View Certificate

Description

An Audio Video Forensic Analyst's task is to improve the perceived audio or visual clarity of a digital recording. An AVFA also comprehends the limitations of technology and the opinions that can be formed. However, AVFA work will also include measurements, cross referencing data, and handling everything in accordance with the highest ethics in preparation of your expert testimony in the service of justice. An AVFA will be expected to understand industry best practices, stay atop innovative peer-reviewed technologies and methods, maintain data integrity through the use of hash values and/or chain-of-custody control, keep detailed notes of activity, adapt existing knowledge to unexpected circumstances, and follow the procedures of the rules of evidence applicable to the jurisdiction of the case working solely for the evidence.
