Thanks Corey/Adrian,
From what you both say-the theoretical approach is more CompTIA's bag.
However, I learn better when there is more hands on/break things and fix them type activity, so this has me leaning more towards the GSEC. I know that being an online course will make it a bit harder but from what I've read/heard, everyone still gains from this format. I take on board what you said about the mcse and CompTIA though, Adrian. I know that even where I work at the moment we're going to have more opportunity to get into Linux/UNIX type scenarios, so it would be good to have a grounding in that.

Security+ is more theory and administration oriented whereas GSEC is more hands on and covers that stuff. I'm Security+ certified and have looked at an old GSEC book. I would say go for the GSEC.

I'm being allocated some of the company's mandatory training budget and wanted people's experience/views on the differences of the two courses that I'm sourcing: CompTIA Security+(in class) SANS Security essentials bootcamp(online) Has anyone done both(unlikely, methinks) and which one would be (slightly) more Windows-centric? Also, which one would be more suited to a network admin who wants to head more in the security direction. Kind Regards Murad Talukdar
