Welcome to the forefront of countering disinformation at scale. DISARM (Disinformation Analysis and Risk Management) is the open-source framework for identifying and reporting on disinformation behaviours. Adopted as part of the formal data exchange on Foreign Information Manipulation by the EU and the US, it is used and recommended by leading international organisations.
The DISARM Certification Course is focused on the real-world use of the DISARM framework, developed to give you the know-how to effectively navigate, analyse, and report using the DISARM framework on disinformation incidents. Designed for practitioners and driven individuals looking to enter the counter-disinformation field.
Disinformation is a global threat that requires a large-scale coordinated response. Experts, civil society, campaigners, and communicators are in need of advanced tools to cooperate at scale.
This course is built to equip disinformation analysts with the tools and know-how to accurately identify actions used by malign actors and recommend effective counter-strategies.
From the intricacies of information influence online to the realms of political campaigns and FIMI, we utilise a real-world approach to training individuals to fully utilise the DISARM framework and break down disinformation campaigns.
You will become proficient in utilizing a framework that will allow you to share your data easily with other online influence experts around the world.

- Countermeasures: Explore tools, methods, and design patterns to detect, counter, and mitigate against online influence.

For any questions, you can email our team at info@alliance4europe.eu.
Update on Refresher Courses (2025): The DISARM training team at Alliance4Europe works in close collaboration with the DISARM development team at the DISARM Foundation. This means that the trainings will always have the latest information on the framework and its uses. At this time, the training team has identified that there have not yet been substantive changes to require a refresher course.
This means all certificates issued since February 2024 remain valid until further notice (extending the initial 1-year validity of the certificate). For Certified Analysts who would like to receive a certificate with an updated validity date on the certificate, please feel welcome to reach out to info@alliance4europe.eu.
