Hey Sparky, :)

They offer 3 courses, for penetration testing,

CPTP - Certified Pen-Testing Professional
CPTS - Certified Pen-testing Specialist
CPTE - Certified Pen-testing Expert

CPTP is almost CEH content... 
CPTS & CPTE is believed to be "okay?!" than CEH.

I'd recommend you ISECOM or SANS stuff...

Better to take up a GIAC certification [GCIH] or 
ISECOM [OPSA / OPST], since they're new and they're
tough to pass.

If you asked me, frankly, these certs are of no use,
unless we want to climb the corporate ladder
consistently and impress our clients ;))

Cheers :)
Kish
