The aim of this training course is to provide you with deep understanding of Flash NAND data recovery. Our highly professional instructors will teach you how to handle damaged Flash drives more efficiently in practice exercises.

What you’ll Learn:

  • Essential skills of Flash Data Recovery from memory sticks, SD cards and other NAND-based storage devices
  • Official ACE Lab Data Recovery certification
  • Useful handouts

Flash Data Recovery Expert Training Overview

Day 1 Highlights

During the first day of training you are given a detailed review of NAND memory theory and its principles. PC-3000 Flash functionality is introduced and reviewed.

Day 2 Highlights

The second day is dedicated to help you understand each theoretical point as theory turns into examples of application. You are provided practice exercises with real cases. Every attendee has to solve numerous cases under the supervision of our instructors.

Day 3 Highlights

On the third day we extend your knowledge even further, strengthen it in practice and give you the complete picture of how to perform NAND data recovery and how to use the PC-3000 Flash in the most efficient way.

Day 4 Highlights

Even more practical tasks, a real case of chip-off recovery and learning modes for improving the NAND Memory chip reading and quality of the dump.
