Wrapped a 6-hour OSINT refresher last night through NW3C and it was solid for recon, but what happens if this scales — do agencies, insurers, or courts care, and does it become a de facto requirement? I’m checking CEU credit and my state’s PI renewal rules on my own, but I’d love real-world outcomes before I pay for another round.
Six hours with NW3C is solid, but in my experience the cert only matters when you’re bidding SIU/municipal work — RFP checklists, . > de facto requirement? I’m checking CEU credit and my state’s PI renewal rules on my — same here; in TX and CA I’ve seen RFPs ask for 8–16 hrs OSINT in the last 24 months, and courts only care if you’re testifying where it pads your CV. Before you pay again, email your board’s CEU contact and save the NW3C syllabus/completion letter to your case file; what state are you in?
