Cybercrime Advanced

The fight against cybercrime calls for a coordinated investigative approach. The Cybercrime Advanced course covers how to make even better use of opportunities for internet and computer technology in (cyber) investigations. Whereas anyone in investigations will, at some point, come into contact with cybercrime or digitised crime, there are those investigators and specialists who deal with these issues in their investigations daily. The Cybercrime Advanced course allows these investigators and specialists to expand the knowledge, competences, and tools needed to perform these investigations with (even) greater efficiency.

For whom is this training intended?
This course is intended for anyone in investigations who actively deals with cybercrime or digitised crime investigations. Examples are investigators whose tasks emphasise cybercrime, team leads directing cybercrime specialists, and investigators intending to function as points for cybercrime contact in investigations teams. Participants are recommended to complete the Cybercrime Investigations successfully before taking part in this course.
