    Hi Petr

    You already have the basic knowledge of pen-testing, therefore I
    would recommed you need to be very selective on the course you
    attend, as the majority are script kiddie based, point and click
    stuff.

    From our experience at BT, you need a combination of advanced
    hands-on skill and conceptual security knowledge. Again from our
    experience we have worked closely with the Security Associates
    Institute and their Certifed Security Associate program, and have 13
    certified CSA experts at BT. Check out the link:

    http://www.securityassociate.org/csa.pdf

    But this is only half the picture, you really need to combine this
    with a conceptual course such as the CISSP.
