Foundation in Mobile Phone Forensics

Entry Level | 4½ days

Course Aims

Foundation in Mobile Phone Forensics is a 4½ day training course designed to teach prospective or existing mobile phone examiners how to examine mobile devices in accordance with the ACPO Principles of Digital Computer Based Evidence. Without appropriate training, there is a significant risk that evidence may be lost or altered during the examination process, or that the examiner is discredited in court. The course will provide delegates with exposure to, and hands-on experience with, market leading phone forensic tools.

What you will learn

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Safely retrieve evidence from SIM cards, mobile phone handsets and memory cards using forensic software tools
• Identify key potential evidence which is not recovered by software tools and capture it in an appropriate way
• Implement or enhance local standard operating procedures for the examination of mobile devices within their organisation
• Explain and justify their actions in court

Who should attend?

This entry level course is targeted at those just starting out in mobile phone forensics, or existing mobile phone examiners who have not had the benefit of formal training.
