cyber security certification/training suggestions for beginners?

UnixGuy

I figured some of my information is outdated as there are numerous new providers. I'm trying to compile a list of cert suggestions for beginners in various specialisation and could use your help!

1) Pentesting

Cyber Mentor certifications / training

eLearnSecurity eJPT

SANS GPEN (although not something I'd recommend, the price can't justify the value with this one)

2) SOC analyst / incident response, etc

CompTIA CySA+

eLearnsecurity incident handler

SANS GCIH

3) GRC

Tough one, maybe Security+ for beginners but what else for people with no experience?

SANS GSEC ? again can't justify the price

4) AppSec

No idea

5) General InfoSec

Security+

Keen to hear your thoughts. I think there's a gap for GRC for beginners.

would appreciate your suggestions/inputs

Look at ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity... free course (14h I think) and exam for a limited time. 

Look at TCM Security too.. a lot of cybersecurity certs for a low price. I dont have them yet, but I heard good thing about it.

Thanks Steve, I did see TCM stuff which looked awesome. I know people who did his pentest stuff and they seem to be of good quality

For App Sec - portswigger.net would be a good start. 
Maybe add Cloud - CCSK/CCAK, SANS GCLD to start with - even AWS CP/Azure Fundamentals
Maybe for GRC - ISO 27001 Lead Auditor/Implementor? or that new NIST Cyber Sec Pro cert recently come out.
