Training | CASO In-Person (10 Days) | May 2026 | Gov. Only

Overview

CASO™ instruction by Parsons Technical Operation Group delivers focused training in open-source research, teaching participants to safely leverage publicly available information (PAI) through advanced, secure research techniques.

This ten-day course teaches teams the skills needed to navigate and use the digital landscape to gain an informational advantage. Students conduct iterative assessments of their digital footprint while safely discovering, synthesizing, and analyzing PAI data. PAI research helps to identify risks to personnel, reputation, assets, and supply chains. Available online or in person, the course features secure digital research, iterative footprint assessments, and open-source research methods. Content can be customized to client needs, ensuring relevant and actionable insights are effectively reported.

Delivery

Our In-person CASO course can be taken during a scheduled open enrollment session or can be taught by our Mobile Training Team (MTT) at your location. While open enrollment offers an excellent online live learning environment, Parsons provides a range of distinctive Programs of Instruction (POIs). We believe that in-person training, whether conducted at our facilities or at the client’s site, delivers optimal value to our customers. A contracted course tailored to your specific needs and mission requirements (Intel, IO, IBM, Targeting, Due Diligence, IDM, CI/HUMINT, Civil Reconnaissance) provides the most modularity and the customer direct input into their proposed training program they would like for us to create.
