Intelligence Analysis Qualifications

Having access to high quality operational intelligence enables organisations to make tactical and strategic management decisions so they can adapt quickly to a changing environment or scenario.

Intelligencia understands the critical importance of effective intelligence analysis for a wide range of organisations and recognises that there is a growing and significant need for training in current analysis tools and techniques.

The qualifications are based on the National Occupational Standards for intelligence analysis and were developed in partnership with the Skills for Justice Sector Skills Council for intelligence analysis in the military. The qualifications are now available to anyone working within a data analysis role.

For many organisations the benchmarking of existing knowledge and competency against national standards will be important. For individuals it is the opportunity to achieve nationally accredited qualifications that offer parity with analysts working at the highest levels of military intelligence operations.
