I am new to the field and trying to get a jumpstart on my learning by attending a training course.  The two prominent courses I have come across are the SANS 610 course (http://www.sans.org/security-training/reverse-engineering-malware-malware-analysis-tools-and-techniques-54-mid) and the InfoSec Institute RE course (http://www.infosecinstitute.com/courses/reverse_engineering_training.html).  

Both offer certifications...I'm wondering if anyone has experience or info about the worth of these (or any other) courses.  I have pulled together several references and tools to learn on my own, but I am hoping to supplement my start with some organized training.  Any suggestions/opinions are welcome :)

Thanks!
