Penetration Tester (X-PT) is a hands-on programme designed to build real engagement capability, not just tool familiarity. You will learn how to plan and run a structured test, gather evidence responsibly, and communicate findings in a way that stakeholders can act on.
Delivered through mentor-led sessions, the course uses practical scenarios that mirror real client engagements. You will practise reconnaissance, enumeration, vulnerability validation, and controlled exploitation within safe lab environments, while maintaining professional standards of scope control and documentation.
Over four days, you will produce a client-style report pack and a repeatable workflow you can take into junior penetration testing or security assessment roles. Aligned with recognised best practices including ISO, GDPR, NIST and SOC 2, ensuring skills remain practical and deployable in real organisations. All prices are exclusive of VAT (where applicable). Group enrolments and custom packages available.
