How do I register for training?
Please visit our PRODUCTS PAGE to register for training.
Are meals and hotel included in the registration price?
No, the registration price only includes the cost of the training class. Meals, hotel and other travel expenses are an additional cost to the student.
Can I bring a computer into the classroom?
No personal computing devices other than cell phones are allowed in the classroom for several reasons.
1. Space is very limited.
2. Significant distraction for the student and fellow students.
3. Integrity of student material and copyrights.
Can I have a cell phone in the class?
Cell phones are permitted as long as they are set to silent or vibrate. IACIS respectfully requests that should you have to take a call during an instructional block that you show common courtesy to others by taking the call outside. Excessive texting to the point of distracting others will not be tolerated.
What is the dress code?
Students are expected to attend class in casual business attire.
Will I need a rental car at the Caribe Royale Training Event?
There is a restaurant in the hotel and a few within walking distance; however, transportation will be needed for any weekend activities such as Disney or the other sights. ***Please be aware there is a daily parking fee for students who are not registered guests at the Caribe Royale.***

Where are your training events held?
IACIS offers an annual training event in Orlando, Florida the last week of April and the first week of May each year. There are approximately 800-900 students over the Orlando Event’s two-week period.
Occasionally, IACIS will offer specialized courses “on the road” if a volunteer to host the classes can be found and when staff schedules permit. To request a specialized training class, contact our Events Coordinator by emailing: VicePresident@iacis.com.
Who are your trainers?
IACIS trainers are 100% volunteers consisting of federal, state, and municipal law enforcement professionals, along with professional computer forensic practitioners located in more than 70 countries around the world. Our volunteer staff members and trainers are not paid to develop or teach our material. As a result, some IACIS members must take personal leave to attend our training event. This limits the number of times each class can be offered each year. Our staff and trainers have extensive experience in the field of Digital Forensics. All BCFE staff/trainers have earned their CFCE certification and are members in good standing.
Why should I choose IACIS training?
IACIS has been teaching computer forensics to law enforcement since 1990. The curriculum is vendor neutral and does not focus on any one forensic tool or suite of tools. IACIS does not endorse any hardware or software vendor and recognizes the need for many tools to successfully process digital evidence. IACIS is a non-profit organization, and our training is the most reasonably priced training in the marketplace. We invite you to compare the price of our training to any other forensic training.
Does IACIS offer discounts?
No, we do not offer any discounts on IACIS training as we strive to keep our prices as low as possible. IACIS does have two scholarships that have been generously funded through our IACIS membership, private donation and our vendor sponsors.

Who should I contact if I have additional questions about IACIS training?
Feel free to direct your questions to training@iacis.com. Please be patient as all IACIS “employees” are volunteers who normally conduct IACIS business during their evening hours from home.
