You have been given access to CIQ Academy. This program exists for one reason: to turn you from an operator into an analyst.
ChokepointIQ monitors 44 maritime chokepoints across the globe. Your job is to watch the signals, understand what they mean, and escalate correctly. This curriculum gives you the knowledge to do that at a professional level — the same knowledge held by analysts at maritime intelligence firms charging $300,000 per year to their clients.
The Panama Canal. The Strait of Malacca. The Strait of Hormuz. The Bab el-Mandeb. The Bosphorus. These five chokepoints carry 40% of global seaborne trade. When they are disrupted, markets move. Commodities spike. Supply chains break. You will learn to read the signals before the news reports them.
Five phases. 14 courses. Every course connects directly to what you watch on your shift. No filler. No general education. Every hour spent here makes you a better analyst.
You take each course on the issuer’s real platform. When you pass, you receive a real certificate in your name. You paste that certificate URL here, and the system verifies it with the issuer.
Most CIQ courses are Coursera audit-only and do not produce a free certificate. For those, you upload a screenshot of your completed coursework, and the program coordinator reviews it manually.
A certified maritime intelligence analyst. After completing this program you can work for shipping companies, maritime insurance firms, intelligence consultancies, and trading desks. The knowledge you earn here is yours permanently.
A Filipino professional with this certification stack earns $1,500 to $2,500 per month from international employers in the maritime and intelligence sectors — compared to $600 to $900 without them.
