Feedback - Intelligence Analysis Course Nov 2011 - 09/12/2011
Feedback from 4 different students... 1 - I enjoyed every part of the course equally and found all the syndicate group exercises extremley enjoyable- even the two very late nights pre-presentations (analyst from Communications Company)....2 - Speaking as a manager; conversations and the presentation with Andy were helpful in particular. While I’m not seeking to set up a police Intell Dept, it was in some respects reassuring to hear that the challenges I am facing, are reflected by all those who choose this occupation (Manager NHS).... 3 - Loved the length (two weeks instead of a few days) – allows to put the theory into practice before the end of the course i.e. learn by doing. Loved the “pencil & paper” approach to exercises: use your brain, not the software. Loved the choice to use real, sanitized cases for exercises (analyst Interpol Lyon). 4...I gained a great deal from the course and consider that it will be useful at work. I also feel a lot more confident in using the various products that we discussed (e.g. I have already done a commodity flow chart) - Analyst Charity Commission.

"Jim and RISC services have always supplied superlative training, service and guidance on intelligence analysis. Jim and his colleagues have trained over a hundred colleagues since we first met. The innovative style, challenge and support cannot be more highly recommended. RISC became Cheshire Police's preferred training provider - on-site and accommodated - for intelligence analysis over several years, chiefly due to the quality of delivery and standard of results. Cheshire has some of the most capable intelligence analysts thanks to RISC's support and training."

New job for a recent student - 24/10/2011
Jim just to keep you updated. I have secured a 3-6 month contract with XXX Police as an Intelligence Analyst... I am very pleased considering the amount of staff being lost at the moment due to the hugh cuts. I have to say that if it was not for the courses I attended at RISC quite simply I would not have been in the running... Rest assured I will sing the praises of the courses and thanks again it was without doubt down to the training recieved.
