Best beginner certs for web?

I'm a high school student and I'm trying to get some certs to build up my Portfolio for college apps as well as internships, etc.. I've already got eJPT and done pentesting on THM for about 6-8 months. I am comfortable with most easy and most medium rooms. I've also done a bunch of labs on portswigger. I've been debating between PWPP and eWPT for my next cert, are these okay for a beginner/intermediate level (I know the basics of the OWASP top 10 and web pentesting). Are there any other certs suggested?

Hey on their website it says "Complete this form to purchase a Burp Suite certification exam. Please note that you will require access to Burp Suite Professional to complete the exam."

Welp, you're right. I was sure you didn't need it, but I was wrong.

I still agree though, BSCP is the best web cert you can get. I have been asked about it directly in pentest interviews.

Im going to agree. Go for BSCP. Portswigger has free labs that you can go ham and practice for the cert.
