Each year, professionals from around the world gather in Orlando for IACIS’s flagship training event — a comprehensive, immersive experience designed to sharpen your skills, expand your knowledge, and deepen your professional network. At the heart of the event is the internationally respected Basic Computer Forensic Examiner (BCFE) course, a rigorous, hands-on training program that lays the foundation for excellence in digital forensics. Whether you’re new to the field or advancing your expertise, this course equips you with real-world skills and prepares you to earn the IACIS Certified Forensic Computer Examiner (CFCE) certification — a mark of distinction recognized globally.

In addition to the BCFE, the Orlando event also features IACIS Specialized Courses — advanced training programs designed for professionals ready to go deeper into focused areas of digital forensics. Courses like Advanced Windows Forensic Examiner and Mobile Device Forensics are not only technically intensive, but also prepare students for certification as a Certified Advanced Windows Forensic Examiner (CAWFE) or IACIS Certified Mobile Device Examiner (ICMDE) — with the certification cost included in the course fee. These specialized tracks offer a powerful way to expand expertise, elevate professional credentials, and stay on the cutting edge of the field.

IACIS instructors bring real-world experience to every course. Each trainer is actively engaged in the field of digital forensics and holds one or more advanced IACIS certifications, including the above-mentioned CFCE, CAWFE, and ICMDE. Their hands-on expertise ensures that every lesson is practical, relevant, and immediately applicable to the challenges examiners face today.

Our commitment to excellence doesn’t stop at instruction. IACIS training materials are reviewed and updated annually to reflect the latest tools, techniques, and legal considerations in digital forensics. This dedication keeps our courses at the forefront of the profession — so you leave Orlando equipped with knowledge that’s not only current, but trusted across the globe.

Beyond the classroom, the Orlando event offers something just as valuable: connection.
