| The SCERS training program teaches FUNDAMENTAL forensic techniques for the analysis of electronic data from desktop computer systems and selected peripherals. While the course is an advanced training for FLETC, it is designed as a comprehensive digital forensics FOUNDATIONAL course of instruction for novice examiners or those who wish to update their skill/tool set. The SCERS training program is an intense course that requires substantial computer aptitude and prior computer training equivalent to that presented in the Digital Evidence Acquisition Specialist Training Program (DEASTP). DEASTP teaches the proper methodology for acquiring digital evidence in a forensically sound manner; SCERS teaches how to analyze this data. They are two distinct skill-sets and both are required for offices where the digital evidence examiner must also respond to the scene and collect the evidence. SCERS no longer incorporates any data acquisition in the curriculum which is why DEASTP is a prerequisite. Successful completion of a graded practical exercise is required for graduation. Classroom work is intensive with substantial after hours work required for most students. The SCERS training program tuition includes state-of-the-art hardware and software which will be issued to each student and will be demonstrated and used during class. The goal of the course is to provide the hardware, software and training to enable the graduate to examine digital evidence upon return to their office. Topics addressed in SCERS include examinations of data from desktop and notebook computers running commonly used operating systems, including but not limited to Windows 9X, NT, 2000, and XP; hands-on use of specialized software to enhance investigative analysis; and legal issues relating to the introduction of computer evidence in court. While this is an expensive course by FLETC standards, the hardware and software issued to each student during the course provide exceptional value when compared | |||
