Partners
Build forensic skills with IDFE
We work with training providers, events, universities and technology companies that want independent, verifiable certification for the people who examine digital evidence. Becoming a partner costs nothing and is approved case by case; the exams stay the same for everyone.
Ways to partner
Four partner types
Training partners

Event and community partners
Conferences, meetups and professional associations of examiners.
- Event discount codes for your attendees
- Usage report after the event
- A session on IDFE certification for your members
Academic partners
Universities and schools with forensics, computing or law programmes that add IDFE certification.

Independence
What partnership never includes
IDFE exams stay independent of every partner.
- Exam questionsPartners never see exam questions or evidence packages.
- Pass marksPartners never influence the pass mark or the grading of any candidate.
- PlacementPartners cannot buy placement in course content or results. Labs use free tools and public images.
