CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) is the industry’s comprehensive intermediate certification for penetration testing. This course begins with engagement management, teaching you compliance frameworks, legal concepts, scoping, and professionalism. These essentials establish the discipline needed to carry out ethical and effective penetration testing engagements.
From there, the learning path moves into reconnaissance and enumeration, with techniques like DNS recon, Nmap, and cloud discovery. You’ll explore vulnerability scanning, data storage flaws, and physical attacks before advancing into exploitation topics including password cracking, social engineering, SQL injection, XSS, SSRF, wireless threats, and advanced areas such as container and virtualization vulnerabilities.
The final modules emphasize post exploitation with tools like Mimikatz, BloodHound, and PowerShell Empire. You’ll learn privilege escalation, persistence, and detection avoidance while practicing structured reporting and remediation recommendations. By the end, you will be fully prepared for the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) exam and equipped with skills to apply directly in real-world cybersecurity roles.
This course is designed for cybersecurity professionals, ethical hackers, and IT practitioners seeking to advance into penetration testing roles or validate their expertise with CompTIA PenTest+. It is also suited for system administrators and network security engineers who want to expand their skills in offensive security. Prior knowledge of networking fundamentals, security basics, and command line operations will help learners maximize the value of this training.
