If you were thinking of doing it, this is the best time since the $599 online course will only be at a discount of 60% for less than two weeks (until Dec 31, 2016) for only $235.  PLUS, registering before December 31, 2016 gets you a print copy of the book, the X-Ways Forensics Practitioner’s Guide shipped to you. Unfortunately, the book is only included for US/Canada registrants since shipping a book outside the USA or Canada costs more than the book.  Shipping to some countries costs more than the entire X-Ways online course costs.  I’m happy to ship a copy, but the shipping fees must be added.  Best bet is to order a book online that delivers locally without extreme duty fees.

Just a few notes on the online XWF course based on emails I have received:

Time limit:  You have a year to view the course as often as you want.

Software: Not included.  You don’t need it for the course, but I think you’ll want to have a license.  If you want to know how XWF compares to other tools, you can get 12 hours of instruction showing how it works and much of what it can do.  Once you start using XWF, you’ll begin to see that it can do a lot more than what the manual or any course can teach. 

About forensics: The online course doesn’t teach forensics, except to demonstrate features of XWF.  Don't expect to learn 'what is the registry' in this course.  It's all about X-Ways Forensics, to get you up and running right away.

Competence: If you go through this course (and you have a foundation of digital forensics knowledge), you’ll have enough knowledge to use XWF on a real case.

Students: If your school uses XWF, you’ll be much better off learning XWF online away from class to get the full benefit of using XWF.   School programs can only teach so much with software in courses where they must teach everything.

The book:  Through Dec 31, 2016 the X-Ways Forensics Practitioner’s Guide book (print copy) is included with your tuition (USA/Canada shipping only).   There is no other book on X-Ways Forensics available.  The next edition may not be for another year or two.  Get your copy as part of the course.  The cost savings of a book + 12 hours of X-Ways Forensics training at $235 is the best deal you can find anywhere.

Course updates: The course may be updated throughout the year when XWF has enough smaller updates to add up to a new course or updated lessons.  You get that as part of your registration.  Revisit the course throughout the year, anytime you want, from anywhere online.

XWF as a primary or other forensic tool:  If you currently use or plan to use XWF in your work, get some training.  Either this course or a course from X-Ways AG, or somewhere.  XWF is not a tool for self-learning when you need it for casework tomorrow.  Especially for a primary tool, get some training.  This course gives you the information to use it either as your primary tool or secondary tool.
