The Essentials of Biometrics - 2-day Course

Course Overview

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the world of biometrics. It includes the Elementary Biometrics course material but delivers a further layer of technical information.

How well is your identity protected? How vital is biometric technology in providing an enhanced security layer to your systems? Through this course, you will understand the current threats and issues that surround security, and the benefits of utilising Biometrics to be able to positively identify individuals.

The course will provide a comprehensive understanding of the different biometric technologies and the key considerations for implementing them within a security system. The course will also provide an overview of current Government and private sector applications.

Who Should Attend

The Essentials of Biometrics is a two-day course helpful for managers, senior management or anyone who needs a general understanding of Biometrics.

Interactive Session

Interactive in-class workshops offer valuable insight into different biometric technologies while providing an opportunity to see live biometric systems in action. These demonstrations help to enforce the course and help students understand Biometric technologies with hands-on experience.
