I would suggest more hands on "labs" and encouragement of installing "TAILS" which was not part of our class. We tried to install on our own time and had issues. Our class had internet congestion and constant disconnection issues which maybe smaller classes would eliminate the issue. Overall good class but some time could have been better utilized.

This course has great potential. The subject matter was very interesting and the instructor seemed knowledgeable on the material. I think that student learning could have been improved if it had followed a program of example/explanation of investigative tool followed by practical app. I don't think enough time was spent on each investigative tool and feel I walked away with less than my co-workers who had learned the same material from Instructor Tootsi.

Very informative class. The tools provided in the class will help in any investigation.

Thank you

FIRST DAY CLASSROOM WAS TOO SMALL FOR THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE. HAD ABOUT 40 PEOPLE IN A 20 PERSON CLASSROOM. THIS ISSUE WAS CLEARED UP THE SECOND DAY AND EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GREAT!

Great course!

I learned too late that I could take a similar class for free through the attorney general's office.

Initial training site at Hampton Inn was inadequate, issue was addressed on the second day by relocating to the Double Tree

topic was relevant and learned new things

Great class!

Good course. The first day seemed a bit unorganized.

The information was good. The training site on day 1 was not good.

Nothing further..................

Great course, thank you!

This class was a 2 day class that could have EASILY been a week long class. I felt like the instructor had a wealth of knowledge and there was too much material covered in too short of a time frame. I would recommend there being more time spent going over how to properly do a task as opposed to rushing through it in order to get more topics covered. Additionally, the breaks were 15 minutes at a time several times throughout the day. They could have been 5-10 minutes in order to cover more material or not rush through the material. Also, the videos (although interesting about Silk road) didn't provide much information other than go over the case. I would have rather had videos that broke down specifically how to crack dark web cases as an Investigator. Also, we all were told to bring two hard drives. He said it would have taken 2 hours to install TOR on the hard drive, which I believe. However, maybe start the install early on in the first part of the day if it takes a while to download. Then later in the day go by step by step on what is needed to make it operate properly. I am being nit picky, but overall the class was great!

Very useful information. Wish I had attended this course sooner. I liked the fact that you had us do actual searches and didnt just have us sit watching a power piont.

As I am sure you are well aware, the first room was very small and cramped. They made up for it by moving it to another hotel and providing lunch, which was nice. Overall it was a good class and I learned several things that I will be able to bring back to my agency.

David Ferreira’s knowledge and application of the dark web and the variety of criminal investigations far exceeded my expectations. David Ferreira has made himself available for any future assistance.

Thanks for the training. Hampton Inn was not the best location. Thankfully it was changed to double tree on the second day.

The course and instruction were great. My only complaint would be the location, Hampton Inn. The hotel was nice, but the original conference room they gave us did not have enough room and delayed the start of the class. Luckily we were able to move to a hotel next door, the Double Tree, which was able to better accommodate us.

The class was very informative and will be a beneficial skill set to have.

This is a fantastic class I would encourage any officer in investigations to attend. This has been a wealth of information and will truly benefit my investigations.

Best training class I've been to in a long time.

Great training, great presenter, very easy to follow, competent, and made the class interesting. My only complaint would be do a little more research into the location where the class is going to be. Had you just yelped the hotel you would have saw it was shit. It was under renovation. It shares a parking lot with an Arco/ AM/PM, and there is a taco bell just adjacent. All this = tweaker hang out, and with this course content being what it was, a more private and less nefarious passersby would be ideal. We actually canceled our hotel stay and switched hotels. The 2nd day of the training, which got moved, was ideal. When you have DEA agents from Oakland saying its sketchy, then you know you have come close to rock bottom :). That aside, I'd recommend this training, and the overall area is excellent, so don't rule out San Diego/ Del Mar, just rule out the Hampton Inn location.

This was new information for me. I wish I had another day of training to grasp all of the content.
