About this course
The Certified Digital Forensics Examiner (CDFE) course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and methodologies required to perform effective digital forensic examinations. With the rapid rise in cybercrime and digital fraud, organizations and law enforcement agencies increasingly rely on digital forensic specialists to investigate incidents, gather evidence, and present findings in a legally defensible manner.
This comprehensive program, led by experienced instructor Tracy Preston, provides a structured approach to forensic investigations. Participants will explore foundational concepts, including the origins of digital forensics, the legal system, and the differences between criminal and civil cases. The course then delves into incident handling, investigative theory, and the forensic process—covering everything from evidence acquisition and authentication to analysis, reporting, and courtroom presentation.
Students will gain hands-on exposure to industry-standard tools and protocols for forensic examinations of disks, SSDs, mobile devices, and specialized artifacts such as registry files, emails, and web browsing histories. Advanced topics include laboratory protocols, electronic discovery, mobile forensics, and digital forensics reporting—ensuring learners are well-prepared for both technical and procedural aspects of the profession.
By the end of this course, participants will not only understand how to investigate digital crimes but also how to prepare evidence for use in legal proceedings. Whether you are a security professional, IT auditor, law enforcement officer, or aspiring forensic examiner, this certification provides the skills and credibility to advance your career in digital forensics.
