About CompTIA PenTest+
CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) is an intermediate-level certification that validates the skills required to plan, scope, execute, and report on penetration testing engagements. It is vendor-neutral, hands-on, and aligned with the latest offensive security techniques used by professionals in the field.

This course walks you through every phase of a penetration test — from pre-engagement planning and reconnaissance to exploitation, post-exploitation, and professional report writing. You'll work with industry-standard tools like Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nmap, and Kali Linux while learning how to perform web application, network, and wireless assessments.

PenTest+ bridges the gap between Security+ and advanced certifications like OSCP. Upon completion, you'll be equipped for roles such as Penetration Tester, Vulnerability Analyst, and Red Team Associate. It also fulfills DoD 8570 IAT/CND certification requirements, making it highly valued in government and enterprise environments.

Excellent hands-on pentesting coverage

PenTest+ gave me a structured approach to penetration testing that I was lacking. The labs using Metasploit and Burp Suite were incredibly practical and directly applicable to real engagements.

Great bridge between Security+ and OSCP

This course filled the gap I needed between Security+ and advanced offensive security. The reporting module especially helped me land my first role as a vulnerability analyst.

Solid vendor-neutral pentesting certification

The course is comprehensive and well-structured. I appreciated that it covers both technical exploitation and the business side of penetration testing including report writing.

Cleared exam on first attempt

The practice exams were extremely close to the actual PT0-003 exam. The instructor's tips on PBQ questions were invaluable. Cleared it first attempt with a great score.
