About the Course Series

Siker offers an extensive curriculum spanning four critical domains of cyber technical investigation.

Whether you are new to the field or a seasoned specialist, our courses are structured to meet you at the right level and take you further in your digital forensics journey.

Who is behind these Courses?

Siker has collaborated with CFL Cyber in order to make these courses available. The courses have been authored by Steve Shepherd MBE, who also joined Siker as the MD and head of this Academy. Steve previously wrote and developed many similar technical courses at 7Safe and PA Consulting. Those from law enforcement and industry who attended his classes will no doubt remember not only the technical depth but also the dry sense of humour that made even the most complex of subjects engaging. That same rigour and personality run through every course in this series.

Do you remember any of these courses that Steve authored and instructed on?

Learning by Approach: Hands-On, Not Just Theory

We believe that forensic and technical cyber skills are best learned by doing, not death by PowerPoint!

Every course, from foundation level onwards, is practical and hands‑on. You will work with real artefacts, real tools, and realistic scenarios. This reinforces knowledge and builds genuine familiarity with new topics before you may encounter them in the real world, or to reinforce what you already know.

“Tell me, and I will forget. “

“Show me, and I will remember.” 

“Let me do it, and I will understand.” (Well, mostly!)

Course Levels

We offer four progressive levels to support your entire career journey:

Awareness Courses

Awareness courses are one-day courses designed for leaders or managers The courses give an overview of the subject matter to give a better understanding of the disciplines in question.

Foundation Courses

Foundation courses are typically three-day courses tailored for individuals new to, or recently entering, the digital forensic field. The courses provide a solid foundation of knowledge in a particular discipline. 

Certified Intermediate Courses

Certified intermediate courses are five-day programmes designed for individuals with some experience who seek to strengthen their skills in a particular discipline. These courses are more detailed and technical than the foundation courses, and they conclude with a theory exam and a practical assessment.   

Certified Advanced/Specialist Courses

Certified advanced or specialist courses are five-day programmes designed for more experienced individuals who want to improve their skills or specialise in a particular cyber discipline. These courses conclude with a theory exam and a practical assessment. 

Your Cyber Security & Digital Forensic Learning Pathway

We have developed a learning pathway to enable an individual to progress from the very basics of knowledge to being a skilled practitioner or Incident responder, depending on your role and ambition.
