Hi,

The OSSTMM certifications (see www.isecom.org) were designed to prove 
ability- working knowledge that lets you hit the ground running.  In 
Europe, a few colleges and universities offer the training as a means to 
give students practical experience.  Some of the big consultancies also use 
it as part of their new employee training program.  If you're looking to 
prove yourself, it's a very good way to get hands-on experience and a 
certification that proves you know what you're doing. At least check into it.

Sincerely,
-pete.
