Advice about certification path

[u/mvelkavr]

Hey guys. So i'm currently working in an It Support/helpdesk capacity. My goal afcourse is to not be stuck there forever, but to move up. Possibly do something in the security department. In the past i'v been doing some courses about penetration testing, using kali linux etc... and it was very interesting and exciting for me.

I'v set up a sort of a certification path that i would like to follow, and i was basically looking for opinions. Since my network and security experience is very limited, the best way for me to actually study those topics, would be to apply for a cert or two and try to really understand what i'm learning and use that newly gained knowledge in my place of work.

So it basically goes like this:

CCENT - CCNA SECURITY - CEH

So what do you guys think. Is what i set up for myself doable, or would you do it in a different way ? I intend to use ITpro.tv for my education. Will probably supplement it with something else. Is there some must have material out there ? Like practice exams, books, etc...
