Great for someone aiming to move into the cybercrime investigation space. The mix of technical tools and legal perspectives makes this course stand out.
Every concept is backed by hands-on labs. Setting up the virtual environments and using forensic software gave me confidence to pursue real-world cases.
The monthly structure made it manageable. I was working full-time, but I could balance it. The course content is relevant and up to date with industry trends.
A highly technical course but very rewarding. I loved the modules on IoT forensics and malware analysis. Helped me land an internship in a cyber investigation firm.
The course required time and dedication, but it was worth it. The assignments were realistic and the feedback from instructors helped me improve each week.
Ghidra, Autopsy, Wireshark – we got to work with all the top tools. If you're aiming for a digital forensics career, this course gives you a strong head start.
I found the legal and evidence presentation modules very unique. It's not just about tech – they prepare you for actual court evidence procedures. Worth every minute.
Thoroughly enjoyed the forensic tools module. The capstone project helped me apply everything I learned in a real-world scenario. Highly recommended for aspiring investigators.
I joined from a non-cybersecurity background but could follow along thanks to clear instruction and step-by-step labs. The mobile and cloud forensics sessions were particularly engaging.
This course is a complete package for anyone serious about digital forensics. From FTK Imager to network traffic analysis, the hands-on tools made learning truly practical.
