Distance education

Broodmdh · 2010-03-30T00:33:25Z

I want to move into digital forensics, and I thought I'd start by getting some formal education. There aren't any schools in my area (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) that offers this kind of program. I know that there is a list of educational resources on this site, but I don't know how they'd be regarded locally (especially if they're from a foreign institution). Does anyone have experience in this matter? As far as I know, my only local employment options are local police or the RCMP, which may complicate things.

I know I am late joining this thread but here is a good article about chosen the right online education. The article is not specific to DF but I think it would still apply. I live in an area that does not have many options for formal education so I had to opt for an online program (it is focused on information assurance). However, I used a few of these steps last year (steps 1, 2, 4 and 6) and I found them to be very helpful in selecting the right program and university.
