If you want both knowledge and the paper, your best bet is to get the SANS Self Study option. If you try for cheaper, you'll 1) just be going for the paper and 2) risking a total loss of your investment.
From a new job perspective, you'd be better served with a CISSP or GSEC, as
those are the current filters that HR departments are using. GSEC will still be pricey. -Josh On Sat, Jul 23, 2011 at 10:24 AM, Sven Aluoor <aluoor () gmail com> wrote:

So the question must be asked: why do you want GCUX?I am a former UNIX admin. I need a valuable cert for searching a new job. Work now 4 years in Infosec, but without any cert. Was taking CISSP courses and learned quite a lot, but the exam is to "management" oriented for me.If it's for the knowledge, then you should take the course. If it's forthecertification, we can't answer your question unless we know why you wantthecertification.I need both the knowledge and the paper. But don't have so much budget. cheers Sven _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom () mail pauldotcom com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
