Forward Discovery's Mastering Macintosh Forensics Course (MMFC) has been designed by the top experts and practitioners in the field of Macintosh forensics. Forward Discovery is recognized as a leader in computer forensic and incident response training worldwide. Forward Discovery's Mastering Macintosh Forensics Course is designed knowing that an examiner must be able to successfully testify in a court of law, work within limited budgets and high case loads, develop comprehensive reports and process cases in a "no nonsense" and timely fashion.

Our training was designed for the student to learn what is needed with a no one left behind attitude in a team work atmosphere with hands on training. Students will walk away with the skills necessary to properly seize,acquire, analyze and document an examination of an Intel-based Macintosh computer in a forensically sound manner. Additionally, upon successful completion of a written exam, students will achieve a certification in using one of the best Mac forensic tools - Mac Forensic Lab.

The training was built upon a systematic approach for forensic examination of a Macintosh from start to finish, in away that just makes logical sense. Additionally, our training and materials are designed to be used as a supplemental reference library to allow an examiner to utilize what was learned after course completion,and when it's time for the next Mac exam.
