The CFCE training and certification is conducted by the International Association of Computer Investigative Specialists (IACIS), a non-profit, all-volunteer organization of digital forensic professionals.
IACIS membership is normally included in the fee to enter the CFCE training or certification process.
Associate membership is available to current or aspiring members of the computer/digital forensics community that are able to pass a background check.
CFCE is one of the most widely recognized non-tool certifications in computer forensics for current and former law enforcement personnel.
[1] Some organizations such as the Computer Forensics Laboratory at Miami-Dade Police require their members to complete and maintain this certification.
