GraphRAG and OSINT Training: Enrollment Is Now Open!
Hello everyone! In the previous two articles, I mentioned that training would be opening for enrollment soon. Well, soon has become now! Enrollment is now open, and first students have already enrolled! I am so happy about that and excited to offer these courses.
Here are the previous articles, if you would like to catch up:
The two courses currently available are:
GraphRAG from Scratch
OSINT for Everyone
Classes are already filling up. The discount only applies to the first few classes, so if you would like to get the discount, enroll today! I am setting it to an easy 50% off, and I will not leave it there for long, as this is solid training from an experienced practitioner. Sign up today!
What classes are offered?
Let me explain what I am currently offering. I intend to add more courses soon, but here is what I have made available on my website.
GraphRAG from Scratch (3-day course)
OSINT for Everyone (3-day course)
OSINT for Everyone (1-day introductory course)
I have made a separate one-day course for OSINT for Everyone, to provide a simpler version of the course for people who are curious but not yet ready to dive into a three-day course.
I will not make a separate one-day course for GraphRAG as there is too much to cover in one day.
What is learned: GraphRAG from Scratch
In GraphRAG from Scratch, I walk you through all of the steps included in creating GraphRAG from Scratch. We start at the start, at the data. We’ll cover things such as:
Knowledge Graph
Choosing an Outcome Target or Problem Definition
Investigating and making decisions about the raw data
Deciding on a Knowledge Graph (KG) ontology or schema
Doing data enrichment for KG creation
Creating the KG
Testing that the KG is ready for use
GraphRAG
Choosing an Outcome Target or Problem Definition
Learning to use the data: Cypher Query Language
Learning about the most important piece in GraphRAG (Enroll to learn) :)
Following the workflow to create a GraphRAG interface
Testing and Validation to make sure the GraphRAG works well
Final steps in GraphRAG creation (Reports, Documentation, etc.)
In this training, you learn the two halves to GraphRAG work:
Knowledge Graph Creation
GraphRAG Creation
You cannot create a GraphRAG interface without a Graph of some sort. Typically a Knowledge Graph and Graph Database are used. I will keep things simple so that you can hit the ground running after learning from this course.
Enroll today! I would love to meet you! I look forward to doing this!
You need to get in this room. What are you waiting for? Let’s go have some fun!
Enroll today! You will learn to create GraphRAG from Scratch.
What is learned: OSINT for Everyone
My other course is called OSINT for Everyone. I have been teaching OSINT with this blog from the beginning. The Wikipedia crawler is OSINT. The web crawlers are OSINT. The Bluesky crawler is OSINT. I have been trying to give you OSINT skills for years, and several of you have done cool things with what I have taught.
My book is an OSINT guide, I just don’t call it that in or on the book. I wanted to emphasize exploration. OSINT is exploration. You should read my book. It has been out for more than three years and it is STILL rated five stars out of five.
See, five stars. Anyway, I have been teaching how to do big things with graph data for a long time, including OSINT. Now, I am offering an actual OSINT course.
What will we learn?:
What is OSINT and how is it useful to everyday people?
Choosing an Outcome Target or Problem Definition
Data types and analysis methods for each
Learning the most important piece for discovery (Enroll to learn) :)
Analysis of parts to create OSINT reports
How to change your behavior based on your findings
It looks like less material than GraphRAG from Scratch, but it is not. The Data Types discussion is expansive, and so are the techniques. The GraphRAG course is simpler: do this, do that, do this, do that, now you have GraphRAG. OSINT is closer to Data Science and is more analytical. If you have a curious mind, you will probably love learning about OSINT, and it might be transformative in your life like it has been in mine.
I really, really hope you will enroll in this class. GraphRAG from Scratch is a very important topic for 2026, but it might be less important of a topic in 2036. OSINT, on the other hand, will never be obsolete. These are both very important courses.
I consider OSINT to be modern day survival skills, and anybody can learn this. Don’t limit yourself, thinking this is only for technical people. It is not. Anyone can learn this. Enroll today!
Why should I learn this stuff?
Both of the topics that I am teaching are transformative. If you learn them, they will make you better at what you do.
I have called OSINT as Advanced Research Skills. It leads to actionable insights that lead to better decision-making. If you make better decisions, what happens? If you avoid danger, what happens? If you get to opportunities before your competitors, what happens? If you stop a production data outage in a few minutes instead of three days or more, what happens? Let me answer these:
Better decision-making: You enjoy the consequences of making better decisions. You make more money. You worry less. You succeed more. You fail less. You and your family enjoy your successes.
Avoiding danger: Danger does not have the opportunity to impact you. You stay out of danger. You keep your loved ones out of danger.
Capturing opportunities before others: You become more profitable or successful. People see you as effective, as someone they can rely on to get the job done. If you capture opportunities before others, you get to do what you want with the opportunities you have captured. What do you want to do with them?
Stop a production outage in minutes: Literally, problems stop being problems immediately. Imagine if headache medicine worked that fast. If you become able at stopping production outages in minutes or hours instead of days, your team will rely on you and your manager will likely reward you.
And these are just off the top of my head, getting started. These courses are priced low and they will be beneficial to you, if you learn the material. Enroll today.
When will these begin?
First students have enrolled, and we have reached out to them about scheduling. Here is what I have in mind at the moment.
6/11 ~ 6/22: I am getting the courses ready, finalizing presentations, preparing code and databases. You should use this time to enroll, as first classes are discounted 50%. I am not going to keep that discount for very long.
6/23 ~ 6/25: I expect to teach the first course. We are still working on the dates and times, but this is the tentative date for the first course. People have signed up for both courses, so this will probably be GraphRAG from Scratch (most popular).
6/30 ~ 7/2: I expect to teach the second course. We are still working on the dates and times, but this is the tentative date for the second course. This will probably be the first full OSINT for Everyone.
I will alternate the three-day classes so that they are offered weekly.
I will schedule the one-day OSINT for Everyone classes as they are needed. It is easier to schedule a one-day class than a three-day class, so I will work with people who sign up to find what is most convenient for students.
I will be ready to go on June 23, 2026! Let’s go! Enroll today.
I am beyond excited about this
I am really very excited about this. I have written about wanting to provide training for a long time. At Intel and McAfee, I used to give my coworkers training on dataflow mapping and Natural Language Processing. I have so much to offer that I have learned over the course of a lifetime of Software Engineering, Data Science, Cybersecurity, and AI Engineering. We are doing this, and it’s going to be a lot of fun. I look forward to spending time with you in these courses!
See you soon!
That’s all for today! I hope more of you will enroll.
I also have another OSINT article lined up for Paying Subscribers, so I will be writing that very soon. If you would like to read my OSINT articles, please upgrade your subscription today.
As I say on my other blog, “Please hit that subscribe button with the force of a neutron star metal hammer traveling at light speed and then choose whatever plan works for you.”
See you next article! Thank you for reading! I wanted to provide you with more information about my courses that are now available. Enjoy. Have a great day!
