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 IACIS certification — a mark of distinction recognized globally.
Beyond the classroom, the Orlando event offers something just as valuable: connection. Attendees gain access to leading instructors, seasoned forensic practitioners, and peers from law enforcement, government, and private sectors — all committed to advancing the profession. Set in a vibrant and convenient location, the 2026 event combines top-tier instruction with the opportunity to build lasting relationships, discover new tools and techniques, and be part of a trusted global community. Don’t miss your chance to invest in your future and accelerate your digital forensics career.
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 Certified Forensic Computer Examiner (CFCE), Certified Advanced Windows Forensic Examiner (CAWFE), and IACIS Certified Mobile Device Examiner (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.
The Basic Computer Forensic Examiner (BCFE) course is the cornerstone of IACIS training and the primary offering during the Orlando event. Designed for both new and transitioning digital forensic professionals, BCFE blends foundational theory with intensive hands-on labs. With a 6/8:1 student-to-trainer ratio, every class is fully supported by experienced instructors and dedicated trainers who work closely with each student to ensure understanding, progress, and success. Trainers are always present during instruction, ready to assist and provide immediate, personalized guidance.
The BCFE course starts with the fundamentals and quickly advances into complex forensic techniques and terminology. No prior forensic experience is required — students from all backgrounds are welcome, and any existing computer knowledge will enhance the learning experience. By the end of the course, students will have acquired approximately 90% of the knowledge needed to pursue IACIS’s respected Certified Forensic Computer Examiner (CFCE) credential. For those who move forward with the CFCE certification, IACIS provides a structured support system — including a personal coach — to guide them through the rigorous peer review process. Optional evening labs are also available for students seeking additional practice time.
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.
