ECTEG trainer's meeting

Law Enforcement Agencies as well as International Organisations deliver trainings based on ECTEG materials and are often looking for qualified and experienced trainers on the delivered topic.

If you are a trainer or topic experts motivated to support capacity building efforts on fighting cyber crime and improving Law Enforcement digital forensics expertise, you are invited to attend the meeting organised by ECTEG from 22th to 26th of October 2018 to strengthen computer forensics training capacities at EU and national level. The meeting will introduce you to the following topics:

Introductory Open Source IT Forensics

This course was updated in June 2018 and the trainers will have access to the new version, including the new exercises based on an investigation scenario. Two weeks after the meeting, the course will be delivered to 60 attendees from EU LEA during a joint Europol-EC3 CEPOL course organised in Budapest too.

Live Data Forensics

This extremely popular course created three years ago, was recently updated to address new OS features. Trainers will have access to the new materials.

ECTEG e-learning development platform

E-learning becomes an essential component for basic, intermediate and advanced IT crime and computer forensics training. Recently ECTEG set up a server dedicated to the development e-learning packages. The open source and free software facilitate reuse of other existing materials developed by ECTEG members and collaborative development.

During the meeting, the attendees will learn on how to get access to the service and how to use the basic e-learning components to develop their own e-learning module. With the acquired knowledge they then will be able to contribute to future ECTEG course development and/or create their own national or local e-learning modules.
