I have taken the Certified Pen Testing Specialist course from Mile2 and
thought it was very beneficial. Also please take into account that I am
very green in this field, so I had a basic knowledge of pen testing, but
nothing to the extent that was covered. The instructor was excellent in
that he didn't just follow the book and read back the material. He would
cover the same object in the chapter, but would show the actual
practical application of the procedure. There was a test available at
the course completion, but I haven't taken this as of yet. I was more
interested in the material and knowledge, than getting a piece of paper.
I feel I need more experience to show earn the paper and prove I know
what I am doing instead of cramming from a book. Take it for what you
will, but that is just my opinion.

Hello All,
I just had a quick question pertaining to Penetration Testing
Certifications. Has anyone taken or heard much about Mile2 Training?
They provide two training courses/certifications "Certified Penetration
Tester Specialist" (CPTS) & "Certified Penetration Tester Expert"
(CPTE). I was wondering what others in the field thought of these
courses/certifications. They don't seem to be widely recognized yet,
but (is that going to change)? I took the CEH course a few years ago
and was thoroughly disappointed with the content and the course all
together. I was wondering if Mile2 was different.
Any comments/suggestions?
Thanks,
Sparky
