Hi everyone!

I don't know what I want to achieve by saying my current situation regarding OSCP, maybe I'm looking for advices, help or only want to share my frustration. Anyway, here is my story:

Two weeks ago I pre-registered for one of the courses starting next week. The day after, I received an email with the instructions about how to proceed, so I filled out the requested form with all my data. Two days passed and I had no furthers news, so I contacted them to know what was going on. They said that my registration process had been cancelled because I (quoting) "provided information from 3 different countries". What they mean (I guess) is that in the pre-registration I selected as "Country" the one of my nationality, later in the 2nd stage of the registration in my address I gave a different country (it's where I'm currently living) and in the email used the one from my university (which it's in a third different country). I replied them back explaining all this I'm describing, but haven't had more news from them. They just cut off all communication with me, I tried to pre-register once again and didn't receive any email.

So I guess I won't have the chance to take any training or certification from Offensive Security any more.

They are selective and if you provide them with inconsistent information like you have then they simply refuse training.

Mambru,

I can understand your frustration, but like others I can understand why OffSec are taking the route that they are, given the nature of the material they teach they will need to protect themselves and be cautious.

From my experience communication from them can be sporadic and slow at times so depending on timescales I won't take it to heart yet. Assuming you are legit (no disrespect meant, don't know either way) try to catch one of their guys in the irc forum (#offsec), found it the quickest way to get an immediate response.

I agree with Andrew.  I would not take it to heart as they may be just moving very slowly.  Give his IRC suggestion a try...that may be your best bet IMO.

Oops, cheers for the catch Dale. I could have sworn I'd mentioned that....

Thanks awesec.

I should update the status of my story. I managed to contact some people in the IRC channel and received some advises, and established contact again with the people of orders dept. After they made some checkings on my info, finally yesterday I was told that I've been booked for starting on November 8th.

So at the end everything worked well and I'm very eager to start with the training. Hope to have more good news to share about the course in the next months.
 

Good to hear, have fun with the course.
