• 3 Days - $750

    This basic three-day, 24 hour course, is designed to introduce investigators and analysts on how to obtain, understand, and analyze call detail records and specialized carrier reports from AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Students will become proficient on how to develop a pattern of life analysis and create maps of historical location activity to produce investigative leads. Instruction includes basic mobile network technology (3G, 4G, 5G), radio frequency propagation, cell site location mapping, and tower dump investigative techniques. Students will also be taught how to integrate other forms of location data such as GPS trackers, Google location history, pen register trap and trace, application derived data and Wi-Fi location data.

    Prerequisite: None

    All course participants will be provided access to the powerful Gladiator ESPA analytic software during the course and for 90 days after course completion.

  • 5 Days - $1,250

    This advanced five-day, 40 hour course, expands on GF-101. Students will be instructed on how to analyze all US based call detail records. Students will be taught advanced topics such as how network signaling occurs and how a call detail record is generated. The course will dive deeper into 4G and 5G networks, timing advance, 3GPP standards, radio frequency coverage, as well as data record nuances and limitations. Additional topics will cover VIN to IMEI investigations, VoIP, tower dump/common device analysis, pen register trap and trace, and social media exploitation.

    Prerequisite: GF-101 or equivelent

    All course participants will be provided access to the powerful Gladiator ESPA analytic software during the course and for 90 days after course completion.

Course Reviews

“I have been taking all kinds of similar courses since 2018. THIS ONE IS THE BEST. I cannot stress that enough. Wendell knows his *** really well and keeps up with emerging tech (which is rare) and easily explains it. After day two I told all the surrounding agencies to attend.”

“Class is great, I do feel that this course is something that should be required every 6 months or annually to stay refreshed. Often times people get stuck in their ways and don’t realize what else is out there to make their job more efficient.”

“Really good course. Excellent instructors, very knowledgeable and very invested in student success.”

“I have been to other Basic and SME courses, but still learned way more from this class that I ever have before. I felt those courses tried to make you an “expert” in their system, and not in how CSLI as a whole works and functions.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the class and felt it covered a gap in training for the available training in my area. I have been stuck at the basic level with all the courses I have found and really appreciated having something offering more.”

“I will definately take many things back with me and have a better understanding of certain things related to cellular records and UE locations. I absolutely expanded my knowledge regarding cellular anlaysis.”

“This course was great and extremely helpful in providing me with a better understanding of how cellular networks operate and how we can better use records analysis in our daily work. I would definatley recommend it to someone who wants to take the next step in cellular records analysis and mapping. Great course!”

Overall this was a great course! It hands down expanded my knowledge on the underlying principles of cell mapping and made me more knowledgeable about core concepts and why the records are how they are.”
