CompuForensics for Computer Forensics

The 100-hour 12-week live online Computer Forensics Examiner Course provides computer professionals with the training needed to begin performing computer forensics. Our training meets or exceeds all known state licensing training requirements. CompuForensics, in association with accredited state universities in Texas and Tennessee, offers government and private sectors a highly cost effective approach to upgrading the technical skills of their computer forensics examiner, management and support personnel. Live on-line training is modeled after that provided to federal law enforcement and taught by a former federal agent and national program manager for computer forensics. Live on-line afternoon and evening classes afford students the flexibility of distance learning (VOIP; US and Canadian students can also participate via phone when necessary) without the limited instructor access common in correspondence courses. The Forensics Examiner course, which includes on-line access to open source and trial-ware software in addition to a bootable write blocking computer forensics CDROM, employs Windows applications running inside SuSE Linux to safely and more efficiently analyze Windows systems. Prior Linux experience is not required. This 100-hour 'live' course replaces both on-campus and on-line Basic 54-hour and Advanced 40-hour Examiner courses, saving students $2995 compared to Basic and Advanced on-campus courses. The substantially revised Examiner course was first taught spring 2011 and will be offered during a choice of two hour time slots beginning in February 2012.
