Agreed. Many people, especially on Security-Basics, inquire about 
security training and certifications. There are several long threads on 
this list that discuss certifications in detail, so I was prepared to 
return the original post to the sender and point him to the archives... 
however, he appeared to be looking for some location-specific training 
(I believe it was West Coast USA?), so I let the post through.

For all followups on this thread, can everyone please try to keep to 
location-specific information? There is already some very good 
information on certifications in ths archives, which can be found by 
clicking on the following (massive) link:
