Training Brochure 2021
Welcome
It is my pleasure to present the Forensic Analytics Spring 2021 brochure,
which sets out our full range of training courses.
We provide accredited training in communications data, cell site analysis,
radio frequency propagation surveying, digital forensics, OSINT, intelligence
analysis, and more.
Our trainers are among the best in their fields – in fact, they train new and
existing analysts, detectives, digital media investigators and radio frequency
survey technicians for the majority of the UK’s police forces. We also work
with other agencies and sectors in the UK and internationally, so whatever
your role, we can help you reach the next level in your area of interest or
expertise.
Our team is available to speak to you about your training needs on
0800 158 3830, or you can email us at training@forensicanalytics.co.uk.
We look forward to hearing from you.

What we offer Quality of training Our training team is comprised of engineers, former senior police Investigators, Intelligence Analysts, and data specialists. Their skills are eclectic, and they are all highly respected in their areas of expertise. Many prestigious institutions put their trust in us, including the Home Office, University College London, the National Crime Agency, Zurich Police, New Zealand Police and most of the police forces in the UK. Qualifications Several of our courses provide a City & Guilds qualification, and CSAS or CDAN certified user status is acquired on completion of selected software courses. Online learning Courses can be delivered virtually – some within set timeframes and others that trainees can do at their own pace. Since March 2020, we’ve delivered live online training to around 1,000 registrants from police forces and agencies in the UK and abroad. While we look forward to the day we can return to the classroom for in-person training, we are also excited about the possibilities for even more live training via Teams in the future. Classroom-based learning When current restrictions have been lifted, we can come to your organisation, or you can come to us at our training centre in Hertfordshire, UK. All we need is a whiteboard to project to and a room to talk to you in. We bring everything else to you. 8 Enquiries & bookings +44 800 158 3830 | training@forensicanalytics.co.uk | www.forensicanalytics.co.uk | 9
