Licensed Guidance Software Course

Prerequisites: EnCase® Computer Forensics II , EnCase® Enterprise I or the PSD Five-day Implementation. No other training or experience will be accepted or substituted. Advance preparation for this course is not required.

The EnCE® Application must be filled out and approved before registration to this course will be confirmed.

This hands-on course is designed for EnCase® users who are preparing for the EnCE® (EnCase® Certified Examiner) certification process. The EnCE® certification is a highly sought after accreditation which requires significant knowledge of computer forensics and Guidance Software’s EnCase® product to successfully achieve. The two phase testing process is based upon a written examination and also the completion of a thorough practical scenario examination and preparation of a investigative report. The certification is based upon the practical computer forensic skills and knowledge presented in Guidance Software’s Computer Forensic I and Computer Forensic II courses. The EnCE® Prep course is NOT intended to be a replacement for these two classes. Instead, it is a thorough but accelerated review of the subjects covered in those courses. Student’s cannot waive or substitute the prerequisite attendance of Guidance Software’s Computer Forensics II course when applying to attend the EnCE® Preparation course.

Students will use EnCase hands on to review the skill set required to address the EnCE® practical examination, including acquisition and handling of evidence, understanding the evidence file, case creation, keyword searches, hashing, signature analysis, bookmarking and reporting their findings, and other similar skills. Students will review the body of knowledge required to perform computer forensics. This body of knowledge in the areas of computer science, computer forensic terminology, law and familiarity with the EnCase® forensic tool is the core of the first phase (written examination) of the certification process.

Participants in BitSecs EnCE Prep Course will receive a voucher, valued at $200, to take the written examination at a Prometric Testing Center!
