Hello guys.
First of all sorry for any grammar mistakes (im not english).
So...I finished school this year and Im thinking about taking a course that gives me 6 certifications (yes, 6...). I learned most things from Cybrary (Network+ and Penetration Testing...), I also know Python and C.
But...Am I ready for such challengue? The course is really expensive...so Im kinda scary...

Certifications:
MTA Security Fundamentals
CompTIA Security+
EC-Council CEH
CPTE
Mor Certification
CRE

I was pleasantly surprised when I looked up that program actually. Looks pretty decent.

That being said you can self-study a lot of those materials/exams such as Sec+ using professor messer/darrill gibson materials, CEH using other materials or even elearnsecurity materials as an alternative for some hands on labbing, the other certs look like kind of a mixed bag to me.

I'd probably choose my own cert/education path rather than being forced into one that you might not have chosen if not packaged all up for you. I don't see any savings/deal with going with this course.

Advice: Continue with cybrary and your self-studying and take the certs that you want to take to validate your skills/knowledge.
