FYI for anyone else that may have this thinking...

I don't particularly have any interest in Mile2, their products, or certifications, or think any of it is worthwhile at the moment.

I thought maybe I'd check out the CPTConsultant but it's only offered as a $450 self-study kit. Figured this is well under $800 for the CBT + exam (plus I had to pay shipping costs). I was successful in completing the order with the voucher but they emailed me back saying I couldn't get it.

So, now I'm just waiting for my refund

I didn't know about the one day time limit. If anyone has trouble, please PM me. As always, I'll do everything I can to fight for EH-Netters.

Congrats winners! With all of the seats being handed out, and people choosing between so many courses, I would love to hear some reviews of their training after all of you take it ( :

Has the player to be named been named yet by chance!?

@hayabusa

It is good that you took CSWAE and you'll review it.

I took CDRE (I hope they will accept it). If they do, I will review it for EH-net.

Good luck to all the students!

Whoa!  Glad I checked my email tonight (was out all day).  I thought I would have some time to think about which course I wanted to take.  (CPEH vs CPTE)  Since I only had a matter of a couple hrs to decide, I went with CPTE and registered for the exam.  I haven't looked  yet to see when I actually have to write the exam.  I see a note saying that it's currently in the process of being updated with new labs and dvd's for that course... hope that doesn't mean it's too outdated right now.

Are any of the other winners purchasing a "Course Kit" as well as the CBT course you won? 

It didn't 'appear,' anyway, that I was able to do DVD, rather than streaming.  So I chose streaming, to just get started into it, as I have some free time coming up fast.  But DVD version would've been nice.

I ALMOST emailed them, to ask if we got the deal for free course kit, for ordering video and exam by end of month - from the Banner ad on EH, all of November, and still up, this morning.     (That said, if they decide, for anyone else, that they want to do that, please let me know...  I'm never against reading materials, and have a week-long road trip coming up)

But I figured I'd be thankful for what we got (again, freebie,) and see what the training has to offer.

Haha! I guess when you pull it from the rest of the context that was with it, it does sound kind of evil. The FYI was more for the second part of that post. The part you've referenced was on a personal level. They were nice about the mix-up and refunded my money with no problems. They've also offered to add my choice of CBT to my account per the giveaway.

I don't have anything particularly against Mile2. I just don't see value in their certifications in the field at the moment. The knowledge learned from the course may certainly be worth something but I don't feel any of it will add anything to my qualifications or really be beneficial to me.

I'd much rather see this go to someone who can use it to advance their career or gain knowledge from the course. I never had them add a CBT to my account so there's no reason someone else can't have this - would hate to see it go unused.
