Course Objectives
The purpose of this course is to ensure that trainers are prepared to deliver relevant and useful material that will be used to train, coach, and support new and existing IBIS® TRAX-HD3D™ users. Ultra Electronics Forensic Technology Inc. approved trainers will be able to monitor and identify acquisition protocols that are not being followed correctly. Trainers will be able to monitor and correct data entries to ensure that quality levels are maintained and to properly identify and correct user issues from technical issues.
This course will strengthen the trainer’s skill set, will cover best practices and several of the more unusual cartridge case and bullet acquisitions, and will also provide a comprehensive overview of the IBIS TRAX-HD3D systems (BRASSTRAX™, BULLETTRAX™, and MATCHPOINT™).
This course will help identify different learning and teaching styles and will include practice time in the classroom environment.
