TRAINING ACTIVITIES

The only subject, which is not taught at any training center, private or official, is intelligence. For this reason, the applicants who have become successful in the entrance examination of the National Intelligence Organization are provided with a basic training lasting for 23-24 weeks at the MIT Training Center in the course of their probational period.

The Basic Training is provided in theoretical and practical fields so as to equip the candidates with the qualities and skills, which are necessary for becoming a good intelligence officer. The training is given by the instructors who are highly skilled and who have profound knowledge in their fields and who have worked for long years in different subjects and at different positions. The candidates who at the first stage gain the notion of being an intelligence officer after learning the principles and methods which are exclusive to the MIT are later introduced to various subjects involving their future areas of work, and taught how to collect and assess information, to use a weapon, to observe a target, to develop individual measures and methods of self-defense against various terrorist acts, and to use the behavioral methods against the surveillance and control attempts directed to themselves.

Part of the training consists of applied courses on the use of computers and other technical devices in intelligence work, and contemporary technological means are made use of at the maximum level during the courses. The personnel of the Organization are subject to occasional expertise training depending on their branches.
