These are my personal opinions based on my background and training experience.
Of all the training listed on this site, this was the very first, and what started me on the journey that I am on today. I also obtained the OSCP before other certifications listed on this site.
I joined right after getting my OSCP and apparently right after they went live. I loved the PDF materials and the lab machines reminded me of PWK and brought back some of those memories and excitement of getting 'root' on a box.
Forgot about this one too. And while I don't plan to review this one, I signed up, logged in, and worked a few of the boxes (if my memory serves me correctly). I do recall there was something I wasn't happy with at the time, but this was so long ago that I am sure whatever it was has been changed.
Not really a course, and not reviewed on this site, but I signed up, logged in, signed up for VIP and have loved every single minute of it. They do an amazing job!
I signed up for a bundle deal and got PTP and WAPT at the same time. I believe I went through these slides first. When the upgrade came out, I purchased it, and went through the slides. I even opted for the upgrade to the class when it was released. I plan to finish this course soon!

I got this at either the same time I got the PTP/WAPT deal or shortly thereafter. I started going through these slides and may have finished them. I plan to finish this course soon!
The company I was working for at the time sent me to this course. I learned new ways of doing things, and I also noticed I lacked some knowledge which led me to the next set of classes. I also remember going through the eLearnSecurity courses I had purchased after this course, and based off timing it was probably the PTP upgrade and the WAPT upgrade.
I signed up for this course, paid out of pocket for it, and had a great experience. But I still felt a gap of knowledge was missing after my time in the lab ran out.
Enter Pentester Academy's Red Team Labs. I can never speak highly enough about these Pentester Academy courses. The amount of knowledge I learned from all of them is priceless. I started with the Windows Red Team Lab, and put too much time in going through slides and videos and not enough in the actual lab.
My time ended in the Windows Red Team Lab, and I really felt I needed some more time and practice with the Active Directory and PowerShell topics. Again, I can't speak highly enough about these Pentester Academy courses.
This was a spur of the moment purchase. It was released, and I jumped at the chance to get it at a discount. Plus, there was talk of maybe getting the employer to pay for Offensive Security's Cracking the Perimeter. So I grabbed this and started going through the slides, and I still pull them up every so often and go through them. I plan to finish this course soon!
When I got the e-mail that about this course, I was so excited. And this was by far the most complex, most fun course I have taken to date. Again, I can't speak highly enough about these Pentester Academy courses.
I signed up for this about a month after I signed up for GCB, and at a time I thought I was going to have to end GCB half way through the materials. I think at times I was working Offshore and GCB at the same time, just different hours of the same day.
I ended Offshore on a high note, some people at work were talking about RastaLabs, and I jumped in and had a bad experience... I revisited it, and had a better experience, just need to jump back in and complete it. I plan to finish this course soon!
I signed up for this course because I was not able to afford Offensive Security's Cracking the Perimeter, and I knew the course would be good, but I didn't expect to learn as much as I did.
My current employer agreed to send me to this course after several of my co-workers 'went to bat for me' and got my bosses to agree to this. I found out about going a few days after signing up for Attacking Active Directory with Linux.
One of the guys in my k>fivefour - Red Team Journeyman™ Course (RTJC) highly recommended this course, so I signed up. I have gone through a few of the videos, but will be going through it in depth soon. I plan to finish this course soon!
I had exactly 15 days before my new lab time for my upgrade to Offensive Security - Advanced Web Attacks and Exploitation (AWAE) started, and this sounded so cool. I really short changed myself with such a quick experience, and I regret that.
I signed up for the upgrade, and it has been well worth the $99 that I paid.
I ended RastaLabs, and I moved stright in to Cybernetics and had a wonderful experience!! This is a great straight forward labs. I didn't encounter any crazy tricks and challeneges. Just a pure fun red team operator training lab.
The ability to custom build tools that evade A/V became a critically needed skill when I started Hack The Box's RastaLabs, and was again needed when I started Hack The Box's Cybernetics. I only see this skill becoming more and more critical as time passes. I was looking to dive deeper in to the programming part of this game, and a co-worker highly recommended this class. I signed up and finally got around to finishing the course, and I am glad I did.
This course builds upon Sektor7's RED TEAM Operator: Malware Development Essentials Course, and while I still had the first course fresh on my mind, I jumped in head first.
I just signed up for Dante. I took advantage of the year end discount and signed up. I have no clue what the new year will bring, and didn't want to jump in to APTLabs like I originally planned, so I went ahead and signed up for Dante (hoping it won't be as intense as APTLAbs).
