RE: Online training for pentest and forensics

I whole heartedly agree with Mustafa.  I could have not said any better. 
Although, I will say I am a fan of the eLearning and Backtrack camps 
(specifically).

Thanks,

There are many new kids in town. Some are doing good like eLearnSecurity but 
some are only playing tricks. They do make a security news website, spend 
weeks in promoting on social networks and forums and then introduce their own 
ninja PenTest courses. Be aware of them.

I would recommend you to go for no one else but SANS or OffenSive Security. 
They are the leaders. OSCP is highly fine grained course. Do spend your money 
on worthy stuff. And don't go for EC-Council stuff.
EC-Council certs aren't worthy enough from practical skills perspective. 
Offensive Security certs do return you a lot more hands on skills then 
EC-Council.

If you want to just shine before the HR and Recruiting People then CEH is a 
good shot but it doesn't return anything worthy for the cost.
