If you'd rather handle it offline or have questions about larger groups, just email us at training@cp-journal.com and we’ll help you get set up.
My organization wants access to the Watch Office and Academy, but doesn't have the budget. What options do we have?
✅ We absolutely understand the financial pressures that some organizations face when preparing for an uncertain future. Ensuring that everyone who needs the critical information to stay left of bang has access to it—regardless of financial barriers—is a core part of why we exist.
We have built a referral program with this in mind, which allows professionals and organizations to access the material free of charge. Learn more about our referral program here.
Any tips for getting my subscription reimbursed by my organization?
✅ Absolutely. Many of our subscribers get reimbursed through professional development, training, or continuing education budgets. Here’s a message you can copy and personalize when making the request:
Subject: Reimbursement Request for a Subscription to The CP Journal
Hi [Manager’s Name],
I'd love to expense a subscription to The CP Journal. It provides weekly intelligence reports and training resources focused on threat awareness, decision-making, and organizational preparedness — all directly relevant to my role.
As a paid subscriber, I’d get access to the weekly Watch Office reports, training programs, and planning tools to improve how we anticipate, prevent, and respond to emerging risks.
The subscription is $200 per year (or discounted for groups), and I believe even one insight or idea could significantly improve our readiness and response. It’s a small investment with a high potential return.
Let me know if that’s something we can expense.
Thanks,
[Your Name]
What is the easiest way for my organization to purchase my subscription?
✅ The easiest way for an organization to purchase access for an individual is to use the “Gift” option available on the subscription page.
This allows a purchasing department or supervisor to use their purchasing card and still grant access through the individual’s email address.
Do I get a certificate for completing the Tactical Analysis course?
✅ Yes! Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll have the opportunity to request a course certificate.
Before submitting the request form, please make sure:
All course modules and quizzes have been completed.
You’ve spent adequate time engaging with the course content.
Your quiz performance meets the required standard.
We verify this information before issuing certificates.
