Everything you need to know about the OSCP+

OffSec is announcing some updates to the OSCP exam which, effective November 1, 2024, will result in the addition of a “+” designation for newly certified OSCP holders. That means, upon passing the exam, you’ll receive two certifications: OSCP+ and OSCP. 

The OSCP+ certification will differ from the existing OSCP certification in only one way–it will expire three (3) years from issuance, whereas your OSCP certification does not expire. If you allow your OSCP+ to expire, you will still have your OSCP.

Individuals who currently hold an OSCP certification, who pass the OSCP exam before November 1, 2024, or who decide not to maintain an OSCP+ certification after it expires, will have their OSCP certification remain valid for life. Their credential remains a valuable and respected indicator of their skills and knowledge. While it doesn’t carry the + designation, the OSCP certification still represents a strong foundation in cybersecurity.
