There is a Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator certification from EC Council that can give you a good baseline for the steps. SANS also has forensic courses.

There’s a lot to know about becoming a forensics specialist. I’d recommend checking out the ISFCE which offers a widely-recognized certification in this area.

Just proceed with caution…apparently some people have the idea that computer forensics examiners should be licensed PI’s. Just like any other degree (i.e. M.D.), license (i.e. P.I.), or certification (i.e. CISSP) - none of them mean you’re all of a sudden going to know your stuff and provide quality services.

Read up more about what you can do to improve yourself here that will help you stand out above the noise.
