I took the Postgraduate Certificate in Digital Forensics at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a solid experience. The course covered a lot of ground, from digital evidence collection to forensic analysis and reporting. I appreciated the fact that the instructors were all experienced professionals in the field, and they shared some really valuable insights and war stories. The course materials were also pretty good, although I did find some of the videos to be a bit dry at times. One thing that really stood out to me was the emphasis on practical skills - we got to work with some industry-standard tools and software, which was great for getting hands-on experience. Overall, I'd say the course was worth it, but it wasn't without its flaws. Still, I learned a lot and feel more confident in my ability to investigate digital crimes.
