Our Introductory Workshop
Footage to Fact: Essentials of Legally Admissible Video & Drone Evidence
A focused half-day training workshop designed to introduce professionals to the core legal and technical standards required for video and drone footage to hold up in court.
Whether it’s from CCTV, bodycams, mobile phones, or drones—evidence is only useful if it’s admissible. In this workshop, we teach you how to bridge the gap between collecting footage and using it effectively in legal, disciplinary, or compliance proceedings.
What You’ll Learn
What qualifies video or drone footage as legal evidence
The chain of custody: how to protect footage integrity
Basic legal terminology and evidentiary thresholds
Common mistakes that make footage inadmissible
Drone footage considerations: licensing, data handling & privacy
Real-world examples of successful (and failed) evidence use
Key compliance principles from African legal systems
Why It Matters
“We lost the case—not because the footage was wrong, but because it wasn’t handled right.”
This is the reality for many professionals who rely on video or drone footage daily but have no formal training in evidentiary standards.
Don’t let that happen to you or your organization. Get the legal foundations right—before your footage is challenged.

- Proper handling and storage of video and drone footage
- Legal chain of custody is never broken
- Your footage is compliant with local and international standards
- You know exactly what courts require
Don’t let technicality ruin your case. Get certified.
