Artorias Academy

Open-source intelligence, done properly.

A free course in publicly available information (PAI) and open-source intelligence (OSINT): how to ask the right question, find and verify what is out there, stay lawful and ethical, and report it so people can act on it.

How it works

Six modules, one exam, one certificate.

Work at your own pace. Each module ends with a short quiz; the final exam brings it together.

01

Learn

6 modules, from foundations of PAI and OSINT to geolocation and chronolocation. More are coming soon.

02

Check

Pass each module quiz at 80 percent. Missed it? Review and try again after an hour.

03

Prove

A 30 question final exam, 80 percent to pass, then your certificate.

04

Show it

On SITREP, your certificate plus Plus puts the gray check beside your handle.

The gray check

Recognised where the work happens.

SITREP shows three marks. Blue is for verified practitioners and gold is for government officials; both are granted by SITREP staff. Gray is earned here: complete the course and hold a Plus subscription.

Lawful, ethical, and safe for the people in the picture.

Everything here uses information as it is published. We do not teach breaking in, deceiving people or tracking private individuals, and we never share live positions in a conflict. Every example in the course is fictional.
