Certification Overview
The Cellebrite Certified Mobile Examiner track is designed to prepare practitioners with the knowledge and skills to perform forensically sound mobile investigations. These course tracks also prepare the candidate to utilize Cellebrite’s Inseyets UFED technology and Inseyets Physical Analyzer to conduct extractions, analyze findings, and prepare reports for legal proceedings.
The CCME track is made up of:
- Cellebrite Certified Operator (CCO) for Inseyets
- Cellebrite Certified Physical Analyst (CCPA) for Inseyets
- Cellebrite Advanced Smartphone Analysis (CASA) with Inseyets
Our legacy CCO, CCPA, and CASA courses are accepted as prerequisites for the CCME Certification, provided they are in good certification standing.
To qualify for the CCME Practical Exam and Certification, candidates must have active core certifications (CCO & CCPA) and must have completed the CASA advanced course. The CCME Certification is valid for two years. Recertification is required every two years to maintain active CCME status.
Why was CASA added to the CCME requirements?
How To Renew?
To renew your CCME certification, you must complete 21 additional hours of continuing education (CE) credits and hold current CCO and CCPA certifications. If you have not yet completed the CASA course, you will need to do so before the renewal deadline to maintain your CCME certification.
Certification Workshop
The CCME Preparation Workshop is designed for students who have completed the necessary prerequisites and are ready to begin the capstone certification process for Cellebrite’s core mobile forensics track. During the workshop, candidates will gain a detailed understanding of the CCME process and learn what is required to successfully complete the practical skills assessment and certification exam.
The workshop includes a 4-hour preparation course, consisting of 12 instructional videos that cover essential material from CMFF, CCO, CCPA, and CASA—all of which are necessary for the CCME exam. The final section of the course provides an overview of what students can expect during the CCME practical and exam.
The CCME Workshop is included in the CCME Exam purchase.

Course FAQ's
What is the CCME Certification Process?
The CCME certification program is a capstone certification program for Cellebrite’s core mobile forensic track. This certification program is designed to measure the knowledge, skills, and abilities of certification candidates based on the completion of time-limited practical exercises and a proctored knowledge-based examination. Earning the CCME certifies that mobile device examiners have attained a level of mastery in the discipline of mobile device forensic investigation methodology as well as a high degree of proficiency with Cellebrite’s Physical Analyzer software. Earning the CCME requires a high level of working and practical knowledge regarding Cellebrite’s UFED technology. The certification program tests basic knowledge, tool knowledge, and practical experience using two popular mobile device operating systems including Android and iOS.
Is there a class associated with the CCME?

Once I am eligible and enroll, how long do I have to complete the CCME?
The CCME process must be completed within 45 days of the candidate’s enrollment date. Failed attempts will require the applicant to restart the certification process again by paying all applicable fees and reapplying. A candidate’s work or personal schedule is not an acceptable excuse for missing this deadline, therefore there is no waiver available for this time limit. Failure to complete the CCME within the 45-day period shall be considered a failed attempt.
Are there certain technical requirements for the proctored examination?
Cellebrite now uses an online proctoring service called ProctorFree. Students must be able to utilize the Proctor Free application, which is downloaded and executed via the browser. We have established the Proctored Exam Preparation Guide page to aid student with preparing for this process. All students should visit this page prior to attempting the final exam.
Can I ask for help from Cellebrite to complete the CCME?
The CCME is for experienced examiners who must complete tasks and answer questions which will challenge their knowledge, skills, and abilities. Unfortunately, Cellebrite does not answer questions related to the CCME standalone certification tasks. This does not preclude a candidate to challenge questions on the examination.
What software, hardware, and resources will I need to complete the CCME process?
CCME candidates must have: -Access to licensed either a UFED Touch/Touch2 or UFED4PC.
• A computer capable of running UFED Physical Analyzer software.
• A dongle or software license to use UFED Physical Analyzer software.
• An internet connection to complete the practical skills assessment online.
A candidate’s failure to have licensed software and/or decode the extractions provided is not an acceptable excuse for a failed attempt.

How should I prepare for the CCME?
The practical skills assessment is designed to allow the candidate to demonstrate their ability to analyze a known data set through the application of best forensic practices, forensic concepts, and methodologies in the analysis of the data. Candidates who have attended advanced smartphone analysis courses, along with investigative experience, should have sufficient skills to pass the practical skills assessment. The two practical skills assessments will require examiners to know:
• When to and how to use the Open Advanced dialogue.
• Database analysis techniques (SQLite, etc.). -How to analyze unsupported (not decoded) iOS and Android applications and related data artifacts.
• How to analyze data artifacts associated with uninstalled applications.
• How to view and decode hexadecimal values. -How to analyze plist files.
• How to identify exact hexadecimal and decimal offsets for specific data.
• How to identify user account IDs associated with social media accounts.
The CCME Certification Examination consists of 75 knowledge questions that are randomly selected from a bank of questions based on prerequisite course content (CCO, CCPA and CASA). There may also be questions related to database analysis. Candidates may use their notes and course material during the CCME Certification Examination.
