CCL is best known as Europe’s largest ISO 17025 accredited digital forensics lab, serving law enforcement and private sector clients. But we are also proud to be one of the leading providers of teaching and work experience for those in higher education.
We’ve already designed and delivered the content for Cranfield University’s Digital Forensics MSc; and we have extensive training and competency materials to draw on to tailor courses to the needs of undergraduates as well as post-graduates. We can build modules to suit across both computer and mobile forensics, with the addition of specialisms such as advanced extraction and cell site analysis if desired.
A recent assignment - a 12-week custom module focusing on mobile device forensics for Birmingham City University – went down incredibly well with both students and the BCU course leader.
Here’s some of the great feedback we received.
Student quotes:
“Having industry professionals who work on real cases with the newest technologies gave us a real insight into carrying out digital forensics investigations. It was a great opportunity where I learnt a huge range of investigative techniques involving a variety of phones and operating systems.”
