Since half of the year is already over... how is everyone progressing with their certification goals?

I've been swamped with stuff but began a six week class via Stanford

CISSP ISSAP done

This week I am doing SANS 504 - Incident handling (I will write a review when I'll finish it)

OSCP still to come

For the second half of 2012:  probably I'll try to pass GPEN. I would love to do a course in mobile security and/or intrusion detection. I still try to come up with the budget for one of them.

I was also thinking about the Corelan training, but I don't know if I can apply the knowledge in the real world (and... If you don't use it you'll lose it  ).

If Offensive Security will have an online version for their web course I'll do it. If not... probably next year in the Caribbeans.

@awesec - cool

I also forgot that I registered for the python course - SPSE but I really didn't had the time to go further than the first 3 videos. This one also is on my short list. 

GWAPT and OSWP are down. I'll hopefully do OSCP and GCIA by the end of the summer. I recently started a new job and will be moving, so things have been on hold for a bit.


I may start this or OSCE later in the year if I can get everything else wrapped up.

Ok, I'm late to this part but here goes.

Until three months ago I had no college experience and zero certs. The college will likely never come but I've been going all out on certs and have acquired my GCFA, CCFE, CHFI, CUCE (a mobile device forensics cert) and ACE. My plan for the rest of the year is to take my A+ test at the end of August, spend September and October prepping for and taking my Network +, spending November prepping for my sec +, taking the InfoSec Ethical Hacking course where I'll grab my CEH and CPT and then taking my Sec+ test right after that.

It will be a crazy few months and very costly but I'm having a blast learning. I'm really proud of what I've accomplished so far and looking forward to the next few months.

I've been playing with computers my whole life but never did much with networking. I'm grabbing those three not to try to get a job but to make sure I have the baseline material for the "real" certs I plan on taking. Those 3 are 100% for me and my general knowledge level so I'm trying to knock them out asap.

Aww, I did miss this topic. Earlier this year I passed CCNA and CCNA Security. Now I am looking at some pentest course, OSWP/OSCP/eCPPT. Not sure yet which ones I gonna take, all have pro's and con's. The only one I know for sure is OSCP but I have to schedule some holidays then haha.

Later this year I have to do Prince2 Foundation and TMAP Next Test Engineer. As you can imagine they are not my favorite ones so I have to throw a pentest cert in it to keep myself happy.
