Would you guys recommend doing a 5 day intensive course or self paced study?

I did the five day course at Kennesaw State University under John Mellon and both the course and the instructor were excellent, I would recommend both. Bear in mind, however, that you are expected to undertake considerable home study before the five day course and then the CCE practical examination will take you a further few weeks at home to complete.

as someone who has done the 5 day CCE bootcamp and am now doing the 15 week online bootcamp from Champlain College, I would say to check out Champlain. You have time to absorb more information and get knowledgable instructors.

What are the costs for these courses, Do they run in to the thousands?

CCE bootcamp runs about $3k for a week.

OUCH! 😯

Definitely something I wont be paying for myself so… I have to get myself a job and see if I could get a cert funded!

Would like to add to my MSc with a recognised cert, but without a job and 3k in funds to spare, if there any cert available that doesn't run into big money like that?

If you want to reduce the cost and you already have the knowledge, you can take the CCE without doing the bootcamp.

You can also challenge the GCFA without taking the corresponding SANS training.
