Board Level Repair Training
For Digital Forensic ExaminersWhat skills will I learn in this class?
Digital Forensic Examiners are special, in that we NEED to get the data no matter what! In order to do so, we need working devices. We focus persistence by never giving up on a device until we obtain the data.
This course was developed with the ever-changing field of digital forensics in mind. No longer can we rely on just commercial tools and automated processes. Now more than ever, it is important to be able to diagnose inoperable devices and perform device repairs at the board level so we can obtain our data extractions.
Through a combination of lectures and hands on practicals, students will learn indispensable diagnosis skills, troubleshooting resources, and the latest repair techniques utilizing state of the art equipment.
The course curriculum was developed by our instructors who are experienced repair professionals and expert digital forensic examiners who practice these skills on a daily basis.
What to do when you do not have schematics as a reference
Keeping in tradition with all Teel Technologies Canada offerings, this course goes beyond repair and relates to the specific needs of the digital forensic examiner.
Although this course will follow a specific program, content is subject to change depending on student interest and inquiries, as well as any breakthrough digital forensics techniques. This course will also teach you when the data is unrecoverable.
Those in the digital forensics field follow certain requirements, in particular, Daubert and Frye. The subject matter and course content follows “best practice methods” and accepted techniques that are reliable and relevant in the scientific community.
