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 cases, issues, plans, strategy and operations. Now retired from 25 to 30+ years in the USG, we are ready to impart our knowledge and experience to the younger generation. In-house trainers often have about 10-12 years experience in the government.

2) Consistent and dedicated training. Our CI 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–CI training. In-house trainers may be available to give CI 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 training course. This includes their salary and man-hours and takes them away from other vital missions that can be done inside the government. The CI Centre can provide an agency with the best quality CI training without tasking the resources of the government training office. We do all the work, all the preparation and provide the training facility, and our own instructors do all the teaching. The USG 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 the USG saves money. 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 the USG) 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 USG 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 USG, especially with counterintelligence, is diminishing. These new, young officers can take advantage of the vast experience and knowledge of the counterintelligence experts of the CI Centre–and get this vital knowledge at the very beginning of their careers.

7) Immediate CI training. Have an urgent CI training requirement? With the CI Centre, our courses are already there, ready to teach, ready to go wherever the USG needs them. There is no start-up time or getting up-to-speed on the subject. The CI Centre already has over 30 CI, CT and Security courses ready to provide to the USG. 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 USG 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. The US Government 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.
