Hello all,
I am in the process of studing for the security+ certification.
When i pass it i am planning to learn more on web application security. So i want suggestions on certificates in that area.
From what i have searched OSCP and eJPT seem to be good options but i want a begginer cert on web app security.

Since you already looked at elearnsecurity, maybe head back there and check for their web app pentesting courses. I haven't done those specifically but I've heard they're good. Not very recognized but I don't know that many people expect a web app specific pen testing cert either.

Honestly I would get the eJPT then OSCP then OSCE.... I would avoid a web pen test certificate.In the darkest hour, there is always a way out - Eve ME3 :cool:

My aim is to get a very practical experience from the certificate i will choose.
Ideally i would want something focusing on the OWASP top 10 as i have already downloaded webgoat andtry to play around but i need structrured learning.
I don't care much about how recognisable will be the certificate. -

As others have said, eLearnSecurity has a web application course https://www.elearnsecurity.com/course/web_application_penetration_testing/. I've never done it but apparently it's not too bad. Or you could go the more expensive route and do the SANS course https://www.sans.org/course/web-app-penetration-testing-ethical-hacking. -

That is just me.... If your trying to get into web Pentesting a web pen cert is only going to cover that... Its better to get the eJPT or OSCP because the skills you gain will greatly help you more then a web pen test cert.In the darkest hour, there is always a way out - Eve ME3 :cool:
