RE: EC-Council certs

["Christian Kopacsi" <ckopacsi () cmhcm org>]

I think the CEH is pretty comparable to the security+.  As far as the ECSA goes I have been getting the run around from 
EC-Council.  They tell me that I have to attend a training course to take the ECSA exam and that their training partner 
is Intense School.  Intense School has no courses listed that mention the ECSA exam and neither EC-Council or Intense 
School has gotten back to me.  In past interviews the CEH certification raised a few eyebrows.  They really should have 
given it a more appropriate name.

Does anyone have any experience/opinion on certifications from
EC-Council?  I have been looking at some of the certs they offer, such
as the Cert Ethical Hacker, or the ECSA and was wondering if they hold
any weight in the industry or were even worth the effort. Thanks for
any advice.
