WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS COURSE?

Did you know penetration testers’ average salary is $71,929?* And this career is in one of the fastest-growing job markets.

Whether you’re looking to pass the CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam, take your next step in the CompTIA Cybersecurity Pathway, or you’re just looking to learn some awesome ethical hacking skills, you’re in the right place.

Keep in mind there’s much more to being an ethical hacker than what’s covered here, including how to secure a network, however this course focuses on how to be a pen tester. A pen tester plans and scopes a pen test engagement with a client, finds vulnerabilities, exploits them to get into a network, then reports on those findings to the client.

This course shows you how to:

  • Use the tools you’ll need to scan networks, crack passwords, analyze and intercept traffic, discover code vulnerabilities, and compromise resources
  • Recognize vulnerabilities within a system, run exploits, and suggest solutions to a client to remediate the weak points
  • Work within a virtual environment to practice your pen testing skills, including using Oracle VM manager, Kali Linux, Metasploitable, and DVWA
  • Scope, plan, and execute a pen test engagement from start to finish

Penetration testing and information security is one of the fastest-growing job categories according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It predicts that roles requiring these skills will see 28 percent overall growth by 2026.

COMPTIA PENTEST+ VS. EC-COUNCIL CEH CERTIFICATIONS

The CompTIA PenTest+ is your quickest and most cost-effective route to a pen testing certification

The PenTest+ includes the latest mobile and cloud penetration testing skills, including IoT, as well as traditional desktop & server systems (CEH covers only traditional desktop & server systems)

The PenTest+ better matches employer needs by covering not just technical topics, but also business processes, project flow, best practices, and professionalism in pen testing (CEH is strictly technical)

The PenTest+ exam voucher costs $349 (compared to the CEH $1150 non-member plus application fee)

Take a look at these student reviews:

***** “This is an excellent course!! Even in earlier chapters, the instructor gets you going on sample exercises to chop up the theoretical content a little, which always helps. With a course like this, hands-on is everything. I also appreciate that the theoretical parts are NOT TOO LONG AT ONCE!! Total Seminars did a fantastic job of breaking the content up in just the right places. LOVE this course!” – Chris N

***** “Amazing. Well Explained. Detail description for all the fundamental terms.” – Nisarg T

***** “Instruction was excellent. Including notes as resources was a big help! I reviewed the notes while watching the videos and I think that is really going to help me with information retention. The instructor used real-world examples to demonstrate points. Overall, I feel confident I can pass the test after studying the materials and doing the exercises the instructor emphasizes. The instructor also highlighted several key points to study for the exam for maximum preparation.” – Tim W

***** “This is what I was hoping for and it’s much more upbeat than most of the lulling video series’ I’ve seen before.” – John G

***** “This course covers everything in the approved CompTIA PenTest+ certification test. The presenter knows his stuff, has done real work pentests and does a good job of showing off the tools you’ll be quizzed on and how to manipulate and analyze the results. Highly recommend this for anyone with Security+ that is looking to specialize as a pentester. Great place to start!” – Casey D

***** “Very well thought out course. The instructor is very knowledgeable, and the course is laid out in a great way! A lot of time was put into this and it shows!” – Luke P
