Certification advice

Hi All,
I was wondering for Ethical and penetration certification information sites and i found this site. I started my career with Software testing, after that i got a chance to work in Security companies. Currently i am working vulnerability assessment product testing. I have good understanding on windows,unix,linux and network techs.
I want to build my career in security area.I found some good certification like GSEC,CEH,CISSP and SSCP.
Could any body please advice me which certification is better to get into penetration testing?
Cheers,
MCP

how can you complete the certification progress, if you can't find a training center near you? (let's say you 're from a country in europe?)

you can take certification tests in Europe. i sat for my CISSP in belgium, its doable. there are also several prometric and vue centers in the bigger cities. now if you live in iceland, it might be harder.

If your desire to do it is strong enough, you can do it without a training center. Every cert is doable via the self-study route. It's harder and takes more discipline, but many do it. Plus, you'll save yourself a lot of money.
Plus... you have us to help.

I confirm that you can take certification tests in Europe.
I am from Eastern Europe, and I can take almost any type of certification exam, e.g. CEH, CISSP, SSCP, Security+ etc.
The big minus will be if you want to take the training center route, there are many of them but the experience of the instructors is not as valuable as the one from the instructors from the western Europe. But if you really want a certification, as Chris already stated, it's doable.
I earned my Security+ via self study, now I am taking the OS-101 course, and in spring I will go for the CEH, all via self study.
This site is a valuable resource for any one who is new to the Security field, and I have to admit that this site and the members of the forum changed the path of my career.
