Total: CompTIA PenTest+ v3

   Watch Promo

The PenTest+ is designed for security professionals who want to prove their ability to plan, conduct, analyze, and report on penetration tests across networks, applications, wireless systems, cloud environments, and more. This course provides a step-by-step framework for every stage of the penetration testing process, supported by hands-on labs, demonstrations, and practice quizzes aligned with the official exam objectives.

For aspiring cybersecurity professionals, mastering PenTest+ is not only a certification milestone but also a direct path to building real-world offensive security skills. It bridges the gap between entry-level certifications like Security+ and advanced credentials like OSCP or CISSP, helping you develop the confidence to take on red team or penetration testing roles.

Key Learning Areas:

  1. Planning & Engagement – Learn how to define scope, rules of engagement, compliance requirements, and set up safe lab environments.
  2. Reconnaissance & Scanning – Perform active and passive reconnaissance, utilizing tools such as Nmap and Wireshark, and analyze vulnerabilities effectively.
  3. Exploitation Techniques – Gain hands-on experience with network, wireless, web, cloud, and specialized system attacks, including SQL injection, XSS, MITM, and container exploits.
  4. Social Engineering & Physical Attacks – Practice phishing, pretexting, credential harvesting, and physical security testing techniques.
  5. Post-Exploitation & Reporting – Learn persistence, stealth, and segmentation testing, then craft professional pentest reports with actionable recommendations.
  6. Tools & Scripting – Explore Kali Linux, Metasploit, credential tools, wireless frameworks, Python/PowerShell/Bash scripting, and breach simulation tools.

By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to sit for the CompTIA PenTest+ exam (PT0-003) with confidence - and more importantly, you’ll have the practical offensive security skills to succeed in penetration testing and red team roles.
