Launch your career as an industry-qualified intelligence analyst.

I found the course far more practical than expected, with concepts applied to real scenarios and insights into how a Five Eyes analyst works. The feedback improved my clarity, confidence, and assessments, and the balance between guidance and independence was spot on.

I’m getting far more practical training here than from my PDI courses. While PDI gave me a good base in intel and geopolitics, this course pushes my skills further with hands-on work. Nothing there came close to the depth and challenge of the Iron Guardian exercise.

I wanted to give you a massive thank you for creating this course. It's so well done and very professional!
As someone who is aspiring to the intelligence trade, I feel like things are really starting to make sense to me now. Once again, thank you so much for all your hard work in creating this course.

The Intelligence Analyst Certification Course was essential for understanding and applying the tools and procedures of the intelligence cycle. The real scenario exercises and detailed feedback, especially in the final exercise, made it highly valuable. I fully recommend it for anyone aiming to work in intelligence.

I honestly enjoyed the whole course and each new challenge. It was great confirmation of what I already knew and yet helped me refine my skills and learn a whole new set of skills, approaches and methods of working. It was really informative and actually fun.

Highly suggest looking into the IACC from Alcon Intelligence. I’ve had the pleasure to work with and more importantly learn from Cole and the learned experience that he has from his work in the IC. I look forward to all i can learn from the course and am excited for the future of Alcon Intelligence.

I can’t recommend Alcon Intelligence’s IACC enough. The hands-on training and tools gave me practical insights into how intelligence professionals work - unlike any other course I’ve taken. I only wish it had been available earlier in my intel journey.

The lessons are in a logical sequence and grow and develop as the learner progresses. The experience is good, and the videos load on my slow bandwidth government computer which is nice!

ALCON are true intelligence professionals and their training is top class. Cole and the team deliver the highest quality training programs and reports on the market and their graduates are trained and equipped to hit the ground running. Highly recommended.

I’ve completed several university and private intelligence courses, and this stands above them all. The engaging, challenging material and realistic scenarios gave me a deeper understanding of the complexity of working in this field.

I enrolled in the IACC to build solid fundamentals and become more effective in my roles. The high-calibre material, strong sense of community, and genuine instructor interaction made it a standout learning experience. Completing it has been challenging, rewarding, and something I’m proud of.

Without a doubt, this has been one of the best trainings I’ve taken. The practical focus, realistic exercises, and personalised instruction made it immediately applicable to real-world scenarios. The strong learning community, ongoing engagement after the course, and flexible enrolment options made the experience even more valuable.

Everything was really well laid out and explained. The instructions for completing exercises were clear and easy to follow. I found this course really enjoyable and didn't feel like I was studying in the normal sense of studying. It was really well laid out, easy to use and the community of other course participants is a really great aspect of the course.

The course was well-structured, with modules that built knowledge over time and linked from start to finish. Real-world examples, clear presentations, and detailed feedback made the learning engaging and easy to follow, while preparing us for the final exercises.

This module exceeded my expectations, giving me a strong foundation in intelligence collection disciplines and practical tools for PIRs, SIRs, IRs, and tasking orders. The realistic exercises mirrored real planning workflows, and the clear, logical instruction kept me engaged throughout.

It was more expansive than I expected, with the collection plan as a strong simulation exercise. The briefings were a fun, hands-on addition, and the depth and practicality made it easy to see how I could apply the fundamentals in my own context.

The exercises were engaging and pushed me to think critically, giving me valuable hands-on skills that required thinking outside the box. The immersive approach made the learning memorable, and I especially enjoyed the reading material and how it tied into the exercises.

I’m really enjoying the learning so far. The exercise material added depth, and knowing it’s from a credible source gave confidence in the quality. The layout is easy to follow, the content is engaging, and every skill feels directly relevant to the workplace.
