  • Question
What's the best training?

My org budgets "premium" training opportunities for IS staff every-other year and this year it's my turn. I have a couple SANS certs (GCIH, GCPN) already and while I love SANS and think they're great, would really like to diversify my skill set.

I've been looking into the possibility of training with other orgs like OffSec, Hack-the-Box, Arcanium, and Antisyphon (a personal favorite). I love HtB but feel like their certs might be too new for industry-wide recognition if I need to look for employment. I hear OffSec is fantastic but very difficult and that Arcanium is great training (but doesn't offer certs).

For those who would start with "depends on what you're looking to do...", I am looking for a mix of great training and ideally would love to add a cert or more to my resume.

I would love to get some advice from those who have experience training with those and/or other orgs please! What are your success or horror stories?

Did Not Receive CertMaster Codes for SecAI+ and CySA+

Hello @janchester27, for access to the CertMaster Perform content, an email with access code and instructions were sent out once someone finished the first session, either live or on-demand. I can go back and forward the email to you. You should see it in your inbox later today.

As for the SecAI+, I will go back to the distribution list and see what I can find. If you are not receiving the emails from CIN, you may not have received the exam voucher email. I will reach out to you directly about the voucher.
@Stephen Schneiter I had to miss Thursday's CYSA+ Session 8 for a meeting and am watching on demand now. I wanted to see if it would still be possible to get credit for attendance to receive a voucher or if it is too late? Sorry for the inconvenience. Happy Independence Day!
