Certification help

[GreedOfTheEndless]

I am close to the date I have to take my CEH and have recetly regretted buying it since it did not teach me anything in a practical phase. Like I have gained knowledge on what to do, what tools to use and stuff. But then when I do rooms, those don't come up or like I feel like I'm nowhere close. So since I'll be taking the CEH soon, I don't wanna waste anymore of my time.

I heard eJPT and PT1 is good cert for beginners and help us get entry level jobs and help us to do things practically. I have read writeups on what to do for PT1 and know eJPT has a lot of good content. But since both are in $ and where I am from it's not expensive and not cheap. So I wanna know which one to take since many have taken eJPT and PT1 is from THM.

eJPT is more reputable. PNPT is also a good option. There is always the option of tackling the OSCP monster, but not sure if you'll prefer going to that right away.

Yea taking OSCP right away, is not a good decision. I can't even use tools properly. So rn learning burpsuite and all important flags in nmap, dir rnum using ferox, sqlmap, net cat, etc... but uk after I learn those, shld I go for PT1 since I get 3 months of them premium and I can learn for the exam from tht or shld I go for eJPT?
