Penetration testing is performed by purposefully carrying out a cyber-attack on an organisation’s computer systems in order to gauge the effectiveness of that company’s IT security measures.

The CompTIA PenTest+ certification is a highly sought-after, hands-on course that teaches networking and security professionals to perform these tests in their own organisations.

This certification is the final step towards the CompTIA Network Vulnerability Assessment Professional (CNVP) or Network Security Professional (CNSP) certifications. It will also bring you a step closer to gaining the CompTIA Security Infrastructure Expert (CSIE) certification.

Why study online?

Many students prefer online study to conventional classroom-based learning as it provides them with the freedom to learn at their own pace, and in an environment in which they are comfortable.

Online study material can also be viewed and revised as many times as the student needs, which contributes to long-term memory retention. These factors, in addition to the fact that online training courses are often more cost-effective than the on-site alternative, make online study an appealing option to students today.

Anyone with an interest in performing penetration testing on their organisation's IT security systems.

There are no prerequisites, however, it is recommended that you gain your CompTIA Network+ and CompTIA Security+ certifications before studying this course.
