LEVEL 3 COURSES

Bellow you will find the list of level 3 courses available at the moment.

​

Note: Training begins at 8:30 a.m. CST and typically ends at 4:30 p.m.

RF CERTIFICATION

This five-day course provides one and a half days of refresher training on the OSCOR Spectrum Analyzer, ORION Non-Linear Junction Detector, REI broadband receiver, and two and half days of pass/fail certification testing. The final day is reserved for retraining and retesting advanced concepts of RF analysis equipment.

Upon successful completion of the testing, students will be granted R.E.C. (REI Equipment Certified) credentials including a certificate. The R.E.C. credentials will be valid for one-full-year. This course is designed for the advanced TSCM professional. To maintain high teaching standards and to ensure an optimal learning environment, these courses will have limited seating.

​

COURSE TOPICS

Testing will be conducted to determine student skill levels on use of:

  • OSCOR Spectrum Analyzer

  • ORION Non-Linear Junction Detector

  • CPM-700 Countersurveillance Probe/Monitor

VOIP

This course will introduce students to the emerging technology of VoIP from a counter surveillance perspective.  Students will gain an understanding of VoIP network hardware and software basics.  While the focus will be on testing the characteristics of a network to determine potential threats and vulnerabilities, students will use additional hardware and software solutions to capture and analyze multiple types of network traffic.

​

COURSE TOPICS

  • Advanced TALAN tests on a VoIP network

  • Telephony and data wiring standards

  • Power over Ethernet

  • Circuit and packet switched networks

  • The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model

  • Elements of a VoIP network

  • VoIP protocols

  • Threats to a VoIP system

  • Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

  • Capturing VoIP traffic with the TALAN

  • Analyzing VoIP traffic

  • Wireshark Network Protocol Analyzer

TALAN CERTIFICATION

This five-day digital telephone course provides one and a half days of refresher training on the TALAN Telephone and Line Analyzer and two and a half days of pass/fail certification testing. The last day is reserved for retraining and retesting advanced concepts of the TALAN.

Upon successful completion of the testing, students will be granted R.E.C. (REI Equipment Certified) credentials including a certificate. The R.E.C. credentials will be valid for one-full-year. To maintain high teaching standards and to ensure an optimal learning environment, this course will have limited seating.

​

COURSE TOPICS

The TALAN Certification Course includes a written test, as well as the following hands-on operational tests:

  • Block Tests

    • DMM (digital multimeter)
