I recently took the OS101 course (now called "Pentesting with BackTrack") and passed the OSCP exam.  I have to say, this is by far the best security training I have taken, and likely the best technical training I have taken.  I have come away with much more knowledge than I started with, an understanding of concepts that were previously very obscure to me, and a feeling like the knowledge I have justifies me having the certification (I could compare it to another course I've taken and cert I hold, but I'd rather be nice).

Thanks to the Offensive Security staff for putting together an INCREDIBLE course!  I would not hesitate to recommend this course to ANYONE trying to get into technical security and penetration testing.

Thanks xXxKrisxXx,

I've been around for a while, but haven't really participated (often just don't have time).  I'll attempt to contribute some useful input.  Thanks again for the congrats.

Kind regards,

Thanks Dark_Knight.  The feeling is mutual.

Reviving dead threads is not generally a good idea. but since you re here, the OSCP is not for beginners. Look into the elearnsecurity course.
