An investigation is only as useful as your ability to explain it. A technically perfect analysis can still fail if the report is unclear, incomplete, or hard for a non-technical reader to follow. This module covers how to turn your findings into evidence that others can rely on.
You'll learn how to structure and write a forensic report that is accurate, objective, and repeatable. Then you'll look at the role of an expert witness: preparing your evidence, presenting it clearly, and handling questions under examination in court or a hearing.
This is the final module of the course. When you're ready, continue to the Projects page to put your skills into practice.
