Hello there,
I'm 90% sure of doing the distance learning CCE course with Kennesaw.edu they're in the training and education page, which kinda answers my first question.
1. Is this a good way of getting into the computer forensics field and more specifically is this course worthwhile?, has anyone is the forum done this course/ cert?.
Also I'm not an IT grad, but have 3years IT support and the A+ Cert - will this kind of background be ok?
i'm busy reading all the posts on this forum, and i know these kind of questions get asked alot - sorry guys!
cheers

I just finished the distance learning forensics course from Kennesaw and I am very happy with the training. I am in the middle of the CCE certification process right now.
You definitely need some IT experience under your belt. You sound like you have enough experience.
Go for it, I don't regret it. I feel it is better training than a software specific training course. You learn so much more than just how to operate an automated product.
Hope that helps. )
thanks very much bobby, good luck with the course, i did well in the online test they give you to test your suitability - i'll let you know my final decision - should be in the summer.
how long does it take after registering with them to get started? maybe i should do all the paperwork soon.
Thanks.
If you do the online course then it takes less than 24-48 hours to start recieving, via email and postal mail, login info for first module and software.
I have recently completed this course, I am also in the process of doing the CCE certification. I found this course superb, you will even be allocated a UK tutor, I found them to be very responsive with questions and help.
A little technical knowledge will go a long way in this course; I come from a unix background and had no problem picking up the course work.
