Prerequisites

It is highly recommended that students have several years experience in information technology and trouble- shooting Windows based systems. Experience as a System Administrator, Network Administrator, PC Repair Technician, etc., is desirable. At the very least, students should possess the A+ certification or have equivalent experience.

  • An optional evening session is included on all five course days at no additional cost to discuss, review and get more in depth information on that day's program and/or other topics.
  • Digital Forensics Examiner Certification exam on the last day included at no additional cost.
  • 5 College credits awarded from a fully accredited college in the United States upon passing the Digital Forensics Examiner exam. CSI is the only digital forensics training organization allowed to offer these credits. This valuable addition to the course is being offered at no additional cost to students.
  • You will be conversant in computer forensics terminology and will gain an understanding of what the digital forensics analysis process entails.

Forensic Tools Focus:

The Digital Forensics Examiner course teaches students how to use forensic tools and how to authenticate the results from the tools. The focus of the Digital Forensics Examiner is not simply exposure to a variety of forensic analysis tools, simply for the sake of it. There are several primary tools used in the digital forensic industry, all of which provide essentially the same information and work the same way. CSI focuses on teaching students how to use a limited set of those tools with an emphasis on one and how to authenticate that the results are accurate for presentation in a legal process or administrative action. With this knowledge, the student can use any forensic tool available to them.

Interaction With Students

Due to the small class size (Digital Forensics Examiner classes will never exceed 30 students) the instructor and instructor's assistant are able to address specific questions that the students have about what they are learning - time is allowed for this. As well, students are encouraged to ask questions about matters specific to their work environment, and how to handle specific type of situations that the students have questions or concerns about. CSI staff also make themselves available to students in the evening after class has completed for the day.

Follow Up Help / Materials:

All students receive example forensic analysis reports, affidavits and declarations from real cases... As well, CSI's attitude towards the students is: once a CSI student, always a student - students can contact CSI at any time for additional help or questions concerning actual cases they are working on. All students receive a set of videos that take them through the same processes used in class. These videos are often used as refresher material long after the class has been completed. When new videos are created or updated by CSI, they are made available to all past students. As well, if a student has a specific question about a process or procedure that cannot be easily answered, a CSI forensic expert will make a custom video for the student and provide it to them.
