I took ISI's CEH/CPT as well and I like them, I have also taken TC courses. Both are good, my only gripe with ISI is their prices do not include lodging, which can substantially increase the cost of your training program. I cant really comment on the partner status, but somehow I doubt it will make much of a difference.

I already read your review, don.  Very well done.  I don't doubt that the program at Training Camp is better (because of the (ISC)2 affiliation), but whether or not it's $2000 of my own money better.  I find TC course prices a bit excessive regardless, even in non-(ISC)2 courses.

The time difference in when the courses run here in Chicago is negligible, and ISI schedules their courses so that day 7 of the course is the day of the (ISC)2 exam, so there's no waiting to take it after the course.

I think I'm pretty much already decided, since it's out of pocket money.  If I was using company money, it would be a no-brainer where I would go .. sigh

SephStorm,

Just curious, how long did it take to get your results when you submitted your CPT Practical exam?

Thanks

Just a follow up for some unknown reason, but I went ahead and took the CISSP exam on Apr 21, 2012 despite the fact that InfoSec Institute canceled my boot camp just 5 days before it was to start.  I was already studying, but was looking at ISI to put it all together right before the exam. 

Oh well, the test was brutal and I have NO clue how I did on it.  Just waiting for results now.

Have you gotten the results yet?

Fingers crossed,
Don

That waiting is TORTURE. Best of luck.

Thanks.  The waiting is nearly as brutal as the exam.  It's been a month and a day and I still haven't heard anything.  Technically, I guess they have like 10 more days to let me know, but the good news is, I shouldn't have to wait more than 10 more days to find out.  I'm fairly certain of the results, but I don't want to commit to the next exam on the odd chance I passed.  We shall see. shrug
