The following are unsolicited testimonials from former Cyber Training International students.

“I recently spent a large sum of money to attend a social media program taught by a private investigator on the East Coast. Mark’s online program cost me a fraction of that course and I learned much more about social media investigations and was able to learn it far more effectively at my own pace.”

CD, USDOJ

“I took this course and the CPKN Internet course at the same time and this course was FAR more challenging and informative.”

Det/Cst KB, Municipal PD – Specialty Squad

“I found this course to be extremely informative. The video’s were extremely helpful for those of us who are visual learners. To be able to watch the video and then read the material after, actually made the light bulb go on, figuratively speaking. I feel this is a course all police officers should have.”

Det/Cst KC, Provincial Task Force

“I was at a conference in Vancouver last week in which the presenter from Dept. of Homeland Security spoke about the Silk Road and Ross Ulbricht. Having just recently taken your Level 1 course I was familiar with the topic. So thank you for that.”

Det/Cst LS, Municipal PD – Major Crimes Unit

“I liked the fact the information was current and relevant. The information found in this course is very carefully researched and well communicated. I will use these tools in the course of my investigations where applicable.”

Spl/Cst EM, BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations & Rural Development (FLNRORD)

“Course is perfect. Will recommend to my colleagues.”

Det/Cst BB, Municipal PD – Specialty Squad

“Overall, I thought it was a very good introduction to online, open-source searching. I learned a lot of things I hadn’t known before, and I thought it was a very good use of my time. The course has, I think, just the right amount of introductory content, and it’s laid out in a conversational style.”

A/Insp JJ, Municipal PD – In Charge, Specialty Squad

“I have always enjoyed searching the net for various items, people etc. I now realize how little I knew. This course has taught me a lot of valuable methods that will provide significantly better results.”

S/Sgt GD, Municipal PD

Overall this was an excellent course that actually changed the way I look at open source information. Organized well with top notch customer service. I would recommend this course to other investigators.

Cst TJ, Municipal PD

“While I consider myself reasonably adept at using the Internet and related social networking sites and Google, this course was chocked full of great tips and advise for how to become much more effective at open source searching. I will be able to conduct open source inquiries with much more confidence now.”

“The course opened my eyes to a whole new world of add-ons and search engines that I had no clue of before.”

GM, Licensed Private Investigator (Retired Municipal PD)

“Before, I never utilized Google’s search feature other than simply typing in a search term As-Is or just changing some words around.. this course allowed me to search for things in ways that I never knew how. I thought the course was very good and provided enough information without completely overwhelming the reader.”
