Computer Forensic Certifications

I just thought I would share some of the certifications I have been researching for the future.

GCFA - GIAC Certified Forensics Analyst

CHFI - Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator

CISSP - Certified Information Systems Security Professional

CCE - Certified Computer Examiner

CCFT - Certified Computer Forensic Technician

EnCE - EnCase Certified Examiner

ACE - AccessData Certified Examiner

CPE - Certified ProDiscover Examiner

I have more or less decided I would go for the EnCE or ACE certification, based solely on that the majority of jobs I have seen advertised require good knowledge of either or both of these products. I am yet to see any job asking for anything else specific, but I do understand some of these certifications could give useful knowledge.

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has done either of these courses or in fact other courses who could share their views and opinions.
