavily edited down
(from the original 2+ hours down to 45 minutes) and do not reflect
his real briefing. Much of his important messages were cut and lost.
Videos cannot capture the charged, exciting atmosphere of having Ray
give his briefing live in person. He also tailors each briefing for
his specific audience, something videos cannot do. The low price of
a dynamic D*I*C*E briefing is so cost-effective for energizing your
organization, that you don't want to give security a bad
reputation by forcing people to watch a long video. It's the
difference between being at a concert of your favorite rock star or
watching him/her on TV. You'll always remember the live concert.
7. What are your class size minimums?
Class sizes (not D*I*C*E) are minimum 25 attendees (see above for
cost per person per day). Our
classrooms in Alexandria, VA hold 25 to 30 people max. If we
give the course at your location, the size depends upon the room,
and it is still a per person per day cost. We have special rates for
class sizes with a minimum of 12 attendees, and auditorium rates for
up to 500 people; please contact us.
9. Are your courses available online?
No. Our courses are multimedia-rich, given by highly-experienced
intelligence officers and we constantly update the presentations so
they are not conducive to the online format.
If you are interested in taking an online course, see the online
accredited Henley-Putnam
University which is focused on intelligence, counterterrorism
and protection and offers bachelor and master degrees.
10. How can I get a hard copy of the CI
Centre Catalog?
Please call Kristina Scholze directly at 703-642-7453 to request a
free copy of our printed catalog. It's a 52-page, full-color booklet
with all our course descriptions and other
information. You can also download the
catalog [.pdf].
11. What is the classification of your
courses?
All CI Centre
courses are developed and taught at the unclassified level to
enable you to become an advocate of counterintelligence and be able
to talk to others about how important it is. Research for this
course was done through open sources such as books, articles,
videos, internet, etc synthesized with the insight and vast
experience of our knowledgeable professors who are experts in the
intelligence field. We are able to go to the classified level for
cleared audiences if you have a specific need or requirement.
12. Who can attend your courses?
Our
courses are mostly for federal, state, local government and military
employees, government contractors, business personnel, executives,
and other organizations. D*I*C*E briefings are for everyone.
13. Can non-US citizens attend your
courses?
If your sponsoring organization is a US-owned company, you may
attend as an employee of that company.
14. Can non-US organizations buy your
courses?
On case-by-case basis. Please have your organization contact us.
