1) Highly-experienced counterintelligence subject matter experts. We are former government intelligence officers who spent our careers in the CI field–working, managing, investigating, analyzing CI and CT cases, issues, plans, strategy and operations. Now retired from 25 to 30+ years in the government, we are ready to impart our knowledge and experience to the younger generation. In-house trainers often have about 7-12 years experience. Plus we have a number of experts on the Middle East and radical terrorism that provide you with important first-hand experience and knowledge.

2) Consistent and dedicated training. Our subject matter experts provide consistent, high-quality training over many years enabling more employees to have the same knowledge base. We have had our careers and now we are dedicated to one thing–training. In-house trainers may be available to give briefings for only one or two years before they move on to other jobs. Training becomes uneven, inconsistent and soon non-sustaining over a long period of time. Even while they are trainers, they may be called away by more pressing job mission duties and not be able to teach. This won’t happen with the CI Centre–it is our mission to always be available to provide training to you at any time.

3) Saving money, people and time resources in the government. It costs a great deal of money and time for a team of in-house trainers to develop and teach a CI, CT or Security training course. This includes their salary and man-hours and takes them away from other vital organization-specific missions. The CI Centre can provide an organization with the best quality training without tasking the resources of the training office. We do all the work, all the preparation and provide the training facility, and our own instructors do all the teaching. The training office benefits from providing top quality training to their employees.

4) Development and course updating/enhancement costs covered by the CI Centre, not the USG. As a follow-on to the above, the CI Centre always develops, updates and enhances our CI courses on our own time and money and we do not charge the government for this. This is another way your organization saves money. Our course contracts are firm-fixed price (not time & material which result in cost overruns). We purposefully develop and own our courses so we can keep them fresh, relevant, and up-to-date for you. Because we are solely focused on training, we have the time (which is rare in most organizations) to do in-depth research and reading about CI topics.

5) GSA Schedule. The CI Centre is on the GSA Schedule, Contract GS-02F-0210R, ensuring the US Government has the best priced, most cost-effective training available, right now. No waiting six months for courses to be developed.

6) Experience matters. With the rapidly changing workforce and large numbers of new hires, the experience level in the US Government and Government contractors, especially with counterintelligence, is diminishing. These new, young officers can take advantage of the vast experience and knowledge of the experts of the CI Centre–and get this vital knowledge at the very beginning of their careers. Does your organization hire companies to insert contractors to the government or are you a company that does this? Make sure these inserts have benefit of high-quality CI Centre training so they can do their best job for the government.

7) Immediate CI training. Have an urgent training requirement? With the CI Centre, our courses are already there, ready to teach, ready to go wherever your organization needs them. There is no start-up time or getting up-to-speed on the subject. The CI Centre already has over 40 CI, CT and Security courses ready to provide. We can also quickly tailor the courses to meet the specific needs of an agency.

8) Dynamic, interesting training. The CI Centre wants to make its courses highly informative as well as entertaining so employees enjoy the experience and retain the information. We invest in new technologies to ensure our presentations are sophisticated, modern and rich in multimedia. This is especially true with the younger generation who demand highly interactive, graphic-intense visuals to aid in learning.

9) Highly-rated training. Your organization will receive very positive feedback from their employees about CI Centre training courses. We collect and closely monitor student feedback. The CI Centre will always be sure our training delivery is of the highest-quality so the customer is always satisfied. You can demand a very high standard from the CI Centre–and get it.
