We focus our training on the core elements of intelligence analysis—writing, briefing, and critical thinking. These tools are useful for intelligence teams and non-intelligence business units that would benefit from improved analysis and communication.
Our training is modeled on the world-class training that the
Central intelligence Agency (CIA) provides to its analysts at the Sherman
Kent School for Intelligence Analysis.
It is taught by the Principal at Schlimmer Intelligence Consulting, a former Senior Intelligence Analyst at CIA. Our Principal trained at CIA's Sherman Kent School for Intelligence Analysis—where he completed the Advanced Analyst Program—and received senior analyst training from a European intelligence service.

Our training is modular, which means each day stands on its
own. If an employee misses one day, he or she still benefit from the other
training days. Our training is also experiential. Adults generally learn better
by experience than by lecture, a fact that we take advantage of.
Practicum
Our full-week courses culminate with a practicum during the
final day to give employees the chance to immediately practice and apply what
they learned the previous days. This will crystalize the learning in their
minds for better recall when on the job.
