Course Overview
Course Overview
The Call Detail Records (CDR) Analysis Certificate Course is an intensive one-month specialized training program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to collect, interpret, analyze, and present Call Detail Records (CDRs) as digital evidence in criminal investigations, intelligence operations, cybercrime investigations, financial fraud cases, and national security investigations.
The course provides a comprehensive understanding of telecommunication records, including voice calls, SMS, data sessions, cell tower information, IMEI/IMSI data, subscriber details, location history, and communication patterns. Participants will learn how to reconstruct communication timelines, identify relationships between suspects, map movement patterns, analyze call behavior, and correlate CDR data with digital forensic evidence to uncover hidden criminal networks and investigative leads.
Through hands-on laboratory exercises, real-world case studies, and practical analysis using industry-standard CDR analytical tools, participants will develop the expertise required to transform large volumes of telecommunications data into actionable intelligence and professionally documented, court-admissible evidence. The course emphasizes evidence integrity, legal compliance, privacy considerations, and forensic reporting to support successful investigations and judicial proceedings.
