Who Should Attend?
Frequently Asked Questions
Beginners to intermediate learners who want a structured path into penetration testing/red teaming—students, freshers, IT/network admins, SOC analysts, QA/Dev folks, and security enthusiasts aiming for hands-on offensive security roles.
Basic computer/networking familiarity helps, but it’s not mandatory. We start with fundamentals and ramp up to advanced exploitation. If you know basic Linux/Windows commands and TCP/IP, you’re good.
Kali Linux, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, Nikto, Dirbuster/Gobuster, Metasploit, SQLMap, John/Hashcat, BloodHound/SharpHound, Impacket, Responder, CrackMapExec, PowerShell, Python basics, and custom scripts. We also discuss common exploit frameworks and public PoCs responsibly.
Yes—content prepares you for popular cert paths like eJPT, PNPT, OSCP (foundational prep), and CEH (practical). We provide a study map and practice guidance, but exam vouchers are not included unless specified for your batch.
Live, instructor-led sessions with guided labs, challenges, and capstone projects. Every module has practice tasks and review. Recordings are provided for enrolled learners.
Total learning time is typically ~60 hours (can be adjusted per batch). Sessions are scheduled on weekday evenings or weekends; final calendar is shared post-enrolment.
Yes—curated labs and CTF-style challenges are provided. You’ll also learn how to set up safe local labs using pre-built VMs and intentionally vulnerable targets.
