are those lessons from PC WORLD about hacking any good? - mrhack - Sep 7, 2016
There are courses for hacking costing about $49. I wonder if that could lead to getting me certified? Where do I get certified? Is there a "board of examination for ethical hackers" so that way in case I want a job with an agency I can prove that I am a certified ethical hacker?

Get your CREST certification.
That allows you to be apart of the CRESt group and that will verify you as an ethical hacker.
I'm working on mine now.

Don't take those courses, lol.
There are some good paid options for them, but honestly http://cybrary.it/ has free courses that are designed to get certain certifications. Save your money and use it to pay for the certifications.

PC World is selling courses for about $49 for the Ethical Hacking course. Did you check out their website? I can't post links right now. How much do certifications cost? Is CREST "accredited" and not just some random online company giving out paper towel certifications (i.e. useless, etc.). I would assume if one is a master at hacking, no certification would even matter. LOL. But just in case I need to become a government employee and need something to show for (like certifications, etc.).

Good call and thanks!
But aren't those community college associate degrees also good (to get a career or hired any way)?
