I would suggest that you consider getting a degree or at least a 2 year technical college certificate. Experience is hard to prove but a degree is something that a company can put a finger on and know that at least you sat through the courses.

As the one user posted.. the C|EH exam is offered by EC-Council
If you are new to security and networking then the CompTIA +exams are a good place to start.
There are several SANS.org courses you can take and then take the exam. They have many good courses but they are not for beginners.. it is “learning by firehose”.
If you are interested in Information Security then the de facto standard in certifications is the CISSP and SSCP from isc2.org No serious information security professional is without a CISSP.
The Cisco certifications start with the CCNA and you can work your way up to CCDP or CCNP and then onto a CCIE or a CCSP. These are focused on routers and networking and the last one I mentioned deals with Cisco Security.
As one person suggested it doesn’t hurt to have a 4 year degree, as most big companies will not talk to you if you do not have them.. however I have found that there is more meaning in the certifications and even more meaning in having hands-on experience to back those certs up… else you be accused of being a “paper-cert” which means you have the cert but it is meaningless.
Good Luck
