Re: Mile2 Training (Certifications)

["Lee Haynes" <lee () carleeprotection com>]

Sparky,

I just want to add my opinion to the debate!!!!!

I am currently studying through the CEH syllabus using the CBT videos of career
academy on behalf of Mile2.com by Ken Mayer, and I am attending the CSTA course
in February this year and am finding the videos along with my own home built lab
a great learning tool.

> From a personal note I can watch the disk, learn the concept behind what is
being said the review the manuals and slides then try the exercise in my lab, be
it inserting a back door through Metaspoilt or running a scan on my network,
enumerating through null sessions what ever, I think that because I am dyslexic
and have an issue with academics this is a great way to learn and when I attend
my course at least I like many newbie’s will have a better understanding what
the instructor will be saying.

It may not work for every body but what do you have to lose, you can get VMware
software, OS and videos of eBay for a cheaper price if you buy them from an eBay
power sellers like I did, then build the lab, install the software, run the
disks, print of the manuals and pen test until you are blue in the face.

With regards to training schools every person will have their own opinion when I
decided to go with the training people I am going with; I called different
traing centres and schools,  got their feedback reviewed the sight and made an
informed decision from their.

Good luck with your training.
