Thanks for the tips guys. I've seen the offensive-security.com website and I
was interested in that because it had the 'real' hands on labs and then a
certification that was very similar. It seemed to be the best for 'real
world experience' so I was actually going to take that course. 

I'll setup a test lab here and starting working away, but I appreciate the
opinions and direction. 

Thanks.

Hello,

There will likely be many opinions on the matter but a quick link or
two to help get you going, would be
http://www.offensive-security.com/  While not an easy certification to
be sure, it will likely be one of the most realistic in terms of
actually using Penetration testing tools within a realistic network
environment.
For an extensive collection of free information regarding using
metasploit and some other pentesting tools, check out
http://www.offensive-security.com/metasploit-unleashed/Metasploit_Unleashed_Information_Security_Training
as well.

Hope that gets you started.

I'm new to penetration testing and recently took the CEH. I found that it
was
pretty basic but I was wondering if people had some insight as to the
best
route to take if you wanted to be a penetration testing engineer....

Any courses/books that are mandatory that will help get me on my way, or
other opinions as to how I can get into this?

Thanks.

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can
actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT and CEPT certs require a
full practical examination in order to become certified.
