Partner with usThe industry-leading Penetration Testing with Kali Linux (PWK/PEN-200) course introduces penetration testing methodology, tools, and techniques in a hands-on, self-paced environment. Access PEN-200’s first Learning Module for an overview of course structure, learning approach, and what the course covers.
Learners who complete the course and pass the exam will earn the OffSec Certified Professional (OSCP) penetration testing certification which requires holders to successfully attack and penetrate various live machines in a safe lab environment. The OSCP is considered to be more technical than other penetration testing certifications and is one of the few that requires evidence of practical pen testing skills.
