KAPE Training Overhaul Update

Kroll is currently aiming for Q2 2024 release of the overhauled and content-refreshed KAPE training, which is switching from a live instruction model to self-paced, on-demand model. The new training model will provide the following:

• Expanded instructor commentary
• Expanded forensic and incident response tools and processes covered
• New and refreshed content coverage
• More in-depth walkthroughs
• A self-paced, proceed-at-your-own pace and training comfort approach
• An updated certification exam

Students can email [email protected] for content requests, which will be reviewed by our Digital Forensic and Incident Response experienced professionals. If approved, our instructors will create custom videos and make them available in our video library for all students.

More information to come in the coming months. Stay tuned!
