The third in a series of workshops to develop a national digital forensics examiners competency framework was undertaken last week at ECU. Members of the Electronic Evidence Special Advisory Group (ESSAG) were present. EESAG is comprised of the officers in charge of computer crime in each Australian state, the AFP and other invited parties. ESSAG  reports to Prime Minister and Cabinet. The competency framework is using Blooms learning taxonomy as the underpinning philosophy.  The framework has six levels of competency and three main areas of assessment these are acquisition, data preservation and presentation.

The next stage this project  sees ECUs Dr Andrew Woodward completing the full documentation on the competencies for release at some stage later in the year
