CDR Technician and Data Analyst Certification Training Series
Completion of the CDR Technician Course is an absolute, required prerequisite for attendance at the CDR Data Analyst Certification course.
Those who have previously attended a CDR Operator's Certification course prior to December 2007 will NOT have completed the equivalent of the Technician Level course and do not meet the prerequisite for the Data Analyst's Certification course. See complete course descriptions below for details.
CDR Technician Certification Course This course offers the collision investigator insight into the operational function of the Bosch Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) System. At the end of this course, a Technician would be expected to be able to image and preserve data in a format such that the CDR Data Analyst would be able to use that collected data together with a situationally complete reconstruction. The CDR Technician course replaces a portion of the previously offered "CDR Operator's Certification Course" but does not go into any analysis of the data extracted/harvested. This course is best suited for field investigators and is the basis for and a required prerequisite for the CDR Data Analyst's course. Major course topics include:
Ownership of the Bosch CDR System, although strongly encouraged, is not required and the design of this course is such that even those who have not yet obtained a system will better understand this evolving technology and benefit from the information. Course completion meets the requirements for recognition as the Bosch CDR System Data Collection Technician . This course is conducted over a full 8 hours over 1 day starting at 8am and ending after 4:30pm/16:30hrs. Please make your travel arrangements to allow for ample time to get to the airport and go through security after the completion of the course - The class does not normally end earlier than 4:30PM.

CDR Data Analyst Certification Course This course offers the collision reconstructionist who has completed the CDR Technician Course further insight into the function of the automobile Event Data Recorder (EDR) component, its history and evolution as well as interpretation skills enabling the application of a Bosch Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) System report to a situationally complete crash reconstruction. Using traditional reconstruction techniques and typical admissibility hearing issues as the general basis for the course objectives, the CDR Data Analyst Certification program is both a natural extension of the CDR Technician training and an expansion of reconstruction skills. This course, together with the Technician course, replaces the previously offered "CDR Operator's Certification Course." There is no hands on downloading activity in this class since it is assumed that those in attendance have completed the Technician course and understand that process along with the underlying concepts of data storage in the EDR component, CDR software troubleshooting and related error messages and their solution(s). For that reason, there is no need to bring a CDR System to this course. Activity in this course is focused on reading and understanding a CDR report then applying it to a normal situationally complete reconstruction. Major course topics include:
 Reading, interpreting and using the accessible GM, Ford and Chrysler vehicle CDR reports line-by-line
Ownership of the Bosch CDR System, although strongly encouraged, is not required and the design of this course is such that even those who have not yet obtained a system will better understand this evolving technology and benefit from the information assuming they have completed the Technician course. Course completion - together with completion of the Technician course - meets the requirements for the Bosch CDR System Data Analyst individual certification. This course is conducted over a full 32 hours over 4 days starting after 8am and ending at 4:30pm/16:30hrs. Please make your travel arrangements to allow for ample time to get to the airport and go through security after the completion of the course on the last day. Given the volume of material, this course does not usually end earlier than 4:30PM (1630hrs) on the last day. Tuition: $400 (USD) Upcoming courses: May 20-23, 2008: Westlake (Cleveland area), Ohio sponsored by the Westlake Police Department at the Westlake Recreation Center, 28955 Hilliard Blvd, Westlake, OH 44145 (Class closed, full) June 24-27, 2008: New Orleans, LA at the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel, 621 Saint Louis Street, New Orleans, LA 70140 Normally, CSI does not arrange for lodging at a class; however, for this class offering, Champagne Travel has arranged for an incredibly low room rate at the hotel where the class will be held.
