ok back to computers
Formal Qualifications:

Tertiary qualified in a relevant discipline preferably Computer Science or Engineering and have above average results. (seek.com.au, 2007)

Appropriate tertiary qualifications or relevant professional experience is desirable. A Certificate IV in Government (Fraud Investigations) or equivalent, or a willingness to obtain this qualification, will be a requirement for this role. (Australian Taxation Office Homepage)

Computer science qualifications and experience in computer forensic tools such as Encase and FTK. (PPB)

says here nothing bout bachelors of forensic science but instead, computer science/ engineering so wich path shood i take
1. forensic sci.->honours>digital forensic>masters computer foresnic
2.computer science/engineering>honours>digital> masters ""

It depends on what you're most interested in. Are you more interested in computer science or forensic science? I can't help you with this because it needs to be your decision based on your interests.

If you want the opportunity to work in a forensics lab and do sample analysis then get the forensic science degree and if by that stage you still want to get in to computer forensics then get the grad cert/masters in computer forensics.

If you're more interested in computers then do the computer science degree.

It's up to you - pick whichever one you'd rather do. They'll both get you to computer forensics but it depends on what you'd like to spend 3 years studying.

uhmm monomer would you please have a look at this:
this is the graduate certificate in digital forensics
Graduate Certificate in Digital Forensics - MCCP

this is the masters in e forensics
Master of e-Forensics and Enterprise Security - MCCP

can you please look at the entry require ments for both as the graduate certificate says i need 2 years professional work experience and the masters says i need 2 years documented work or other work experience
Masters:
Plus either

a. Ten years relevant documented work or other experience, OR
b. A completed undergraduate degree plus two years documented relevant work or other experience.


Graduate
An undergraduate degree or equivalent qualification plus at least two years relevant and documented professional work experience

??? so does this mean i need 4 years of experience or i need 2 years after honours and then start graduate cert. and then! start masters showing the 2 years documented work (which was done aftrer the honours).

by the way dose 2 years documented work mean proof from the employer
or
is it actually the paper work i have done at the work place during those 2 years meaning does the work have to be showable (written on paper) and also have to be a reasonable amount for the 2 years of work?

You just need 2 years of experience. So after honours you work for 2 years in a job related to your degree and then you do the grad cert and then straight after you can do the masters.

I think the documented work experience is evidence from the employer that you worked there, like a contract or perhaps a letter. I don't think you have to show any paper work you've done; you can provide a copy of your job description (should be in your contract). When the time comes to enrol in these courses you can get more specific information on exactly what they want.

1 silly question
Who gets more pay, a CSI or a forensic scientists.

i need your help to find a course for CSI and to b a forensic scientist so i want to do both but i cant find any in melbourne or VIC

thank you

I've explained this to you before: you get paid more if you have postgraduate qualifications and plenty of experience.

A CSI is a forensic scientist. There is no separate course to be a CSI - you need to do a forensic science course and then you get a job in a forensic lab.

Maybe you'd be interested in this course:
La Trobe University - Study at La Trobe

[cyberlolz]

basicallly do i need a post grad to do CSI+fornsic science(lab work)

[Monomer]

No, you don't need post grad qualifications to do that job, but since you're so fixed on getting paid a lot of money you will need to have more than just a basic degree.

[cyberlolz]

having more than just a basic degree- meaning?-for example?

im having subjects problems for VCE
this is my choice so far:-
Methods
English
Japanese
Chemistry

Can you think of any thing that will benefit me ? i need 2 more

thank you

[Monomer]

A basic degree is a Bachelor degree without honours.

More than that would be a

• degree with honours
• graduate certificate
• Masters degree
• PhD

You don't have to do all those but at least do honours and a graduate certificate if you want more money.

If you're still interested in computer forensics then choose a computing subject. Legal Studies (or whatever it's called) could be beneficial since you'll learn about the justice system at uni.
